Just thinking out loud.
If Titans could fit some sort of module, or other similar system, that while operative disabled to use of doomsdays on the grid, would we see more Titan's committed to large fleet engagements to protect the sub cap blobs from DDD popping? Would it change the paradigm of super-cap deployment in Fleet warfare for the better?

Because a static Titan is a dead Titan. It's much simpler to simply warp off you sub-cap fleet. It's even more preferable to lose your whole cap fleet than to put you Titan at risk thusly.

Understandable. I find it a bit unsatisfactory though that titan deployment is typically: Cyno, DDD, warp-out.
Perhaps Titans need a buff in their other roles aside from simply doomsday platforms, so their worth as a static battle-turtle in your fleet warrants the cost and risk of losing one.

I think titans need a complete rethink along with a complete rethink of 0.0 sov. Personnally, I'd like for them to become mobile stations. You could anchor it down, and when you do so, the jump bridge would extend from the titan to any station you alliance possesses.
Or something crazy like that.

I think titans bring a lot more than just a DDD to your fleet. They provide some pretty amazing fleet bonus's, if you had one of each you'd get what?
37.5% more armor, shields, cap, and some stupid bonus minimitar gives you (Agility I think). This just makes you leave one cloaked at a safe spot, or at a safe POS.
As well as the ability to jump bridge ships in and out. I personally would like to see the ability for players to be able to dock in a titan. So that you can make a fleet much more mobile from further distances. Everyone docks up, cyno over, DDD, undock and finish up the rest. :) This would also have the effect of making it more likely and corp/alliance would use their titan for logistics and deployment. Hence increasing the risk to the ship.
You could also give them the ability to fit seige modules, to make them more of an offensive weapon in cap fights. Because you're right, other than the doomsday there is no reason to commit them to any massive engagement involving capital ships.

Titans are more for planetary command and control manuevers, meaning that they would house thousands of military personel for ground assault, defense, as well as plantary bombardment. The titan would also serve as the system operations for all fleet operations within a constellation.

I support this only so some idiot titan pilots fit this and try to successfully deploy this tactic to their death

i'd say more like a nerf to the ddd to start with..
super caps and caps in general just seems to **** over the mechanic for every other ship, rendaring them useless for 0.0 space..

I'd say chuck this on with the rest of the ideas about titan reworks, tbh there's a fair few that sound workable and there's plenty out there.
A though on the op's idea however, why not make it that the titan sort of launches a 'giant space pudding' (this is why I don't try and come up with sci fi names). This then causes any titan that launches a DDD within range of said 'giant space pudding' to take a large amount of damage. You could even have it that activating a DDD creats a 'average space pudding' as a way to prevent ppl from using multiple DDD.
Could even work in with my personal favorite solution of giving the DDD 3 functions, adding in the 'giant space pudding' launcher as a 4th function for the titans.
- large range (full field) average damage effect slightly less damage than current. 60 min cd
- short range (10-30km) high damage effect slightly better damage than current. 30 min cd
- single target extremely high damage use 3 or so titans to take out a carrier/dread. 10 min cd

rabble rabble!
remove dd's. add 5 to 10mil armor or shield hp's (armor to armor tankers, shield to shield tankers blah, adjust shield recharge too, so they have a good buffer to not insta pop and be support able) to titans and give them the ability to actually "fight" in fleet battles. dunno, something like 15xl slots, 20 large slots, 20 med slots (all high). so you can fight titan vs titan and all such kinky set ups. a solo titan should win vs 3-5 dreads (w/o support on the dread or titan side)
something like this - dd's are lame and did not stop blobbing at all.

Personally, I love this concept.

Give them siege modules and make siege mode required for DD, maybe give them more tank.
and then
carrier => moms
dreadnoughts => titans
or something like that |
