did anyone sit to think what happens when an alliance/group of people has 3-4 titans?
Ever thought what happens to a group of dreads when they get hit by 3-4 superweapons simultaneously?

Originally by: xlop a fleet of titans would indeed be a massive drain on any allaince, but it can be done and probably will be done
the reason is, once you have 15 titans you have total security
allaince A decides to take over your space, after some time they need to start attacking your POS, with many dreads in siege mode. that gives u an opertunity to cyno the 15-20 titans in, warp a frig to the pos and open up a cyno at the pos. then 15-20 doomsdays sent in and instapop the sieged dreads. it would basicly make taking POS down extreamly hard and very risky!
as for the price of a titan, once you have the bpo and pos and all that, each extra one only cots about 60bil isk.
i think any superweapon that can wipe out a fleet of dreads is probably going to do the same to the pos they are attacking. -=Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds=- |

I was completely unaware of the fact that lately, POSes have about the same amount of "modified hitpoints" as a Dread in siege mode... sheesh. __ Always question everything. Including yourself. |

Reinforced mode ftw. I would stick my pos in reinforced to wipe out 15-20 dreads + support. ______________________________________________

Originally by: Torquemanda Corteaz Edited by: Torquemanda Corteaz on 08/10/2006 13:57:23 what i dont get is how ASCN got people to do alll that hauling and allll that mining without any of the chars putting two and two together and realising what they were contributing to?
anyway back to mining all that veld cos the corp said they needed it!
Well TBH I believe the news story was wrong...why because when I was in ASCN I knew EXACTLY what I was mining for. I wasn't in no high up position either, just a general grunt. The only thing I didn't know was where it was being built or when it was avalable.
As for the hauling...I'm betting the pos's that built the titan were in a system with a outpost for minimal hauling and max security. Freighters took the mins to the outpost and a selected group of haulers (who knew what they were hauling for, but were highly trusted by leadership and sworn to secrecy) hauled all the **** to the pos's. Then out comes titan a bit later.
Oh and I'm betting that wether another alliance gets the 2nd titan or not, ASCN will have another out soon, because when all the corps were mining for the titan, the general info was that we were mining enough mins for 2 titans.

If people really want to know who built the first titan(s), I would suggest you see red.
The russians are sneaky, y'know.

yes, but would it take 3 cyno fields or could they all manage to trigger at once? Would it be worth the rick of one not firing to use only one cyno field?

OR they could just send one suicide cyno friggie after the other OR they'd just fire all together and not care about timing because it takes 15-20 secs for the weapon to go off.
It's really details, isn't it? The whole point is that 3-4 active titans make any 50%+ pos'ed up system of a mediocre alliance practically unsiegable, or siegable at a terrible cost (like 100x more expensive to the attacker).

Well now that the first Titan has taken to the field I would be curious to hear about the ins and outs of how it works.
I've read posts of people complaining that properly tanked battleships can tank the superweapon. Others saying that on the test servers whenever someone brought out a Titan in a fleet battle it was instantly declared primary and never lasted long enough for anyone to really see what it could do.
One other thought, can you insure Titans and Motherships since they can't dock at an NPC station? RL "My front door is Gate Camped" |
