1st? To scare smaller ships without a 50k+ tank

As in What do you people think A Titan is good for? IMHO they need to be buffed up. They cant tank very well at all. They have **** poor DPS and the DD can be tanked without a prob at all. The JP generator is kinda useful but not to much. So that begs the question. Are Titans worth it?

To a single pilot? Prolly not. To an alliance that uses them tactically, yes.
A battleship with a 50k+ tank is easier to kill when most of his tank has been chewed off and he's lost most of his support.

poor dps ? not when you use 3-4 to DD a 200 man gang ... killing 200 or more ppl in 3-4 ships dosen't seem that poor imo
back to op , titans ar ment to ruin the fun in eve :)

But the thing is in all the "titan vids" you see on youtube all the support for the titan has either been killed off or are put at bay and the titan goes down anyway.

Titans are desinged to be big non-economical e-peens for the big allainces.
They have some tactical value, but is more or less a show of how rich and powerful an allaince is.
But to really use them you need lots and lots of gang members in a fleet (not solo like some of the old bob pilots, who manages to loose them every now and then )

ok so 3-4 DD to a fleet is good against some ships yes. But against BS's HIC's and other high res ships the DD is nothing being that you get hit and you have ample time to rep up your armor/shield before the next one comes. I have been hit by an Avatar DD in an abaddon and i took 8k damage rep'd it back up and continued to shoot him...

Titans Shouldnt have to fly around in fleets with multi-titans. They should be haus enough to make it to where people say "Oh those guys have a titan Dont F**k with them. Because as of right now i dont feel like titans have any power and they are just meh titans what ever

Edited by: Tritanium Don on 30/03/2009 13:01:22 Just having a titan on your side means the enemy has to DD tank their battleships. Which means even if not present on the field the titan provides a benefit.
Multiple DDs can remove entire fleets. They are not easy to pull off which is the way it should be.
Titan bridging is pretty hot too. Any decent alliance can get titans pretty easily. Titans are way more useful then motherships imo.

you obviously don't know much about titans.
For 0.0 pvp alliances they are the most usefull ship around.
first of all their primary application : blowing entire fleets up. 1 titan can destroy an entire support fleet , if it doesn't manage to get away before the boom hits. 2 titans can generally destroy entire battleship fleets causing incredible damage to your enemy and turning the tide ina fight. 3 titans can destroy any battleship fleet around (exept if they are the same damage types and the battleships know they will get 3 x doomsdayed , but then they'd be prety much useless for other things as surviving)
then their secondairy application : Being a mobile jumpbridge , you can get an entire fleet in a system in an instant without using regular gates. Can you even imagine how usefull that is ?
For instance , TRI has 3 (known) titans and are currently bothering the NC with them. TRI recently blew up the entrie NC battleship fleet while it entered the system with their 3 titans.
they managed to get absolute system controll by using 3 titans , while being heavily outnumbered.
so hell yeah , titans are worth it. they stole my sig :'( |
