So the answer is: There are too many titans, let's make them horrible and just a mobile jump gate with a "show to the friends feature" of one-shotting anything?

No way sorry, every ship class of this game MUST have a role, if the role of the titan must be a logistic beast make it like this:

1) You can clone-jump to it as long as you have a free clone slot without installing it before only for the corporation of who own the titan, actually even a simple suicide-clone is ok since u lost already the implants, does not matter.
2) make it able to bring 50 fitted and ready to fight battlesihps in the ship maintanance plus other 20-30 cruiser sized stuff
3) Increase the jump portal and jump range to the one of carriers (or at least dreads)
4) remove the doomsday, remove the turret hardpoints, remove all drones.

Result will be:
1) I need to start an invasion or siege a system, i move my fleet, i secure the area, put a large pos and bring my titans there filled with ships.
2) When my people dies, if they are still alive they come to me and get a new ship, if they are podded they will clone-jump back to me and go back in fight.
3) I have the ability to follow carriers fleets as a logistic beehmoth, a sort of big war logistic asset that you bring around.
4) The increased jump portal ability, allow you to move freighters around eve in a EASY way for placing those enormous HUB's that need standard freighters.

Actually the jump range of a dread would be ok too, the titan one is so short that in some regions there is NO WAY to move them, for example for moving a titan from esoteria to period basis you must go back to empire and come down the other way... is stupid.

If you want the titan to be a LOGISTIC ship, make it able to REALLY help out people. If you people at CCP are scared about how it could end up to balance the titans in fight, just don't make them fight but MAKE THEM USEFUL.

CCP Dudes, don't make the "smart one" saying that "no-one expect titans to be cost effective" like you did at the fanfest, don't make the "big guys" if i spend 100b on something it MUST DO SOMETHING or is just plain broken, one-volleying a lone carrier in front of a station and rubbing my e-peen with friends is NOT what should be.
