Heh, I bet it'll be BoB. Their e-Peen is hurting now that ASCN have got one first, they need to reclaim their Super Alliance Awesome EVE Winners title that has been so cruelly snatched away

I was surprised it wasn't BoB who got there first, but I know very little about current aliance politics. I thought the whole stomping-on-Titan-builders thing was so that they could get there first. Was it just that ASCN have a bigger industrial base?

I think it was ascn keeping fairly quiet and so avoiding stompage.

the first titan is always the hardest :P
so methinks ascn will have the second titan and perhaps a third titan before any of the others
but imo whats really important is to see who gets the first fleet of titans, which ever allaince gets 15-20titans first will definitly control most of 0.0 until another allaince also gets a fleet of titans
so why would anyone want 15-20titans? how does insta pop dreads in siege sound? no one will be able to take down your POS or at lest without risking 20dreads doing it

Titan v Titan combat would be very interesting; the ultimate question is, now that the biggest ship in EVE has been built...
What now? Variations on a theme, using the same hull designs? New tiers of Titans, capitals, and normal ships that might come from the battles of Kali, perhaps even obsoleting the older versions? Or new tech levels?
Trying to stay on topic, ASCN and BoB are the two superpowers atm. If it wasn't for the war, both of them would be assured to build the next one, but factoring that in, I suppose the non-superpower alliances could have a chance, like LV, D2...

edit : Or a pvp titan.
Example amarr t2 titan :
20 highslots 8 medslot (lolz) 20 lowslots lol
However, ship can only use guns guns guns and not much else. Imagine, seeing this very very very very big ship shooting dusins of laser beams out in all directions!

w-hat?
at most I can see someone wanting all 4 types of titans so you could stack all their bonuses together during fleet ops. Just park them in a POS and let the incredible bonuses benefit your entire gang.
But 15-20 per alliance? I think you need to check the mineral requirements for a titan again.

I doubt you'll see more then say 4 or 5 titans per alliance.. Anything bigger then that is just too much of a resource drain. And if they're anything like the ones on test months ago. 10-15 bs's can take them down reasonably fast..
They WOULD be great for invadeing eachothers territory, or for when the new regions open up.
And like someone suggested. Havieng one of each with their bonus's overlapping would REALLY sway the tide in some battles.

Gah do people not get it? That is a role played announcement. It is what the RP in game ISD media or whatever you want to call them know, not what CCP know from doing out of game server queries.
If the player's don't know, if it is not announced or spoken about by players to ISD representatives, then it is not ISD's business to reveal alliances secrets by looking at CCP's database.
News announcements of this kind are no different to what players already know, or at least what can be read on the forums or find out from being there.
This doesn't mean BoB do or don't have a Titan, it just means that it's stupid to use it as proof that they or anyone else doesn't. I haven't read Oveur's post from the thread, so perhaps it's worded differently and does indeed provide proof that ASCN's is the only Titan in game, but if so I would be dissapointed. - - - - - - - - - -

Will be very interesting to see who's getting the next titan out of the factory's.
An interesting new ship i think either an ship with cloaking bubble which allows to cloak an gang within 15km untill someone activates guns / targets a player like with normal cloak except this can keep your support hidden and lure out an response. Another idea an ship with metamorph capability which makes you look like an frigate or an innocent roid for anyone till they get to close or you start takeing actions (weapons cause disruptions in the field etc) 
Id rather see some special buildings which can be deployed anywhere except with stargates, roid fields, deadspace etc. Buildings like boosting arrays which could take for example cap batteries for cap recharge and other stuff for shield, armor and hull repair and maybe even deployables like the npc towers (sentry, missile, cap suckers and webbers / jammers) which are very weak ones though and need an special mod on the ship to activate (command ship option? or any ship?).

Indeed. If BoB, or any other entity, had built the first Titan wanting to keep it a secret, then CCP would have respected that.

I do not think we will see fleets of titians anytime soon.
15 titians would cost about 60 billion per titian, thats 900 billion there.
900 billion
will get you 400 over Dreads or 600 over carriers, in terms of raw deployment of power, its not as effective to have 15 titians. Holding on to several hundread captial ships, can project more power and hurt more people for the same money. The main draw back is the logistics required to support it.

from what i heard, they were close, but it got popped before it could be completed... or was that someone else.
either way, if BoB had one, we'd know about it, they'd be slapping ASCN left right and centre with it.
however, i'd put my money on BoB getting the next one... that said, with them distracted by the war, ASCN might be able to begin the construction of a second one (since they appear to have had the biggest industrial base). ========================================== Iy |

For those of you doubting that alliances will build fleets of Titans. Look what happened with Dreads. Did anyone guess that alliances and even single corporations, would own 30+ Dreads? Hell no.
Titans will be even worse, because as pointed out they offer total security when used properly and in large enough numbers. Being stuck in the Titan is the least of one's worries tbh - its an advantage. All the Titans will be on alts or mains of the trusted leaders and them never leaving it will mean it cannot be stolen. And remote cyno bombing will mean the chance of them dieing is...minimal at best.

Oh yes, 400 Dreads. 400 Dreads will need 400 pilots though, and 15 Titans only need 15. Would you rather have a fleet of 15 Titans and 385 Battleships, or 400 Dreads and no support whatsoever? Because VERY few alliances are capable of fielding 400 ships alltogether, including tech1 frigs and whatever.
Oh, and give me an Interdictor and 50 Battleships versus that 400 Dread fleet and ill *****it.

I won't pretend to know whether the ASCN titan was first or not. I have heard plenty of claims that it is not but since no one can really prove either way argueing it is a little silly. As far as I know though BoB hasn't claimed to have built one yet. All they've said is someone else did.
Saying that CCP stated this was first is proof is rather silly. Hypothetically lets say someone else did build one first. Obviously they don't want this fact know (see Great Southern War for a reason why). Now since they don't want this known, logic would dictate that they don't care about being given credit for the first titan. Since ASCN announced the first Titan they will get the credit since the first builder gave up this right. It would be rather irresponsible of CCP to even hint that someone had a Titan in this situation since the real first builder doesn't want to be known.
It's simple. CCP can't really say who built the first one. How would you feel if you spent months hiding this huge project just to have CCP tell everyone? CCP also can't tell ASCN, "Congragulations but an unknown party already built one." That'd be almost as bad and plain silly. ASCN announced it first, they get credit. Whether it is true or not doesn't matter. This is what history will see.

if it was not the first, they would not of posted well done for being the first. they would of just not said anything
hope that makes sense, and its proof enough that they where the first and there are probably not any other titans ingame atm.

no, if acsn did not have the first titan, CCP would not have posted anything, there was no need to if that was the fact
but ccp did post, and they did say it was the first.

well, obviously you care, since you continue to argue. there was arguably a need to post, because if they had revealed the existance of a titan that the owners didn't want revealed, directly or indirectly, it would have a rather severe effect on the game, which they try to avoid.
you cannot know what they would or would not do, nor what there was or was not a need for, unless you are them.

why are people still arguing the titan point?
Don't you believe SirMolle when he said "when really dont have a titan really, sorry!" you think it was a lie and the secretly do have one in hiding and they built it first but are hiding it?
look in the alliances forum, they made a thread detailing the siege of Tpar-g and let everyone know about the salughter of 76-1 battleships against ASCN a few days back (which is a great achievement btw, not trying to take that away from you)
so the idea that BoB would keep the first titan secret is a bit silly, it would be very out of character. It's a titan a massive massive achievement why would anyone keep it quiet?

Silence is about the worst option CCP has. This was a major news item, CCP could not simply ignore it. Silence would sent two messages to the player base, either someone has a titan already or CCP no longer cares about what happens in EVE. Both of which are not really good option.
But as I said (if some people would actually read before responding ), ASCN announced it first so it doesn't really matter who built the first one. It might have been ASCN, it might not have been. They will get credit for being first.

/me shakes head
1st) The report means that ASCN requested the post and partially provided the text. This in NO way means it was the first titan build attempt or first completed titan.
2nd) Declaring to the world that you have a titan negates the surprise element, which can easily get you no less than 100 kills in 1 second.
I consider ASCN announcement a huge mistake, but maybe it was forced since you can't exactly keep secrets down there.
The fact is that we will have to wait a looooong time till we can say for sure who tried/built the first titan.

Untill theres reports of cyno fields exploding in areas other than ASCN territory then trying to diminish ASCNs achievement will fail. Just quit it. Your name does not contain a W and a shrub. Hell even your leaders have axnowlaged it so goddam stop it. you are just poaring the rest of the comminuty to death eith it rather than shooting them to death. Get back to what you can actually do. Ok?
And yes CCP would keep quiet if the people involved asked them to. No they would not lie when someome else comes out with one. They would simply say they could not do that

Originally by: Marnix For those of you doubting that alliances will build fleets of Titans. Look what happened with Dreads. Did anyone guess that alliances and even single corporations, would own 30+ Dreads? Hell no.
Yeah, except you know, Dreadnoughts are actually useful and titans are entirely pointless without the cloning bays and jump hole module.
The only reason anyone would ever want more than the 4 titans (for the bonuses) would be if they stacked, which I seriously doubt.

Originally by: evistin I do not think we will see fleets of titians anytime soon.
15 titians would cost about 60 billion per titian, thats 900 billion there.
900 billion
will get you 400 over Dreads or 600 over carriers, in terms of raw deployment of power, its not as effective to have 15 titians. Holding on to several hundread captial ships, can project more power and hurt more people for the same money. The main draw back is the logistics required to support it.
so by your measure and reasoning maybe we should all stay flying frigates? If we are talking isk value and relative numbers of pilots?

Well its more about the abilty to project power, frigates can't Battleships fleets can, but a few captial ships is all that is needed.

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.

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" |
