Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2006.04.06 23:22:00 - [1] Edited by: Ortu Konsinni on 06/04/2006 23:23:12 Carriers are already pretty common, we know there is at least a handful of motherships out there, but what about titans? I've been meaning to ask for a while. By "own" I mean obviously 1) own and 2) able to fly. If you know for sure, feel free to post who owns it and/or what type of titan it is, etc. (unless you'd rather not say, for security reasons and all that jazz, or whatever). If you don't know for sure and you're like "well I saw one in a video and I think it was on TQ" or "hey I heard that my friend's friend's friend's corp/alliance/cult has one", well, that doesn't count. Personally I can't imagine someone having all the skills to fly one yet, but maybe I'm blowing the skill reqs out of proportion. --- High quality pics of ALL EVE ships!
J'val Iktar	Posted - 2006.04.06 23:31:00 - [2] I think the Serpentis owns one.
Jin Entres	Posted - 2006.04.06 23:53:00 - [3] I just checked the skill requirements out of interest and to pilot it, a dread pilot needs only Capital Ships V which is a rank 14 skill and therefore takes 3.584 M SP from zero to five (obviously most pilots have this at 3 or 4 already). With relatively good attributes of say 22 and 22, it would take approximately 75 days and 10 hours. However, what good is a titan without it's toys? Exactly. And well, luckily the most fun toy, the Doomsday weapon requires only Energy Pulse Weapons V, which is a rank 2 skill and therefore amounts to less than or close to 10 days. For Clone Vat Bay I you only need the skill Cloning Facility Operation I (rank 10), nothing more in excess of dread prerequisites. Jump Portal Generator I? Here's the big annoyance. You need Jump Portal Generation V, which is a rank 14 skill (another 75 days...) and Astrometrics V. But hey, if you just want the titan to mark some doomsdays in your calendar it won't take long! ...getting one built is another matter, of course.

Brutal skill training run there. Oh well, never had any illusions about piloting those titans. Carriers and dreads are quite enough.

Zekk Pacus	Posted - 2006.04.07 01:24:00 - [8] Scuttlebut says BoB have one cooking, but then people have been saying that for ages. It's theoretically possible that an alliance with the assets of BoB could build one, but do they want to? Unlikely. Every alliance that's hostile with BoB would be trying their hardest to blow it up. Which could actually lead to the best fleet fights /ever/, with wave after wave of dreadnaught joining the fight as the superweapon is used. Added to that the fact that with the /brutal/ skill reqs there can't be more than one, maybe two players who could theoretically have trained them since they came out, and even then I don't know as they'd be able to do all the support stuff that really would make a titan so useful. When one of the major alliances actually has a Titan you'll know. They'll either bring it into a fleet fight and BBQWTFPWN a major fleet of hostiles, or do an e-peen waving forum post.

Actually the waves of dreads would most likely show up before it was finished to take down the starbase it was under construction at. With a 6 week build time, it'd be hard to hide that level of activity from the map.

Torquemanda Corteaz	Posted - 2006.04.07 04:45:00 - [19] The first 2 motherships were built last week. Don't quote me on this, but I would imagine someone will have a titan built quite a while before someone can actually pilot it

Right. The downside is that I would never be able to leave it -> I'd have to train both me and an alt to fly it. Plus I want it in Amarr, but I highly doubt that the GMs would transfer it there But yeah it will be the uber mining op using titan and dread. So nice! EVE-Files \| EVE-Search \| Monitor this Thread

Miss Overlord	Posted - 2006.04.07 10:58:00 - [30] inside info says BOB are in the early stages of building one hence their raids on other capital ship builders trust etc - knowing bob they will increase PVP raids across eve esp if they suspect someone is building one to (well except FIX) so unless the major alliacnes team up now and launch a pre emtpive remove BOB from delve strike then BOB will own one first (ASCN and or FE-FIX will be up next)

I posted the question, y'know. :) Right, so, on the topic of motherships, that TRUST rep said the first two came out of the factories last week, so does that bring the total to 3 so far (BoB's Caldari Championship Wyvern, that Nyx we saw in BWF and that other mothership TRUST mentioned) ? --- High quality pics of ALL EVE ships!
Chronus26	Posted - 2006.04.07 11:45:00 - [32] well, from what I heard: A) A titan Cannot dock - Fair enough, it's as big as a station anyway. b) A Titan will not dissapear once the pilot logs off like other ships do. - If this is true, An alliance would need to have a Pilot flying it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This would then mean that they would need quite a number of people able to pilot the Titan effectivly, this is kind of another obsitacle the Alliance would have to overcome, ontop of the hefty Mineral requirements and keeping it safe during the building. That's only if what I heard was true though... ----- Time for a new sig...

Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.04.07 21:12:00 - [39] The biggest drawback I can see to have a Titan is you can never really have anything less than a fleet guarding it at all times. POSes are not invincible and I doubt they will be just because a Titan is parked in it. Even if someone smaller managed to build it...all the powerful alliances would campaign to destroy it, making it more of a liability than an asset. And if one of the powerful alliances built one...they would use it to stop more from being built. So there can only be one Titan...unless the others can keep it hidden...which defeats the point of building one. ~Victory is the weakness of the enemy. Industrial Giants

Kaell Meynn	Posted - 2006.04.07 22:15:00 - [42] Not if you actually plan to use it. Rather than just threaten to use it. The Titan Doomsday isn't like nuclear weapons or anything where it renders the land usless to everyone. It's just a really frikin big gun. I'm fairly confident someone (not BoB) has one, but just didn't make a flashy announcement about it.

The key is to build several POSes that can hold a titan, and just put the titan in one of them and move it around. __________________________________________________ Quote: Hyenrg1 > i am down for light spankings but nothing crazy.

Raem Civrie	Posted - 2006.04.08 02:57:00 - [55] You can't repackage a titan at all, I think... unless you can repackage ships inside the arrays, which I admittedly have never used. But according to the stats, one capital ship array can hold... one titan, and very little else. And based on the packaged/assembled ratio on battleships, one freighter could barely hold a packaged titan. --- Chairman of the Ice Mining Guild

Ashvul	Posted - 2006.04.14 01:53:00 - [59] It is extremely easy to find out if anyone is building a titan: 1. open people and places 2. select corporation from the dropdown menu 3. type in amarr navy, caldari navy, federation navy, and republic fleet 4. view market activity for each navy If the titan blueprints are not listed under there, that means none have been sold. the amarr, caldari, and minmatar superweapons, as well as a jump portal blueprint has been sold, so it looks like either some people are preparing, or they made some mistakes.
Drakus Felborne	Posted - 2006.04.14 04:45:00 - [60] After the epic griefing of Trust, I can't imagine anybody knowing of a titan's construction except the pilot and the guy with one in the manufacturing slot of a solo-launched POS. If what happened to Trust is the risk of building the newest cap ships, why would anyone bother trying to build one now, unless it's a total secret, even from the rest of an alliance? That little news article nearly lost my accounts. I wanted to be a manufacturer of the biggest and best. But not anymore.

I would have to agree, since aparently you would have to somehow build up so large a fleet and static defences just to guard the shipyards in the first place that people will notice whats going on no matter what and thats even before you buy the bp and other items and start the build process. ------------------------------------------------------------ Irealyneedtoburnoffthat12packofredbullIjustdrankinonesetting If your too paranoid to play Eve, your not paranoid enough to play Eve
Krb686	Posted - 2006.05.21 14:31:00 - [62] Well I just did a little research on jus exactly what it takes to build the titan and these stats seem impossible... Aside from the year of training it would take for someone to fly it, just to build one would take another year... Now...if your going to build the whole thing from scratch, hen you'll obviously need all of the blueprints for the capital ship parts....total cost=24,065,962,400 After that, you'll have to mine for another two years to get all of the minerals...ive only calculated the tritanium at the moment but for all of the parts it comes out to just over 3.2 billion tritanium Anyways, assuming your going to buy capital parts, then it'll cost 50 billion (All these prices are for the Leviathan)
Krb686	Posted - 2006.05.21 14:34:00 - [63] Someone tell me if i'm doing this right..... it says on the leviathan in the database that, for example, the capital propulsion engine takes 411,345 tritanium...now is that to build just 1 unit? or all 100 units listed there? if it is to build just 1 unit then yes it'll take around 3.2 billion tritanium but hopefully it isn't

Gerdan BloodELF	Posted - 2006.05.21 14:51:00 - [66] The mining for it wouldnt be the problem truth be told. As a member of a Heavy Industrial corp we can mine entire 0.0 belts out in 3 hours. Thats all the ore from the Merxocit down to the Veld. Its that if you wanted to build it you would be putting nearly 100 BILLION of assets in one POS. Thats 2, maybe 3 weeks of solid alliance effort. Which then makes you pick - do you guard it 24/7 in a one way in system or do you just act casual and hope that you dont have a spy in your inner circle.
