Awww, where did the big bad fleet touch you? Hotdrops are just about the only fun available in nullsec. Hey I know, cyno-jam your system if you're afraid of hot drops. Or take it as a given that sometimes when you go in and blob that 10 man gang with your 40 man fleet, once in a while someone will light a cyno and you'll be blobbed by a 200 man fleet. Welcome to nullsec.

Not really, because that just means that Alliance X with 50 titans can still bridge a million ships onto you, while Alliance Y with only one titan can only bridge 10 ships at a time. Decided advantage to mega-alliance. Still.
At least if a small alliance manages finally to get 50 people online and in a fleet, please don't punish them on top of that by limiting their options because they can only afford the one titan. You'd be playing into the hands of the mega-alliance that has at least 200 ppl in fleet and 10 titans online at any one time. Might as well play Goonswarm Online. Or maybe that was the point.... |

1) make bridging only usuable from outside a pos shield.
and/or
2) make the titan automatically jump behind the bridge when it closes.
you wanna use your bling... risk your bling
CCP ate my post. Thanks CCP. Shoddy programming is not just limited to in-game. |

You have to figure out how to fight it,
Misha.
Except, the way to fight it now is to figure out the passwords to the enemy POS and bump it out. Because titans are rarely put at risk. The fly from POS to POS and are only outside the shield for the time it takes to move from the jump beacon to the shield bubble.
The only time a titan or ten are only put at risk is when an alliance is absolutely sure of overwhelming force. Yeah. Figure out how to fight that.
I don't agree with nerfing hot drop quantity. Let the titan project power, that's what it's for. But I do agree with making titans more vulnerable. They should not be allowed to POS up. |

@Misha: No, the rules of quoting are quite clear and explained to everyone in high schools around the world. I did not change the meaning of what you said, and thus I am free to cut the quote wherever I want. |

Let the titan project power, that's what it's for. But I do agree with making titans more vulnerable. They should not be allowed to POS up. Doesn't anyone have any kind of strategic ability at all? So lure it out - give the titan a target. Give your enemy a reason to bring it out, and set a trap. This is why you fail at titaning - it has nothing to do with the mechanics.
It won't come. Titans simply are not used that way. They are roving taxis and placed into combat only when the pilot is absolutely sure of overwhelming force. In fact there are very few alliances that drop titans on targets, and they usually do so ten at a time, along with supercarriers, dreads and triage carriers. Not one titan at a time.
I still argue that it's not the bridging that needs to be nerfed. Bridging is fun, being hotdropped is fun (after you get past the initial butt-hurt), and it keeps the game fluid. It's the damned titans lurking in POSes all the time that need to be nerfed. |
