Allow me to rectify his point with the logic you need in order to process.
Pros: You'll be able to do the few specialized things you need to do as only a Titan owner can.
Cons: You wont be able to do anything else with that character ever again. |

dont fly what you cant afford to lose. If you don't have the ability to get a new one, you just wasted a year of training. You don't get into a titan with the bare minimum, if you aren't a 5/5/5 titan you might as well not fly one. |

Titans don't die outside of bridge/jump errors, so unless you're stupid or drunk, or want a BLT, you won't ever die.

Guess again. I seem to remember a certain PL titan that was caught in Rancer while smartbombing the gate, and killed. The kill-mail must be around somewhere... of course the pilot denies it and says he was "in the middle of changing his fit". Yeah I can confirm all capital pilots put smart-bombs in the highs while changing fits. |

Pro side:
They fit multiple roles
Command Ship extreme
Structure Bashing with Titans isn't quite as cruel and unusual (even without the DDO)
They can run LOL Spider Logistics when you have several of them.
Jump Bridge
Down side
You can never leave it unless you train 2 Titan books.
Extreme ISK sink on your wallet.
Skills required to fly it right are unimaginable.
I have DDO 4, Capital repair 4, capital Energy weapons 4, Capital remote Armor, Shield, energy and Hull 4 and I still don't feel right about logging in with an Avatar.
My Ideal Skills to get an Avatar Titan?
Capital Energy Turret 5
Capital Repair 5
DDO 5
Amarr Titan 5
Capital remote Armor 5
Capital Energy Transfer 5
Capital Shield transfer 5
Captal Remote Hull 4
All Leadership skills to 5

I was on the test server yesterday when 3 NC titans arrived and began shooting up the combat zones. Apparently, titans can insta-blap subcaps even with the capital-weapon penalties. Someone brought in a Revenant and it got blapped to.

TItans are generally helpful only to an alliance.
Ratting in one is a bad idea.
Flying one solo is a bad idea.
They cant be blap fit anymore, so no more solopwn.
Once it is known you have one, EVERYONE watchlists you.
Once you are watchlisted EVERYONE knows when you log on, people will find you.
When people find you, they will learn your habits.
You will eventually get trapped and killed.
You can never dock it, so your character is trapped unless you have a holder alt.
They are about 80-100bil to fully fit.
Their jump range sucks hard.
People will travel across the game map to get on your killmail.
Their use:
Bridging people to make traveling suck less.
Bridging people to hotdrop. Stops working after a while.
Dropping in large, supported gangs to destroy SOV infrastructure.
Like others have said, if you have to ask what to use them for, you do not need one.
The reasons are because they are one of the most specialized ships in the game. You don't just decide to fly a titan like you decide if you want to rat in a Raven or a Dominix. They are a massive investment and a great strategic asset. If you want to get one to derp around in solo then you are wasting your time, and will probably end up as a hilarious loss mail. |

Titans sounded cool before I actually started playing this game. And when I realized what they were used for you COULD NOT EVEN AT GUN POINT make me train for that ******* space coffin, much less invest the time required to pay for it.
Delete titans from the game, introduce a cheaper, specialized ship or object that's just for strategic jumps, and re-work sov warfare so they aren't needed to shoot structures in a non-suicidal fashion. The game, especially null/sov warfare, will be better for it. |
