The parking issue originates from the fact that there is so much ISK floating around that individuals and/or small corporations can now afford them.
Needs to be changed, Titans supposed to be rare, as of not rare like a faction BS, rare as of 20ish in the whole Universe.
Imo, crank the Titan production time/effort 200-400% up so only alliance effort pilot-wise and resource-wise will get Titan up. Make it more industrial-backbone dependant then fund-dependant.
Wont make them as rare as you want.
say each of the huge alliances builds there 1-3 titans, now you have your 20 in the whole game. And there are say 5 alliances with the infrastructure to build them, if they have the resources to keep those facilityÆs running they will do so, a year latter they each have 10-20 titans. If the alliance doesnÆt have the resources but the head of one of the corps in the alliance dose then the alliance will probably let him use there facilityÆs after all its another titan in the alliance even if it is privately owned by an alliance member,
the only way to keep the number of titans low indefinitely would be to make them require a token component that will only spawn when (titans in game + tokens in game)<20
this is a bad idea as within a year one alliance will have all the titans because they will go to war with anybody else that has one, or is known to have a token and wont sell.
It is the nature of the game world that anything that can be produced will exist in ever increasing numbers.
CONCORD Titan Ownership Taxes: CTOT.
From xx-xx-xxxx a new bill has been passed by Galactic leaders in co-operation with the CONCORD foundation.
Bill 10452a.1 has been set up in response to the ever growing threat of so called 'Titan' supercapitalclass ships being produced en masse in the lawless spaces of 'null sec'.
CONCORD began its pleads for supercapital taxes about 3 months ago, after a disturbing intelligence report from one of their deep undercover agents residing in null sec.
The report supposedly brought to their [CONCORD's] attention an alarming increase in super capitals owned by both large, established and small, volatile alliances and 0.0 powerblocks.
While CONCORD, in agreement with the four major factions, does not usually interfere with low security or zero security space they are aware that the proven threat of increased instability of 'non-empire' space might eventually overflow into CONCORD controlled space.
As a pre-emptive strike against certain doom CONCORD has been authorised by the supreme galactic counsil to enforce a monthly tax onto corporations possessing super-capitals in an attempt to push down super-capital stockpiling and production.
The tax will not only make it more expensive to (continue to) own a super-capital class ship but due to this CONCORD hopes to be able to keep track of every super-capital flying pilot.
The announcement has stirred up great commotion amongst capsuleers belonging to super-capital holding corporations and/or alliances.
Many claim CONCORD simply does not have the manpower to enforce their tax onto pilots residing deep in 0.0 space, which as quoted by an annonymous protestant is "outside of their bloody juristiction".
Empire dwellers belief that eventually the 0.0 'scum' will have to fall in line, as CONCORD has the backing of the supreme galactic counsil and they can, if deemed necessary, employ the full force of the four empire's navies to quell 'those war-mongering scoundrels'.
This reporter wonders wether they all forgot why the bill was passed in the first place, but who am I to complain. War sells.
Back to you in the studio Jason.
