Originally by: TheKiller8 Winning Eve isn't about being the first to get a Titan, it's about being the first to blow it up.
True. First person to get the Titan kill mail will likely plaster it all over the forums lol

First we had "I'm Spartacus"
Then we had "I'm Samuel L. Jackson"
Now we will have "I bought the Erebus BPO" -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Originally by: Wu'Buz Picture the scene, an alliance pilot goes and buys the titan BPO, and on the way back to 0.0, a lone pirate snipers the ship and blows the ship up, looting the BPO.
Surely he picked it up in a covert ops ship, and made the entire trip, there and back, cloaked at all times. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

If he's got half a brain. If not, he used a badger or some other T1 hauler. Oh, and didn't use instas.

Why would he use a HAULER for a BPO that takes up something like 0.1 m^3? I assume that if he wasn't smart/skilled enough to use a covert ops ship, he'd use an interceptor, or at worst, a shuttle. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Assumeing he had the skills for that, still, even tho its unlikly to happen, as it would take a bizzare set of circumstances.

Goonfleet.
Yes I know, laugh laugh laugh, keep laughing until a titan jumps into your system with 800 frigates in tow 
I think that would be the ultimate shocker to the EvE community  ________________________________________________

I wonder if CCP fixed that bug where you could use the Titan super weapon to destroy stations.
Hmmm.

all wrong....
it's the macrominers.. they haven't been e-baying it. they've been storing it all away like squirrels, that was step 1..
I know step 2 has something to do with underpants.

About eight weeks I think. You can probably shave that down to six weeks with skills.

And it costs tons to make, completely impractical to research; takes like 6 weeks just to research 1 ME level  ________________________________________________

Edited by: Lefia on 18/04/2006 05:10:02 With the skill reqs on those bad boys 6 weeks per ME level isn't that far off the mark. Especially to bring down the horrific wastage a ME 0 would bring.
BTW: Has anyone actually done the math on the total cost of producing a Titan?
Originally by: hired goon I agree with every point and counter point that has been brought up in this and every other argument ever had.

I didn't get an exact figure but I calculated it to be about mineral cost of producing 6300 tier 3 cruisers. The total cost in ISK would be a bit over fifty billion ISK I would wager.

Ok I did some really quick, and really rough math here.
Assuming, on average, each component takes 500,000 units of trit, that over 3 billion units tottal.
To put that into perspective, with a maxed out mining barge, it would take roughly 2 mounths mining veld to get that much trit. 24/7 mind you.
Disclaimer: I'm sleepy, and not certain I did the math right, could someone check for me.
