It is also not uncommon for Pilots to personalise their Titan chassis with Nose Art, Paint Jobs and Insignias alongside custom modifications and equipment. Pilots are also known to become very attached to their Titans, for instance, Jack Cooper and BT-7274, as they both rely upon each other to fight and survive effectively. Because of the extreme physical and mental challenges of mastering both Titan combat and dismounted parkour movement, a fully combat certified Titan Pilot is a rare find, and the combat skills of active Pilots in the field varies wildly throughout The Frontier. The most prestigious certification is the Full Combat Certification - a widely-published series of tests that grade a Titan Pilot's abilities.
Titan Pilots are rated by "certifications", most of which apply to civilian applications. It requires extensive training to effectively operate a Titan, especially in combat. Once a battle is concluded, the IMC is known to utilise the Widow transport craft to help transport Titans back into orbit, ready for re-deployment. This process can take under five minutes to assemble the Titan from pre-existing parts.
While on a starship, Titans are constructed on-site from parts on the ship before being ready to drop. This deployment method is extremely precise and allows the Titan to arrive on the ground in under a minute. This involves the Titan being launched out of a starship hangar bay at hyper-sonic velocities in a manner similar to a Drop Pod. Most Titans are typically deployed into battle via the process of a "Titanfall". However, the chief application for the Titan platform and the role that made it famous is that of combat, providing heavy fire support equivalent to that found on a main battle tank. The Reserve models of the Atlas, Ogre and Stryder additionally appear to be civilian model Titans fitted with improvised equipment, while the "Emergency Responder" Warpaint implies that the Scorch-class Titan may have some use in Firefighting roles, due to its fire-resistant plating. Unarmed variants, such as the Journeyman, can be fielded in a variety of roles such as agriculture, logistics, shipping and salvage, deep space search and rescue, cargo transport and construction. Titans are used for a variety of tasks throughout the Titanfall Universe.
