"But nobody will use a titan to bridge into a system if there is even the tinest chance of them losing a fight, thus increasing the prevalence of massive blobbing at a 10:1 ratios and the horrible effect of forcing everyone to try and show up hours in advance to prevent being massacred while going through a gate which btw is an EXTREMELY unfun tactic." is a perfectly good counterargument. |

^^^^This^^^^
Adding risk is a good thing, adding it in a way that will completely prevent people from taking that risk is not. |

So imagine a world where you have to risk your titan in order to bridge. The argument many of you have put forward is that nobody would take that risk and titans would therefore become useless.
Here's my counter-argument. If titans became useless there would be a lot of characters stuck in useless ships. Nobody would want to buy the now useless ships so the only way to make use of those characters would be to use the titans regardless of the risk. The only risk would be losing the so-called "useless" titan, but how can it be a risk at all if the titan is "useless"? Once that idea catches on, everyone with a titan starts using it again. Suddenly titans aren't so useless after all...

That sort of circular argument will convince nobody.
It's not of great use, so I must lose it, therefore it should be used in situations where it is likely to die, instead of waiting for CCP to un-supernerf the ship class. Whut?
P.S. Titan pilots who get a titan do so with the understanding that they will likely always be used exclusively for the purpose, and to abandon all hope of using them for anything else. There is no drive to lose a 120 Bil isk ship in order to recover the use of a char worth 30-60 billion on the character Bazzar.
Titan's are frequently considered corp or alliance level assets, not personal. And regardless of the ownership or cost, the sheer value of one coupled with the moral boost of handing a titan kill to the enemy will still prevent them from being used casually.
As such, they will still only be used in situation where you can minimize the risk of using them. Like say bringing 2000 angry spastic neckbeards along with you whenever you need to move a titan into a combat situation, so that they may stomp everything in their path that might inconvenience or threaten the titan pilot.
But hey, blueing everything and superblobbing promotes "emergent content", right? |
