In more modern times, Serpentis CEO Salvador Sarpati successfully hijacked one of these Iapetans, dubbed the FNS Molyneux, and escaped to Serpentis Prime. The designers of the Gallente Titans promised so much in those early days, but in the end, they simply couldn't deliver. |

There was an Eve Chronicle that mentions Sky Mother but I searched for a while yesterday and could not find it.
This is probably the one you tried to find: Present PiecesNo idea what Skymother is, but could be an Iapetan Titan if you puzzle together the clues. So far, the Miamatar (Thukker) Iapetan Titans differ from the others in that they seem to be built more as a colossal city in space rather than being weapons of war (they're still a formidable powerhouse tho) Regarding the Jove Titans, they are few in number (3 confirmed) and actually tiny, compared to our capsuleer titans (Jove Titans are 4 km across) Read more about the Jove Motherships (actual name) in their evelopedia article. Last bit of advice, I've delved deep into the Titan lore & had to go digging into the very archeological depths of internet itself for certain screenshots & info. In other words, Iapetan lore hasn't been looked into a very long time, so if CCP ever decides to do something with them again ingame, there will be undoubtedly things that differ from what they used to be. Latest Iapetan action was in a newsarticle where the Gallente federation readied it's Soltueurs in a border military exersize prior to the Caldari Prime battle. That said, I'm a supporter of letting the Iapetan Titans keep their current air of mystery as long as CCP feels it's needed. Got to do something about the current state of capitals ingame before introducing something that can act like a station killer & fleet wiper.
Minmatar Sky Mother project remains to be a mystery. The only other reference to it comes from the end of Templar One where it's alluded to that the Sky Mother is "in trouble". Earlier in the book, General Kintreb mentions that New Eden is "dead" to the Elders and his comment implies some long term plan for the Minmatar or perhaps certain tribes to leave. That Roden was in the end having to game info on Sky Mother out of Shakor also suggests that the vast funds provided by the Federation are being appropriated for this project.
Long ago there was a thread on Hive Ships that had popularity. New space in wormholes and maybe for New Eden and Hive ships with changes to supers would certainly prevent the introduction of new space in the prospect of player built gates to be met with more than "meh, blue donut expands. back to grinding".

Nice analysis.
I've been talking to CCP t0rfifrans about putting together another book similar to EVE: Source and EVE: The Art Of New Eden that focuses solely on ships from a technical standpoint.
Titans would definitely be part of that.

I'd love to see more exploration of the tech of New Eden. Really it's kind of amazing the empires haven't wiped each other out considering they have advanced Nano-tech, spacial compression, highly advanced cloning and bio-tech, readily available anti-matter, and plasma shielding, not to mention jump gates and hyper-drive tech just to name a few off the top of my head.
Exploring how the ships function with all of this available to them would be hugely interesting.
Also I'd just like to point out that if that size comparison in the OP is accurate, then a Iapetan Titan almost stretch the radius of a grid (around 220-230 KM in length for the one pictured) and the size is roughly equivalent to if the US launched Vermont into orbit!
If one crashed into an earth-like planet the back half would still be in space!
It wouldn't even fit on this chart! |

Ever wonder where that tiny percentage of tritanium the empire refineries take from you every time you refine in one of there stations?, its for the maintenance and constant refitting of there Iapetan titans because the miniral requirements are so huge they decided to siphon some of the miniral income off the capsuleers and have us do some of there work for them. :-P |

Nice job :) I do believe some chronicles were deleted, especially the oldest ones. I was digging into the chronicles page and noticed that some chronicles that I remember were surely there, just don't appear on the list as it exists today. a shame, really

I am sure Chribba can afford it. He must have had an inside information years ago, so that's why he is mining all that Veldspar - to be the only owner of Iapetan, so he can mine more Veldspar with it! |

If you have an old install of EvE online, say the files from circa 2006 about the time of Red Moon Rising, you should be able to see the models as they all existed at that time.
IIRC there was a ccp run event where players fought Salvador Sarapati in a Solteuter but failed to blow him up.
Why Can't I have a picture signature.
Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

This should happen again maybe start rolling through Sov owned Null sec clearing stations/pos's
This would 1: be pretty awesome to see 2: help reduce capital ships in new eden.. ( 1/2 huge titans wrecking systems so you launch a supercap/titan fleet to fight it ending in a pile of super caps = less in game super caps) 3: reduce the amount of sov some alliance/coalitions hold 4: Be awesome to see |

Can you create one of the titans to actually exist in the game that will slowly move by higsec space. This is extra work for you , but just looking on something like this in game is worth to wait.

Y'know, these are a confirmed thing in the lore- not my own creation. And I don't want any player to ever get one- they're for the empires A live event with these would be a blast To Confirm: trying to talk smack to Uriel on the Lore is a bad idea.

There has to be exploded views/cross sections. Could be like "Incredible Cross-Sections" Eve style! Those kind of drawings would take a while, but maybe do the books in 5 installments, one for each empire and a 5th for pirates and other factions. Not every ship has to be exploded either, just do one drawing for every T1 ship class and have illustrations with technical descriptions for other T1s and T2s. Like do a cross-section of Merlin for example and then have a photo with exterior technical descriptions of a Hawks, follow up on the opposite page with smaller drawing of other frigates: Kestrel, Bantam, Kitsune, Manticore, etc. |

Honestly, the people saying they want to fight one of these are NUTS. In the lore, the drive wake from these things was enough to destabilize the orbit of planets. I can't help but feel like any Capsuleer grade capital ship would just get smashed like a bug on a windshield before it even got close. |
