Of course if they can use that super weapon from a POS you'll have a severe problem. An interdictor could lock down the fleet as it jumps in while a second ship erects a cyno field at the gate. Then wait for it.. boom. All this while the Titan sits comfortably in the safety of his POS.

I wonder how ships would hand two cosecutive Super weapon detonations. Not from one Titan but from two.

I ask this as a simple peon :
Which Fleetcommander will send his fleet into a region where the suddendeath waits?
Are Titans something similiar to the nuclear-weapon-threat of the real world?
Is the amount of work to get such a behemoth so enormous, that those involved will quit eve totally depressed, after endless Mining Ops for the bigger goal?
almost the same goes for Carriers and motherships, where is the fun in this?
whine whine , i know, but cant we all just fight the old fashioned way ?
Or at least give me some enlightenement, how this will go on.
I forsee the first use of a Titan to have great success for the users.
I forsee the second battle for that ship to be its last, as it gets taken down by the Dread fleet assembled to smite it.
Titans are pretty nice, but their defense seems abit lacking, andif someone ever brings on to the front lines they'd better pray the doomsday weapon kills that enemy fleet, because it'll become primary to everyone, and all the Caldari ships will hammer away at it from outside WMD range.

The Titan's Doomsday device is the least of its abilities.
The ability to move your whole fleet the span of the galaxy without the use of jump gates is way better than dealing out ~50K single-type dmg to an entire grid (which can only be done once an hour).
Also, Titans are parked at a POS when pilot is not logged in.
CAn we have a link that confirms that the damage from a Doomsday is indeed Grid wide? That would make them extremely dangerous
The blast radius was 40km from what I've read about them.
If it now hits the entire grid that's pretty insane.

afaik the doomsday wep has a 250km rage
and well nothing relly to be sacred of because 10 dreads in seige mode aganst a titan = one very dead isk hole
titains can't use seige mod and have bugger all hps for a ship of its size
really should be 10x the amount of hp it has now
Haha can't touch this! |

To be honest though, Titans SHOULD destroy entire fleet. Call it a blob-buster. If clumping all your ships in a tiny formation will get you killed, maybe people won't do it.

Their super weapons are only insta-kill on cruisers and below. Some HACs can survive the blasts (armour implanted pilot in a Zealot needs about 70-80% resist in order to survive a level 5 Titan blast, not counting leakage - this is without counting plates!), battlecruisers can be setup to survive, and battleships need to get some armour redundancy in order to prevent leakage to hull.
And that, my friend, is why you bring two :)

I am not a fan of titans and i doubt they are the I WIN button ppl want them to be BUT:
Loads of people in here keep talking about stuff like: 40 BS will take down a titan quite quick and stuff like that.
Why do you guys assume titans would be used solo?
If you face 40 BS + Titan + carrier support with your own blob you`ll have a hard time.
Sure you can focus fire on the titan but then you can watch your fleet melt. 
Be sure that noone will pull out a titan without some serious support.
A titan filled with centum gear should be able to tankq uite well. Will it tank 40 BS - no it wont. Will the enemy fleet commander be dumb enough to concentrate all his forepower on the titan while his fleet is under heavy attack by an enourmous support feet. IMO - no!
