Hi there,
was wondering what some of you guys consider in this matter:
Would there be a demand on Titan BPCs if there would be some and if yes which of all 4 races do you think would be on highest demand?
I thought that the Erebus might be on highest demand as there are many Thanatos and Nyx pilots who are able to go for the Erebus.....though i also was thinking that there are many Caldari pilots and maybe the Leviathan might also be in high demand.....
So i thought asking here for some feedback on player based oppinions about this |

IMO, there's not going to be nearly enough demand for Titan BPCs to cover the cost of the BPO. There are only a small handful of Titans currently, and post titan-nerf, they aren't being built with the frequency that they were pre-nerf. I'd be amazed if you could sell more than 1 BPC every few months.
Just my opinion though. --

Well, copying them takes a good while too.

I suspect that the people who are capable of keeping a capital ship assembly array alive already have the BPOs they need.

Yeah well it takes in a POS lab approx 4 months to make a copy....so if they sell in that time it's fine.....still which kind would be in higher demand....

Well I suppose you could probably get around 15-20b a BPO if you put one level of ME research on it. That's about a year to break even (or just over an 8% monthly return). If you're going to do this though I'd recommend 1) buy the BP, 2) move it via covops to another station quickly, 3) It never moves again, 4) that you have a chain of alts so that one alt copies, another moves yet another alt holds the BPC and gives it in a couple days time to a final alt sells and 5) that you never use contracts to move items between those alts (trade everything). Always move the BP as a courier contract set to youself that includes at least one other item (so it shows as a multiple item courier if anybody looks). Change which stations you sell from after each sale and never move your seller alt into the system until your holder alt already has the BPC in its hands. Always have the courier alt out of the system before the seller alt moves in. Your holder alt should be disposable and change each time.
That will PROBABLY keep folks from tracking you down and interfering with your operations but I wouldn't 100% count on it.

Well, if you're really really serious about it, I think the most used Titan so far has been the Avatar.
Leviathans get a shield bonus, which isn't terribly useful since a good portion of a fleet is going to be armor tanks. Erebus gets armor bonuses, which is decent and probably why they're the second most used Titan, Ragnaroks get a sig radius reduction which is all well and good, but not anything to really write home about, and then there's the Avatar, which gets the capacitor recharge bonus - far and away the best bonus out of all of them. --

If you think you can sell a single Titan BPC I think I want to be on whatever you're on. If you think you can recoup your investment and make a higher monthly return than you could with motherships than I think you're even crazier.
This is something that wouldn't pay off for years... and even then it would be such a horribly low rate of return that it wouldn't be worth the time/effort. If you have to ask which one is the best then you honestly won't be selling any of them. The only people that could try to pull off such a venture are those with direct connections to the largest alliances and have already sensed interesting in getting a BPC this way.
I wouldn't think of investing my own money to try this myself, For 63 million I'd rather buy 1 of each mothership BPO. Those have a steady market.

honestly,i agree with the folks above,i dont think these would sell well enough to be worth it,but if you want to continue i would suggest asking the market who would be interested in this,that way you can get feedback from your customers and not just winging it,if you have a steady set of customers looking for the bpcs then that is alot better then hoping someone wants it,just my thoughts for ya

Unfortunately you can't just randomly ask the market about this. You have to ask the alliances big enough to build titans. And they will likely just laugh at you unless you are known to them or they trust you. The last thing they want to do is to telegraph their desire for a titan BPC as that telegraphs that they want to build a Titan... which could get them some added heat by enemies if it slipped out.
You need good 0.0 connections for a business like this. But if you had those you wouldn't have to ask which titan would sell the best.
