if you don't know why you need one; then you don't need one.

Allow me to rectify his point with the logic you need in order to process.

Pros: You'll be able to do the things you need to do when you own a Titan.

Cons: You wont be able to do anything else with that character ever again.

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.

yes, please oh please camp a gate with a titan

but the BLT was worth it, so i hear.

You misunderstand their use I think.

You, or say you and your corp of 10 -20 guys probably wouldn't ever care about a titan.

Its pros are really only seen when invovled in alliance level operations where you have other titans as back up, along with a respectable cap and or supercap fleet around you.

In that case they provide the EVE equivilant of Air Superiority, hostile caps are subject to Doomsdays and Dread levels of DPS output from EACH titan, their huge hitpoints and Ewar immunities give them the ability to command fleets unmolested by the little things raging in the batlte around them. Thier portal allows for sub cap force projection in even hostil territory and they have a cavernous Ship Maintenance array that can move huge numbers of ships around with them ( I think I have about 35-40 ships in my titan right now).

The downside to all that is that when on your own you are sorely vulnerable. You can't really hurt subcaps much on your own after the changes earlier in the year, and that you are stuck inside that magnificent beast. They require huge amounts of fuel that your average small corp or solo player will never really comfortably be able to sustain (refuling my titan is about 700k isotopes, during a busy month that could be an order I put in once a week), and the fittings and implants they take to survive the hostile situations they get put in start at around 10 billion and go up from there.




When I first started I saw a picture of a Leviathan and plugged its skillpath into EVEmon....the result was around 2 years of skill training, and the loss of the alt i put in the titan for anything other than piloting the titan.

As a titan pilot I can promise you that you have time to think about what you're going to do to yourself, spend that time seeing the game, see if you like it and i f you could see yourself picking up a secondary alt that you would try to put in the titan, and then start the long uphill climb to amassing the 100ish billion you'll need for your purchase.
