I had always long to be in a titan or supercarrier that in fact was my final end game goal to the point that if I had the isk I could run either right now......
After watching the giant battle I was realized just how boring that would be...
I just watched one of the most boring battles ive seen in awhile which is a shame because it could have, should been so much more.
You had over 500 CAPITALS on the field at once. 15 titans, 182 supers, 250+ carriers, 100+ dreads, and over 500 subcaps on the same grid....
Instead of being a glorious battle it was a slow moving blob....
FC calls target... everyone fires at target x super//carrier//dread. Ship dies. Next target in line gets killed.
Even without the TiDi at 10% I don't think it would have been that much better....
Where's the tactics, the excitement, the enjoyment of a big capital space battle???
After seeing what actually happens when you have an amount of isk that in real world dollars could easily buy a fairly nice car that took years of total player time to build you can have it....
I just can't see the fun in flying a super or titan anymore....
Side Note: Alt.... I am quite happy in null sec currently doing skirmishes.. |

There used to be tactics involved in flying supercaps, but then CCP removed them

When your in a big or even medium scale battle it is a rush.
Watching a video does not get close.

The fight would have been much more interesting, and moved much faster if it was in null with all the DD's going off. |

Also Bubbles to make everyone stick around.
Anyway, I had quite a bit of fun whoring on Caps and Titans in my bomber.

"A Goonswarm op led by Dabigredboat went haywire in Asakai in Black Rise tonight when the titan jumped instead of bridged, and was promptly pounced by a PL supercap group."
"Update: A third CFC Titan, which had disconnected and blackscreened, has died; the total number of dead supercarriers on the CFC side is estimated to be approximately ~5 but it's not certain yet."
I consider that quite tragic as well....

Not to mention that buying one makes your character useless until the supers are needed for a fleet so if your not in a fleet your character is just baby sitting. Although I still think it would be cool to be one of the people flying a cap over someone flying a Maelstrom or something.
DUST514 isn't on PC because CCP wants 2 different communities influencing each other, not people tabbing out to give themselves Orbital Strikes. (Also they don't want to cannibalise their existing playerbase) |

Often videos you see are mega zoomed out to show you the scale of the fight however they're not very exciting. You just have to go on youtube to see that most eve fleet battles when viewed externally are quite boring. What adds excitement when you're actually there is.............well you're actually there. Things actually matter to the person who is in that capital ship shooting at other capital ships. Your in the situation, with your alliance mates on teamspeak. Furthermore calling primaries is a tactic.......so blame CCP for not making gameplay look like a trailer and not having unupgraded server systems where local rises above jita numbers. |

"I didn't have billions of isk in assets on the line so this battle was boring."
Quite frankly, watching any sort of eve combat you're not involved in is boring (the alliance tournament might squeak past since they try really hard to make it interesting) that's why they don't use actual gameplay in any of their eve ads. |

I've seen plenty of interesting PvP videos... they all involve ships BC size or less though.

there are people whos main fun of game is watching "ISK destroyed" on killboard.
normal people will never understand them. 
PS: in 0.0 blob wars "ISK destroyed" is the most exiting thing about battle. |

End doesn't have any fixed end game, and you haven't been paying attention if you think that getting into a supercap is it.
Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

Agree with OP. If this is meant to represent a large scale war battle then....I am not interested.
If you found this interesting (I watched the battle for 2 hours) then you're used to getting **** on.
This had to be one of the most boring, mindless blobfests I have ever seen.
Shame on your for thinking this was awesome.

Been in a lot of large fleets, sometimes had fun but the only one I've ever had a real blast, was on "Diplomatic disaster operation-shoot blues, tell Vile Rat"
That evening, playing Eve was fantastic.
