Ok, from what I recall a doomsday weapon do about 67k damage(IIRC)
Dreads can tank this no problem, without breaking a sweat...yet they cost less than 1/100 of the titan.
Thoughts?
Good point, they should reduce the cooldown on the doomsday to 30 seconds to compensate... or you could realize that a single doomsday should not be powerful enough to wipe out the strongest tanking ships in the game.

In otherwords the doomsday weapon shouldnt be called doomsday because it isnt. And no, Im not talking about insta popping dreadnaughts here.
How many dreads would be needed to kill a 150 billion isk ship?
Would take alot of dreads since they'd be hammering through a death star POS to try and get at the titan

1, but THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING SHIPS!!!
Yet they have a weapon thats supposed to be the most feared weapons of them all!1111elleventhousand!
The beauty of the weapon though is that they don't have to be there to do the dmg, they just dial it in with a cyno.

The titan does have to be in-system to use it though. which means it would have to jump into a "CYNO FIELD HERE" at the system at which point it could easily be roasted coming in. but still people just don't get that it's not a combat ship.
Hence the POS :), in addition to being a logistics ship (huge gang bonuses, clone vat, jump portal) it's an amazing defensive tool. If someone is assaulting a POS they have their support fleet out of range of guns usually and cap ship activity is common, so they could in one swoop eliminate the support fleets leaving some vulneralble dreads.

So what you're saying is that you mainly object to the name.
...
No, what im saying is that I mainly object to the description
I think you are missing the point completely. Its not about titans being the ultimate win button, its isk vs isk.
Isk vs Isk? What about AFs and T1 cruisers then? You can't compare things solely on the costs.
