Ok, here we go, i have a brilliant idea for an event but i have no-where near the amount of funding i need, i was hoping if enough people (preferably rich exentric EVE billionaires) with nothing better to do put together a load of cash, build 1 of each of the 4 titans, and have some sort of very elaborate, huge tournament, with 4 winners (one of each faction) to decide who wins the titans...
You could charge say...100k per entrant, publicise this loads and only let people use frigates in the tournament so no one can win purely because of their wallet.
at the moment it's just a vision of something that would be truly awesome, something that would require huge co-operation from many people, but ultimatley, it would benefit the community of eve and would be a prety good event to be part of.
And if no-one decides to help, ill just have to build up enough publicity and ISK to make it work, and if people do assist with this idea out, who knows, maybe ccp might crawl out of their private system to help out (which would be quite awesome), so come on people, lend a hand do some good, im not trying to make any money out of this, i just think it would be a great event to host or be part of.............
.......if anyone responds with a serious reply, i might start to look at this in more detail, get all of the figures for something of this scale etc, untill then, peace out..

hmm........
great idea but not too many people are going to help out, you would need backing from ccp for this, if this idea takes off it would be great, I mean realy good idea but you are going to need hundreds of billions for this. |

Good idea, but people wont pay though. Here is a solution, maybe you can charge like, 10mil a person, and one you get enough people, they pay up, then wa-la! 4 Titans for a tournament. But, you best backing is still CCP.

i have a fantastic idea about where the titans will be stored for the winner and how to stage the tournament without much hassle for us, it would involve ccp closing off an entire dead-end system and using a pasword protected stargate to enter it. _______________________________________________ Support project Titan Project Titan Thread |

There is absolutely no way to do this without an absolute guarantee from several major nullsec alliances and hundreds of billions in funds. CCP isn't going to just spawn four Titans for the contest, so they're going to have to be built out in sov 3+ systems. The acquisition of construction components and the building itself will take upwards of three months. Another issue is the months of training time it takes to get all the Titan prerequisite skills completed (Cap Ships 5 )
It'd be an epic event if you pulled it off, and there'd be four Titans given out to people who will probably get them destroyed within days of receiving them, but realistically it's probably overly ambitious to a high degree.
Maybe shoot for a Carrier or Dreadnaught giveaway instead since these are much easier to acquire. Even a Mom giveaway might work if you amassed about 100-125 billion ISK and bought four Moms from the folks who actually produce them commercially.

Even though I simply love your idea (And I would gladly back you up, but due to personnal plannings that isn't possible =/) I do believe that the post above got some truths in it. I'm completely sure that Project Titan will come to life one day. But maybe you should try something less harder to hand out first, like dreads, carriers or even moms. That way, you build up reputition, thrust and more peoples behind you, you will also achieve a lot of experience by doing so, and hopefully in not so long I see you giving out titans on monthly bases when I'm back
But yet again, do what you feel is right. Allow this guy to explain.

SPEND Corp would like nothing better than to see four Titans given away and destroyed, because SPEND Corp loves the rampant discord within New Eden. I seriously hope you pull this off, but I just can't believe that there's a realistic way to do this. I will personally provide a minimum of a million ISK in support of the giving away of any other Capital ship class category.

Thanks for the support guys, im going to pull this off if it kills me, i need you all to help out by adding the link to this thread in your sigs and char bio (PLEASE!!) and if you know anyone who can help, with getting capital parts bpc's the minerals needed etc.
I will make this happen, just the system blockade thing for the competition will be down to CCP or we're going to have to figure out another way of doing this, but still, i remain adamant that i will see this through, but im going to need a lot of support. _______________________________________________ Support project Titan Project Titan Thread |

This doesn't seem possible, plausible, or probable.
But GL anyways.

How's about you get people to guard the gate. 4 titans should help a bit :P
Get them in, and a cyno jammer in the area might be a realistic start. You would of course need a system with sov by a corp/ alliance you can trust.
As said befre though, I don't think titans is the best ship class to start with, and you could definately charge more than 100,000k to enter.

Sorry, but how to you want to afford the 4 titan prizes?
Should be around 4*80b = 320b isk
How many pilots need to pay 10 mill for the event?
320,000,000,000 / 10,000,000 = 32,000 pilots
So you need every active pilot participating on Sunday afternoon.
Jita is unplayable with 700 in local
