Okay... if you are already building Dreads, then you don't have to worry about spending billions on the components already in the game. Here is what's comming (rounded up):
Carriers
Capital Corporate Hangar Bay BPO - 1.7b Capital Ship Maintenance Bay BPO - 1.7b
Racial Carrier BPO - 1.1b
So, for 4.5b ISK, all you Dread builders can start building Carriers as well. (You might wanna pick up a second Cap Drone Bay BPO, tho...)
Motherships
Oh? You want to build Motherships too? Well, you'll need to get a Capital Clone Vat Bay BPO. Problem is, they are not on SiSi yet, but they will probably cost either 2.1 or 3.1b ISK based on the other BPO costs.
Racial Mothership BPO - 18.5b
Not too bad...
TITANS
Ready?
Capital Jump Bridge Array BPO - 3.1b Capital Doomsday Weapon Mount BPO - 2.1b
Titan BPO - 75 billion isk
That's right, kids! So, with the other component BPOs, the new ones and the mineral costs, it's about 150 billion and change from scratch to build yourself a One Shot Fleet Sweeper, and that's before you evern put guns or other 'stuff' on it.
Can I hear an EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME?! 
Oh man, I love this game!

In Terms of Titans it might acctually be better for entire alliances to buy BPCs from someone then to buy a BPO, considering that the build costs once you have the blueprint are probaply so high that you really don't need unlimited runs... Now you just need an investment company that puts out the 75 billions, then sells BPCs for 10-20 billions and it would probaply make some good money...

Ouch.
Tho with the titans ability to project a wormhole so a BS fleet can jump thru is a huge advantage.

yeah but the copy time is something 6 months for a single run of a titan with lvl 5 research skills. I do not expect there to be many BPC for this. Of course with lvl 5 skills it is also 6 months for 1 lvl of ME research and 9.5 months for one lvl of productivity lvl.
Yes the blue print really says 25 weeks 2 days 18 hours and 40 minutes for a single run copy or 1 ME lvl and 38 weeks for a lvl of productivity research.
That is unless they have changed it on the test server.

No they shouldn't. Titans should be an "event" in game not some throw-away battleship. Now go buy a dread and be happy.

Suuuuure... Then we'll see titans by the dozen in Jita and elsewhere one-shot-killing each other with their doomsday devices...
They're big alliance ships. Transpose this in a Star Wars universe... It would be stupid for every faction to have a Super Star Destroyer (like Lord Vader's Executor in EP5 and 6). These ships are for the largest, richest, most logistically-capable entities in the game.
These prices are fine. You're just vexed because you'll never have one. Nor will I. You were just fooling yourself with the "titan hype" you mentioned.
The only gripe I have with the whole thing is it caters to a tiny amount of players and they aren't really needed, as opposed to other things that should arguably be taken care of, but usually require entirely different resources (such as fixing the lag in fleet battles).
It's a bit like high-level content in grinding MMORPGs, but even this type of content is more easily accessible as it requires less grinding than titans require skill points.
But what we should do is just get over it and enjoy the sight when/if we ever see a live one in space.

Man you should read all what CCP decided and announced since EVE was launched. To be quick: Titans were announced during the beta and since, we heard hundreds of players just crying "CCP you promised us the titans, where are they ???"
No you will have titans in EVE universe, and you're one of the new crying kids.
Titans always were expected to be restricted to an elite (NPC: the big faction we all are coming from, and what is cool: players' corporations). The Titans were announced as flying things, doomed to fly over and over, unable to dock somewhere, and something able to change wars totally.
Now why are you crying ? You wanted a titan just for U as a kid wants a big yellow truck just for him ? Now, some of us, Player characters WILL HAVE access to them, if u're lucky maybe your way will cross the way of a titan one day, and that is the EVE universe: something so close to reality: your neighbour is richer than you, your neighbour is smarter than you and your neighbour will ship things you never will.
I'm glad to be apart of this adventure. I'll probably never ship something bigger than a freighter, but i don't give a damn, some others will do so and maybe I'll get the chance to view them once or twice, for free. Good luck to those who will try this adventure, fly safe !
And kids, stop crying : p

What would be real cool IMHO would be if Titans required multiple people to fly. ----

Considering that around 1.2-1.4 trillion ISK were spent on Capital Blueprings (Dreads, Freighters, Components) evewide, the Titan BPO price is high but reasonable. Not to mention that because of the skillrequirements the pilots still need some time to skill for them.

These ships are fleet support and mobile logistics center for large operations.
There might be few actual ships built and few players who pilot them, but hundreds are going to benefit from gang boosts they provide, and their abilities... while they're part of the fleet.

Still need time to train to fly them... You guys obviously didnt notice the outpost construction 5 requirement for the titan construction skill... As well as i beleive capital ship construction 5 for the motherships and titans i beleive...

I don't think they are too expensive. I think that a large alliance can build one in no time. I can't wait to see the first fleetbattle video with one being pounded on by 30 dreads.

Well I guess the real problem is that this is again a moneysink at the wrong end of the game. What really needs a money sink is the empire people who can make 10 billion of running missions and selling named items, not the alliances who already have to grind their butts off to finance their style of play because owning a galactic empire just doesn't seem to bring in any money...

For that price it deserves more hp than it has on sisi. For example amarr titan have 50k shield, 70k armour and 75k structure. Its lot, but risk is worth billions plus anything that is inside the titan.
