Originally by: Mangtoos That is because you are comparing apples to oranges. When looking at Dreads vs Titans, you look at 20-30 dreads, or even 100.
20-30 dreads will melt a titan, 100 will liquify it.
That is going to be the problem with testing this on SISI, there simply won't be a situation that is comparable to what TQ will/can do. Either everybody will be in titans or everybody will be in dreads and there won't be a proper titan ganking fleet set up. Atleast not this weekend!
It is also true that for every titan you can build ten times as many dreads, the same with cruisers and battleships. But while it's possible to kill a poorly fitted solo battleship with a cruiser it is way different on the dread vs titan battlefield. Not that i know anything about that in practice since i don't own a titan on TQ...
I however think that any platform that has a deathstar weapon really need to go into siege mode. And only in siege mode is that weapon operational! Kinda the same applies to it's guns, only in siege mode are the guns becoming useful. While they can fire and get the occasional lucky hit outside of siege, their real use becomes apparent in siege mode.
It should take longer for a titan to come into and out of siege mode than a dreadnaught, and i really think the dread could do with a shorter delay when going in and out of siege as well.
And i agree with most people here, i too wanna know exactly what role each and every capital ship will play in dominion. And how using a dread rather than a titan is favorable in certain situations where all you need is to melt other capitals and poses.
Finally, what role will poses play now besides safe spots, moon goo extractors and capital manufacturing facilities? Indeed they should become less powerful now that they aren't the big targets they used to be. Otherwise no-one in their right mind is going to want to even consider attacking one until everything else is taken care of in the system and when that happens we are still back in the pos bashing caveman activity we had before dominion.
My opinions belong to me, you can't have them!
