Some went to WN of all people. Nothing quite like being doomsdayed by a titan built by your own alliance. |

Dreads can be used by small alliances to great effect, actually much better effect then larger alliances who will just drop supercarriers, ( i still feel stupid saying "supercarrier" when we all know it should be "moms") as a small alliance trying to get someone else out of their space will have to go for the pos's and usually wont have that many moms on hand.
titans, (as an ex-RAGE person, i agree with Mfume Apocal, there is nothing like seeing a titan your alliance made used against you) are very limited in use for a small alliance good for a few things they probably wont be used that much simply because you cant afford to replace them.
Carriers are the backbone of an alliance big or small. they are used to evac your stuff, resupply/attack/defend pos's, bring stuff to markets and of course rat. had i a carrier at the time, i wouldn't have left stuff in rage space now owned by pl and goons.
a dread would not have been nearly as useful but they would have been when i got back to the space i was living in before i joined Rage. several people had moved into the space i wanted to be in and a dread would have expedited their leaving. in several different instances.
but i generally dont have any use for a dread so i still havent built one. a carrier on the other hand is pretty useful in all non hisec applications.

Well, you have some answers on if you can / should use them so I'll just chirp in with this:
Supers are tough to get into. You're not going to find many who'll be willing to hand out a 20-70 billion isk hull to a pilot and say "ok - have fun!". They want folks with some experience in capital class ships so plan on spending some time in capitals first.
Get on SiSi and try them out a bit. Bounce around some systems to get a feel for how to get to stations and the like. Docking with capitals is quite doable - figuring out the ranges a cyno should be and how to get docked quickly... That can take some time - usually just after you've failed to dock and bounce half way across the system then get to align and warp in on it.
Bouncing kind of sucks. Recovering from it can be educational and moving around via cyno is kind of important to learn and SiSi is a cheap place to do it with fair safety.
Check out the damage and abilities of the ships there - primarily on NPC's until you get a feel for it, then see about other players. |

Alright,
thank you all for all those replies. Very instructive. I gonna go for carrier and train on sisi first untill i get the hang of it and use it on tranquility.
I gonna see with my alliance if a dread would be worth trying out. Our ennemies have a lot of carriers so a dread might be usefull, you never know.
Thanks again for the feedback. |

dread yes - even if you have no use for it.
titan - no, they cost a fortune, and take too long to train up for you. . . you will pass 65 mil sp before you start to see how long it will take. |

. Don't know man, DRF loses titans often and it's just replaced via bot isk the next hour. the trick is to actually replace them, as opposed to rmt'ing all your bot income like the nc always did Well if the NC wasnt doing that, then how would the DRF get their titans? ouch...
Let me get this straight. The DRF both buys and sells rmt isk.. Seems likely |
