Here’s the build for Glen and his primary frame, Cait-Sidhe, as of License Level 4.
Glyndwy “Glen” Shaw (callsign Editor)
I didn’t set out for Glen to be a leader – or much of a social character at all, really. The original concept was a recon and direct action guy. But after setting up Task Group Brigand, he’s felt a certain responsibility toward them, which is why he’s now at Lead or Inspire +4.

Amber Phantom frame Cait-Sidhe
Cait-Sidhe is my attempt to lean into a Gunslinger build while running a frame that I find innately cool. The Amber Phantom fits my preferred vibe of fast and agile with some interesting options in combat. Four Oracle LMG-Is are a huge point suck, but their 15-hex range means I can really exploit my speed – being out of range of return fire is, itself, a sort of armor. The assault rifle is a constant in the build because no one ever complained about having Reliable damage. The RPG is a placeholder – I mislike the action economy on Loading, but it gives me a good opening salvo for now. Next license level is probably going to be Tortuga 1, at which point a Decksweeper shotgun will replace it as the solution for enemies who do manage to close with me.
