It's funny, these things were supposed to be rare-uncommon ships wielded by major alliances. One or two were supposed to be noteworthy on the battlefield.

Now we see up to 15-20 fielded at a time.

If you think about it, 100 billion isn't THAT hard to get. I'm surprised there aren't more non-alliance Titans.

The question is though, what's the next step? Super-Titans capable of changing the surface of planets? Star-Destroyers capable of "DD'ing" conventional Capital Fleets?
Will it ever stop? :)

If CCP is smart, they will stop the shipsize gearflation now. It's already way too late to salvage the situation, but at least they can avoid making it worse.

Making carriers, dreads, and titans as tough as they are was a huge, huge mistake. It would cause howls to echo from here to eternity but the absolute smartest thing CCP could do would be to epic nerf carriers, dreads, motherships, and titans hit points down by a factor of five or more. They can keep their offensive abilities but if they don't get much, much easier to kill, 0.0 will stagnate to death.

A frigate can break a cruiser's tank given time, and four frigates can smoke one. A cruiser can break a BS's tank eventually, and four cruisers will smoke one. But a BS won't break a carrier's tank and it will laugh heartily at four BSs. And so on. That's where the break happened, and where gearflation went out of control. CCP should have known better, but they didn't.

Carriers should have BS levels of hp, but keep their fighter and triage etc capabilities. Dreads should have at most four times or so what a current BS typically has in HP. Motherships should be the same hp level as these new dreads with their current offensive capability, and same with titans.

It would be the best thing for the game. But CCP would never do it.
