Ive been playing the game for a bit so there is stuff I know and ofc there is stuff I don't :) but this really got me interested and hoping someone can clarify it for me. Lets say my character has Titan Skill 5 and Doomsday 5 and the rest of relevant skills related to flying a Titan are good and I decide to join an alliance.
First question: How does one go by obtaining 80 billion isk needed to purchase a Titan? Is this an alliance budget purchase or this your personal wealth purchase that you managed to assemble threw out the years of playing?
Second question: Lets say I already have a Titan therefore I am a great asset to the alliance from my understanding. Lets say I join with my personal Titan and become a defender of alliance frontier with it. Where is the money in it for me? I mean I shoot enemy ships for my new alliance and they pop but I don't collect loot obviously so where is the income will come from? To go deeper so you guys perhaps can understand me more, I put an 80 billion isk ship in hostile environment that can be destroyed so where is my compensation be coming from? Do alliance arrange some sort of agreement with a Titan pilot with maybe some monthly deductions into his wallet or is it more like Ohh matey tks for joining us, your titan is needed today at 20:00 game time hopefully it doesnt pop and if it does well tough luck matey Fly Safe! ?

most often, if somebody can fly a titan its the alt of one of the alliances directors - and they will build the titan themselves from the alliancd and corperation wallets. also from having a strong industrial side to the alliance that can mine and manufacture the compenents, if you had your own titan an alliance may purchase it from you, but usually the most effective way to get a titan is to build one.
I may be wrong, but thats how i've seen it done in the past on several occasions. and if you are reading this you have reached the signature without noticing. |

Oh man
First to OP: Im sorry, i have no idea.
Second: Im am such a happy camper for not being able to even think about riding a titan for some time.
Titanpilots seems (acording to the response in this thread) to be a special breed of ****heads Whats youre problem in answering this dudes questions? are u ******ed or so special u cant be bothered coughing up a decent reply to a perfectly viable question? Or is it just that u dont know the answer, but had to barf out some memes to get a tingle in ure e-peens?
Get da **** out of his thread already and let someone with a mental age over 12 answer his question

Edited by: Mya ElleTerego on 28/04/2010 19:08:13 Titan pilots with a recycleable cloaky cyno alt, have it pretty easy tbh. You get a few mates, and you guys look for systems active with Jump freighters, that are nuetral / red. And you just fish for them, once you catch one the titan DDs it, and you guys split up the loot in some fashion.
Edit: By easy I didnt mean it wasnt horribly boring, but funny once you catch one. Alliance Recruit thread Alliance Homepage/Killboard |

Edited by: Rebnott Valeri on 28/04/2010 21:12:02 There are, to my knowledge, no "dedicated" Titan "persons" in EVE.
You are locked up in one and pretty useless for your in-game fun and of no use to your alliance/corp mates when the tit is not needed.
A lot of titan accounts are shared; CCP knows that, Alliance FC know that, we all know that.
So get something usefull for your own pleasure first. I heared SC are the new FOTM.
Edit: just saw your ISK estimate: its 60 bil tops.

<------ Used to be Hurley until I sold her.
A character named Martinez and myself have played since 2003 and amassed enough wealth and produce enough residual income that we were able to purchase 2 titans with completely personal funding and could have gotten a 3rd (we obviously have given up on the idea however)
We never were paid to use it, only fuel was given and we used it for the alliances we were in simply because we wanted to contribute to the alliance we belonged to. Being a titan pilots opens doors to leadership, you get to meet more people because of it and overall achieve a nice sense of awesomeness having one, all of which was enough payment, for me anyways.
The downsides of owning your own are: People get angry when you don't open bridges for them, leadership expects you to be on more often, and leadership holds you to a higher standard (BoB kicked me after losing one). You also put yourself more into view of leadership, meaning, a regular player can probably get away with pvping little or flying junk, but if you are a titan pilot there is an expectation from you. Oh, and you make people nervous to the point that blowing you up is somehow a good idea.
Anyways, any other questions, feel free to evemail me. I am trying to play again after a 5 month hiatus. In a small corp with some good guys and away from IT, PL, DVRN (now in Atlas), AAA and Atlas.
Don't Ban me for my Love of Amarr! |

Breaks down something like this:
If you are a fully titan skilled pilot, joining an alliance does not guarantee you the right to be handed a titan right off the bat. How does your alliance leader know he will ever see that titan again? You will have to be (or appear) trustworthy. Good luck with that
As for your other question: If you have the isk to buy your own personal titan you would not be asking how best to make money. The answer is: some alt who does something or other that makes you a ****load of isk. I dunno, trader, reaction chain pos, T2 production(if you have the BPO's) whatever! You need a small army of cyno alts anyway, might as well have those spare account slots filled with some kind of isk generator.
If any pilot in EVE has ever made enough money out of his Titan to break even on the investment I certainly have never heard about it.

You will not be piloting a titan before you learn how to afford one. And neither will you need to worry about your income once you managed to get one.
Oh and don't worry about your alliance duties as a titan pilot. Unless you got some serious pvp experience you wouldn't dare to use your titan anyways. And if you did you'd lose it in a ******ed way much like the other one that died recently.
So if I understand you correctly I'd suggest to you not to train any titan skills. It's a waste of time for you.

If you have enough isk for a personal titan...Loot is not how you make money.

- If you played long enough within the alliance, lets say a year and the members have enough faith in you, they will be more then happy to work with you on getting an alliance titan - Ripping off some corp with your alts after they let you use their stuff and wallets usually is a method most personal titans were funded - Isk purchase - Moon Goo - Give up on titan and fly a bs - Go into business with char sales, but then again, you need at least 10b isk to kick off with decent sales and then the patience to wait to "reap what you sow" at a later stage.
I recommend the char sales. Good isk if you got a clue what youre doing. :) Or if you have an alt in one of the bigger alliances and not some poor helpless corp in the making, rip em off. MM or IT, I am certain those guys easily generate 1b / day easy. :)

Dear OP,
A titan is not something you usually buy when you have just one EVE Online account and/or one 'main'(/pilot skilled up to the point of being usefull). Standard procedure for obtaining a titan involve having atleast 2 accounts (being able to light your own cyno's is as most super-cap pilots, or even cap pilots can tell you, a must). The isk to buy it (remember it's not just the ship, you have to spend AT LEAST as much as the ship itself on deadspace/officer mods or you will get laughed at on CAOD when your titan eventually does die and the killmail is posted) can come from personal wealth (say you are a T2 bpo producer.. or a bigtime scammer, or just a regular plain old corp/alliance thief) but most titans are paid for by multiple people.
A titan is something that requires a lot of logistics from a corp/alliance to keep it alive, maintain it and not get it blown up. Therefor it it's almost just as much of a corp/alliance asset as it is a personal asset.
Most people, in order to not make the account their titan pilot is on useless for anything else, buy a regular combat toon to put in one of the alts slots. (or buy a titan pilot toon to put next to their current main combat pilot).
Holding characters are sometimes employed aswell to sit in the ship while it's (regular) owner goes off to... well, I dunno, drink quafe with some exotic dancers and damsels that have up untill recently been in distress. __________________________________________________
