Approximately how much time would it take for a brand new player to go from noob to flying a titan at it's maximum potential?
Please include the time for all of the best weapons and fittings and rigs, with the other skills that contribute towards maximum efficiency and potential. |

real quick and dirty... about 400 days if an Amarr pilot went from a new egg to an Avatar pilot with 5s in gunnery, captial guns, and doomsday. I have to say about because I'm not going to nitpick it to death. Without a remap or implants you are looking at over 530 days. With a remap and an immediate train to cybernetics 5 to get +5 implant it would be around 400 days. If you happen to have the starter boosters you might be able to knock off a couple more days.
Oh and you'll need about 6.5 billion isk worth of skill books in the process. This message brought to you by Experience(tm). When common sense fails you, experience will come to the rescue. Experience(tm) from the makers of CONCORD. |

Well, I'll not even guess. But you could figure it out by starting at what skills the titan of choice needs, then opening those sills and see what their requirements are and so on from top to bottom, a level at a time. Same for weapons, shields, armor, ewar, counter ewar, etc. Bet you could be done training before you'd complete your list of things to do!
Me? I'd concentrate on improving frigate skills and enjoy flying those, there a great deal of fun! |

It's hard to estimate correctly because it would depend on how well you optimize your training with implants and neural remaps, but if you want to fly the ship with good skills and use all of its systems and modules with good skills, i'd say it's at least 4 years of training. That said, most of the skills you'll pick up on the way are useful for every other kind of ship anyway. |

Titans are nothing but jails for your character. Once you get in one, you're never getting out. |

I'm not necessarily saying I want to get into a titan.
I just want to know the lengths those who've gone before have put themselves through to achieve the maximum potential of a singular individual in the galaxy of new eden. |

If you're in an alliance who can field titans, it's no problem to buy characters with good titan skills. The cost of a single titan outweights the cost of the character flying it.
Most titan pilots are alts in the first place for reasons such as not being able to dock. www.minerbumping.com |

Quote:maximum potential of a singular individual I'm not sure titan piloting skills have any relevance to individual potential, but okay.
By the seat of my pants, I'd guess maybe 4-5 years or so to max out all skills for a titan and its fittings. Mind you, the last 2 years would probably be spent squeezing out that last 5% efficiency (potential?), so whoever is doing this either has to love training skills, or passively do it on an alt.
The titan pilot would also end up crippled in a variety of non-Titan-essential skills (e.g. drone skills, smaller ship skills, electronic warfare skills) which would make him quite useless at everything but using a dreadnought/titan. That's why my first comment about individual potential. Excepting the few big battles where titans get deployed on the field (they're too vulnerable and expensive to throw around all the time), the titan pilot will spend 99% of his time being a glorified space taxi to jump sub-capital ships from place to place.

Well, I'm sorry but I'm afraid I have to proclaim I have a

with that answer.
I'm j/k. Thanks for taking the time to help me out with some information. It's nice to know things. |

Maximum what of individual who? Are you seriously consider titan pilot character as most powerful character in Eve? I know you do because I saw your posts in GD about frigs being useless and newbies being prisoners of skill queue for a year before they can do anything.
Titan pilot is just specialized alt for very specialized purposes. While amount of training and money needed for making him viable is considerably bigger than in case of other specialties and ships it is nothing godlike about him. Once he boards titan hull he will never leave it until ship get exploded or sold. Yes, very exciting career indeed. I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

But within the scope of todays new players. How long for a noob. Install EVEmon from that link, and you can get exact numbers and tune them as desired. There are also two "types" of titan pilots: real pilots and babysitters (just have the skills to sit in a titan and log out, leaving your main free to do other things). |

No.
Titans sound cool. That's it honestly. Bigger is NOT better in EVE. It takes longer the fly bigger sure, but it does not make you better. |

The question you need to ask yourself is why you want to fly a titan at all.
They are the best ship in the goal at one thing - dealing huge bursts of damage (on a long cooldown) to player-controlled capital ships. They are almost totally worthless at everything else (other than transporting allies as a taxi).
If you want to master a ship that's a true jack-of-all-trades, skill up a pilot that focuses on strategic cruisers. You can have good skills in one of those much more quickly than a titan too. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=318489 - Proposal for a new type of tech 2 Destroyer If you want to mine in highsec, read www.minerbumping.com. |

Perfect is a big word ofc. But for "perfection" you are looking at about 120 mio SP in support skills alone. Add to that your ship skills. Divide by your estimated training speed and you would have your answer.
For this reason many Titan alts are actually glorified sitters who can fire a doomsday, set up a jump bridge and can tank whatever is thrown at them. You could build one of these for about 70 mio SP.

We get it.
But many new players who will undoubtably read this thread should be made aware that choosing to skill right up to a Titan from day 1 is ALMOST ALWAYS a bad idea. Titans aren't as much fun as you (the brand new capsuleer) think they are, for reasons you will learn as you play for a while.
It's an interesting skill question, but a bad first career choice.

The best career path to get into a Titan is this:
- Learn to scam. Get to 5b ISK scamming. - Learn to trade. Get to 125b ISK trading. - Buy a titan pilot on the character bazaar. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=318489 - Proposal for a new type of tech 2 Destroyer If you want to mine in highsec, read www.minerbumping.com. |
