I'd take it as most news articles about alliances in eve. Absolute BS unless you see someone screaming about it on the fourms. No titans have been built on TQ to date. The only thing that may refer to is a forum discussion about who may be building a titan, in which someone went a little crazy and tried to start a mass campaign to get everyone to attack those producing titans.

Only titan ever flown in eve have been piloted by event crew/devs. There have beens some events in the past including a titan. Think it ended up being stolen by some npc pirate group. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and this is why you get your titan with Onstar, so it can be tracked down in the event of theft.

Wikis are generally accurate as long as people actually read them.
I don't see many people reading the EVE Online article, so its most likely some idiot wrote it and nobody bothered to fix it.

the only thing i can ever seem close as a titan blew up it can be the G or iron Pos that bob blow the other day, (and THIS is just theorical)
The video that show those 2 huge structures (again i think those can be the capital construction arrays) maybe lend someone to tought there was a build in titan and bob blow it up.....
just my 2 isk (i doubt seriously that if any alliance still owns a titan lost it) the EGO of any major alliance about i blew that can't be stopped so easy =) -------------------Sig----------------------- S.S.E. currently recruiting new players. Convo me or leave an eve-mail.

I believe the bit about one corporation attempting to build a titan only to be set upon by an alliance of other corps is a nod to the current situation in EC.
Which frankly if true, makes the whole thing more Delicious.

Good wikis are incredibly effective. For example, Wikipedia has 33% fewer errors than Britannica, yet is totally free and has information on a far wider variety of topics.
Many non-encylopedic organizations use wikis as a place to put information and FAQs.
Trolls? Their "work" gets deleted, and the trolls banned, generally.

Edited by: Mr Floppyknickers on 04/04/2006 00:15:17 If it's true that no titans have been flown on TQ by players then what about SISI? I only ask because there was a video on eve-files of someone using a minnie titan's superweapon on a POS both inside and outside of the shield. I believe the video was titles titan_vs_pos or some similar variation. In the video the titan didn't harm anything while inside or outside of the shield. (at least it had large scrolling letters claiming such)
Was this mearly a dev video someone edited or could someone on TQ or SISI actually be fiddling around with a minnie titan?

It was on Sisi, no player has actually flown a Titan on TQ.
If I remember my backstory correctly far who NPC wise actually have titans...
Jove: 3 Serps: 1 Thrukker: 1 Amarr: 1 (unless they've built more since Khanid stole one) Khanid: 1 Minmatar: (not a clue, I'm gonna guess they have one) Caldari: 1 (its never started directly, but the picture for the titan Chronicle is a caldari looking titan so I'll give it to them) Gallente: 1 afaik, though it might have been two, just can't remember how many they said they had total when the Serps ran off with one

Well maybe in kali some spying is in order if the game really opens up more than that. But if i remember the Gallente have 4 or 5 and serpentis stole one.
Edit. And if you were to fight them with your own titans you would probably get pwnd... CCP really should look into beefing up the player titans and motherships.. Since the NPC titans have almost the same hps that a large POS have.

Jove Empire: 2 titans Jove rogue general hiding down in the south: 1 Titan (+ fleet). The Gallente Federation lost a nearly finished Titan to the Serpentis who ran off with it.
No (player piloted) titan has been destroyed on tranquility to my knowledge. The Amarr Not-an-Empire lost a titan or two in the war against the Jovians.
All main factions own a titan or three (for special events).
The entry in the wiki has been mostly correct. --*=*=*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

Of course. Then someone will go to the page history and revert it, and then they can refer the IP who did that editing to the admins, who can ban him for life if he does it again.
Wikipedia works by assuming everyone is a valid contributor. If they're not... no more contributing 
Originally by: Wee Dave From my experience working with the Eve article on Wikipedia, a lot of the contributors are ex-players and not terribly happy with the game. It shows.
Wikipedia has an NPOV policy. This means that articles should never be written soley by the fanboys of a particular game, simply because that would be extremely biased. The best way to do it is to have as many sides as possible work on an article, to force them to agree on something in the middle.

Edited by: Aeina Caeraen on 04/04/2006 08:55:47 The thing about Wikipedia is that one can revert a topic to previously saved version, and this can be done all the way to article creation, the changes are never deleted except by GMs, and even then, the deleted versions can generally still be recovered. I think someone did a study on Wikipedia and found that incorrect or just plain troll changes were reverted within, on average, ~5 minutes.
