Simple really, every time the Titan fires a DD, the module gets damaged/destroyed. Might curb the use of the DD except for emergencies.

And each thread, no one can come up with 1 iota of worth for nerfing the DD. Most of the time the reason to nerf is X alliance doesnt have a Titan and Y alliance does. X gets angry that they get owned, Y laughs because X cant afford jack _____*

If the titans got 100%/lvl to the corresponding capital turret/weapon damage ppl would would bring more of them into grid and perhaps they could actually be destroyed. ___ P.S. Post with your main. Mind control and tin hats |

Hmmm, i'd maybe increase the 'cooldown' from firing to 6 hr's or something but damaging or destroying the weapon is abit silly, would be like the death star outta star war's blowin itself up everytime it fires, wouldn't make sense.

Increasing the duration would simply mean you want more Titans, or just scrap them altogether. It would make it all or nothing, with the rich going for all, and those who could previously maybe field one titan perhaps just give up.
Thats the problem with superweapons. How do you balance something thats inherently designed to be unbalanced?
If you wanted to nerf them, make remote DDing make them immobile for a few minutes while making them have a cyno-style beacon that you can then warp to. Disable cloaking and ewar immunity during this time. None-remote DDing does not carry this risk, making there a reason to use the titan in a position that you might lose it.
Just my thought, but I'm rather neutral on Titans. Thats just what I'd recommend if they needed nerfing, I'm not convinced either way if they do or dont.

sound's all well and good but how often are multiple titan's from the same side in system, a handful of time's that i can remember.

That's only because there are not a huge number of titans in game yet. When BoB double their current holding of five Titans I am sure we'll see lots of double Titan action (hmm, sounds like a **** film) :)
Anyway, threads like this are annoying. Goonswarm and friends trying to get titans nerfed because they don't have the toys yet and want to stop everyone else having theirs. A friend told me that their leadership even posted a pep talk into their forums asking their membership to start complaining en mass to get titans nerfed. Is this true?

One thing tho... Why would you want to cut the use of the DDD down to emergencies only when the sole purpose of this 100billion ship is to use it's DDD?

Increase the cool down time to hmm 2 or 3 hours and HALF dmg when fired though a cyno, If you want to ddd someone propley it should be in thier face not through a cyno.

From what I can work out the problem of the DDD being over-powered isn't so much the weapon's destructive force, as the fact it is couple to a nion-indestructible ship.
How about removing the DDD from the titan, and replacing it with a large number of primarily defense weaponary and allow the titan to function as a mobile base of operations, with the capacity to defend itself from even very strong attacks.
Then add a second tier of dreadnoughts and pump them up (similar to the relationship between motherships and carriers) and allow it to fire a noticably nerfed DDD.
The weapon would no longer be over-powered as the ship carrying it would be easier to destroy, and the effect of it would be reduced.
tbh i'm quite happy with the way things are at the moment, but if something was to change it think this maybe the way to go, an alternative would be to force the DDD to be charged prior to firing (maybe 10 minute spin-up) and 30 seconds before the weapon goes off, it will be detectable by the enemy. (i.e. warp quick or die). ___________________

Edited by: Lord WarATron on 04/05/2007 10:15:24 Thats the problem - once per hour and they can jump into you!
What happens is n00balt makes a titan post on the hour every hour. No section of the forum is safe. You could be reading a topic with 300 forum warriors all in the same place, then all of a sudden, someone fires up a "post topic" cyno and boom! Forum blasted into oblivian!
Then you recover and build up the usual exciting topics such as removing training time, or suiciding freightors needed a nerf, or even nerf to cloaking then an hour later BOOM! Another Titan DD thread.
This was not a problem before, but now there are 5 posters posting between them. Thats one every 12 minutes! What can we do now? --
