I'd hope Titans aren't more powerfull than BS's could you imagine the pure HELL that would be unleashed as only the super corps could bang this things out? OMG...0.0 would be conquered and taken over quicker than I could scream :)
I'm tellin ya they will, I've seen screenshots of the specs of titans and they have insane cpu and powergrid thus allowing them to put on the bigest of everything hence being more powerful than battleships. I'm thinking that these will really be intended for yes carrying other ships but also laying seige to player built outposts as the outpost defences will be pretty hard hitting and formidable.
I really do think new massive weapons will be released for the titans.titans should be very vulnrable to cruisers/frigates seeing that I'm sure if new giant guns are released they will ahve tracking speeds that are beyond lame.
maybe we should even be looking forward to bigger launchers and maybe dare I say seige torpedos or something
-First there was nothing then there was Xistance, then it all got kinda Twisted- |

The Specs you have seen of the Titans are old beta specs.
They are not how Titans will be once they come out (in a year at least is my guess).
Cruisers are excellent frigate killers if properly fitted.
2 Thoraxes can destroy most battleships quickly.

every single ship has several roles when properly fitted and pilioted
its just up to you to do it instead of complaining about it
smaller ships in swarms destroy larger fleets

yes I rember seeing those stats with massive powergrid and cpu, but did you look at the shield/armor/structure? nothing about 2700, so they looked pretty fragile compared to a bs..

I'm gonna give you the same advice I give to everybody who has every complained about a class/faction/ship in a multiplayer game :
If you think it's overpowered, play it.

Theres a reason we dont make battleships anymore. im not sure i would retreat to real life examples. A fighter plane is nothing but an interceptor and naval battles are defined by the fighter plane.

Titans = ubber carriers
Dreadnaughts = ubber guns of total wtfpwnig
Titans are ships that stay in the rear of a battle, supporting the other ships.
Dreadnaughts are... well... Mobile Platform Weapons of Mass wtfpwning, or MPWMWTFPWNING, whatever you want to call them

The role of cruisers is obvious. Their job is to fly in while everyone else is fighting and pick up any loot cans that drop. 
You can also pack them full of cap, have them hide behind the battleships, and charge the battleship's shields.
Or you can load them up with megacyte, equip three MWD's on them, and send them on a high speed Kamikaze run to ram the enemy ships. Sort of like an oversized missile of sorts.

I think many people choose to fight in cruisers after bs, cause they by then have a lot of the basic skills trained up, to be able to make good fittings for cruisers, whereas they become viable to use with 2-3 ew frigs.

For large values of 1, that's true, actually.

Hmmm, every tabletop wargame that I've played (at least that I can remember) large numbers of small ships always seemed to fair better than small numbers of large ships (such as in Silent Death). Never tested that theory in Starfleet Battles due to time constraints, so I can't speak from a position of total knowledge, but it seemed to hold true in most. One might argue that they are based on a points value, to which I might respond that they don't take into account skill points of the pilots, which in this game can be key. Just a thought.

Wait until ccp nerf the fighters then.

So what your saying is that my cities milita can spank the Country's army cause we're small agile and got nerve? :S
Erm... not a very good analagy b/c armys are just that. armys. there composed of many units, of varying speeds and abilitys. and a small skilled fleet of frigs and crusers can inflict heavy damage on, say, an alliance fleet, especially because there broken up in several different places, just like a real army.
if an army was composed of entirely tanks (eve comparison: bs) a small army of well trained mobile infantry (eve comparison: intys) would (or should) win. in both cases tracking is the problem. can you hit a quick moving jeep or soldier with a giant tank cannon? no. the way tanks try to counter this is with machine guns (small or med turrets) and infantry support (eve compareison: frig escort). in current warfare it is suicide to fight with tanks alone.
oh, btw, i hate real life compareisons

All down to pilot skill,
cruisers own with the right loadouts and the right pilots behind the controls.
