Uriel Paradisi Anteovnuecci Jovian Labs Jovian Enterprises 17278	Posted - 2015.03.02 01:12:03 - [1] - Quote Hello everyone! Uriel here with a drawing I decided to do yesterday of the Iapetan Titans of old after reading Jandice's article on them again. These monstrous beasts are many times larger and immensely more powerful than the second-generation titans we use today (called "promethean" titans), and are posessed only by the empires (save for Khanid's Imud Hubrau and Serpentis's Solteur, the FNS Molleneux). Here's the Image! Amarr Iapetan: Imud Hubrau There were two of these constructed, and according to the Titans chronicle it drained an entire moon of its resources to construct them. During his escape, King Khanid absconded with one of these two; the other is now rumored to be the "Emperor Ship". Second-Generation Imud Hubrau: These are the Iapetans the Amarr empire began to construct after the first two; they are reminiscent of the Promethean Amarr titan. Caldari Iapetan: Omnya Not much is known at all about this titan, save for the fact that it was constructed during the end of the Caldari-Gallente war in response to the Federation's creation of their own. Gallente Iapetan: Solteur This class was designed and constructed during the end of the Caldari-Gallente war; they were mainly used for deterrence. In more modern times, Serpentis CEO Salvador Sarpati successfully hijacked one of these Iapetans, dubbed the "Molleneaux", and escaped to Serpentis Prime. Additionally, the Federation was fully prepared to use their Solteur wing if the battle of Caldari Prime hadn't gone their way. Minmatar Iapetan: Leviathan (reimagined name: Precipice) The Minmatar Iapetans were mainly used by the Thukkers as mobile colonies (but don't doubt their defensive capabilities!). The Gallente shared the technology and designs necessary with the Minmatar early on, leading to these; however, they required a massive amount of resources, prompting the Minmatar to be the first empire to invest in creating the smaller Titans we capsuleers make use of. I was trying to create a more modern take on the old Titans (I mean, just look at the old omnya), and I included the Promethean titans (look for them near their respective Iapetans!)- I'm in high hopes that they'll make an appearance once more in the future, especially given Falcon's revelation, and I would be massively excited if they returned Cheers!

If so You might want to take a look at this mockup I've made That wreckage is under /res/dx9/model/worldobject/omnya in the game files- it's the last thing in the game that shows anything about the Iapetans. I took it and compared it to the image of the in-game model it had a long time ago, and it matches a small part of it near-perfectly. So looking at that, the size of what I drew isn't far-fetched at all!

You could fit a few countries in there. Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

AOSA Atreidun Order 4	Posted - 2015.03.02 13:13:20 - [15] - Quote That is an awesome sketch. A long time ago I drew up some concept art for similarly sized warships which I called Planetary Destroyers and Super Planetary Destroyers, mainly to indicate there size rather than function, though their armaments could easily serve such a purpose. I can't find a good scan of them anyway though.. :-/

Darren Airtex Born Imperialism 9	Posted - 2015.03.02 13:43:49 - [17] - Quote Imud Hubrau meaning "Beast of Heaven" Soltuer meaning "Sun Slayer" The Jovian had 3 mammoth motherships that pre-date modern space travel. Titans had such mind-boggling mass that smaller ships would get caught in the gravity bow-wave they created. There is a record of a Titan that moved into the orbit of planet Goral causing shifts in the planetary patterns causing the flooding of farmlands and the decrease in food production, the entire system almost starved. Since then the Titans had fail-safes installed, preventing them from getting to close to a planet.

Human ships back then were fully man and with the galaxy being full before eve, bigger ships = more people needed. At this point in out current galaxy Eve does not have the crowding problem the home galaxy had, and fighters these days prefer much small ships, so even if something was built along those lines it'll be another glories yacht with guns.

Titan length protruding pylons? Frontal part doesn't even makes sense. It looks more like an oversized BS than a super-capital.
Caiman Graystock Confederation Navy Research Epsilon Fleet 46	Posted - 2015.03.02 17:06:00 - [22] - Quote Surely the scale canGÇÖt be right? The time and resources needed to build ships on that scale would be obscene... and then for them to just disappear and not be used? Where are they? (from a lore POV). One thing I suppose is ships of that size lend some credibility to reports of them having severe affects on planets when getting too close, which was always a confusing statement when linked to the current 20km~ titans.

There aren't many (as far as we know) and presumably the empires keep them close to hand, otherwise you end like the gallente and handing out free mega-titans to the serpentis. According to the lore as well, they require materials of an entire moon to create and vast amounts of time. Vast amounts being vague enough for you to fill in the blanks with a believable amount. Also, not too unlike capsulaeer titans, they tend to act as deterrants rather then front-line ships (see the gallente deployment of their titans as a back up for the Caldari Prime battle).

This is probably the one you tried to find: Present Pieces No idea what Skymother is, but could be an Iapetan Titan if you puzzle together the clues. So far, the Miamatar (Thukker) Iapetan Titans differ from the others in that they seem to be built more as a colossal city in space rather than being weapons of war (they're still a formidable powerhouse tho) Regarding the Jove Titans, they are few in number (3 confirmed) and actually tiny, compared to our capsuleer titans (Jove Titans are 4 km across) Read more about the Jove Motherships (actual name) in their evelopedia article. Last bit of advice, I've delved deep into the Titan lore & had to go digging into the very archeological depths of internet itself for certain screenshots & info. In other words, Iapetan lore hasn't been looked into a very long time, so if CCP ever decides to do something with them again ingame, there will be undoubtedly things that differ from what they used to be. Latest Iapetan action was in a newsarticle where the Gallente federation readied it's Soltueurs in a border military exersize prior to the Caldari Prime battle. That said, I'm a supporter of letting the Iapetan Titans keep their current air of mystery as long as CCP feels it's needed.

d0cTeR9 Astro Technologies SpaceMonkey's Alliance 101	Posted - 2015.03.26 00:18:54 - [30] - Quote If anyone actually bother reading the lore, you will see references of the original titans being multiple times larger than our current titans. The cost was so astronomical in nearly bankrupted entire races, and the sizes were so massive that entire planets were affected by their gravity pull. The current titans were built because they were small, cheap and MUCH more practical. Also the Jove's have 3 motherships that are supposedly more powerful and MUCh smaller.... Think of the, as current Titan size motherships with a MUCH better doomsday on it... ;)

The only other reference to it comes from the end of Templar One where it's alluded to that the Sky Mother is "in trouble". Earlier in the book, General Kintreb mentions that New Eden is "dead" to the Elders and his comment implies some long term plan for the Minmatar or perhaps certain tribes to leave. That Roden was in the end having to game info on Sky Mother out of Shakor also suggests that the vast funds provided by the Federation are being appropriated for this project. Long ago there was a thread on Hive Ships that had popularity. New space in wormholes and maybe for New Eden and Hive ships with changes to supers would certainly prevent the introduction of new space in the prospect of player built gates to be met with more than "meh, blue donut expands. back to grinding".

Exploring how the ships function with all of this available to them would be hugely interesting. Also I'd just like to point out that if that size comparison in the OP is accurate, then a Iapetan Titan almost stretch the radius of a grid (around 220-230 KM in length for the one pictured) and the size is roughly equivalent to if the US launched Vermont into orbit! If one crashed into an earth-like planet the back half would still be in space! It wouldn't even fit on this chart!

IIRC there was a ccp run event where players fought Salvador Sarapati in a Solteuter but failed to blow him up. Why Can't I have a picture signature. Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

This should happen again maybe start rolling through Sov owned Null sec clearing stations/pos's This would 1: be pretty awesome to see 2: help reduce capital ships in new eden.. ( 1/2 huge titans wrecking systems so you launch a supercap/titan fleet to fight it ending in a pile of super caps = less in game super caps) 3: reduce the amount of sov some alliance/coalitions hold 4: Be awesome to see

I've been talking to CCP t0rfifrans about putting together another book similar to EVE: Source and EVE: The Art Of New Eden that focuses solely on ships from a technical standpoint. Titans would definitely be part of that. Can you create one of the titans to actually exist in the game that will slowly move by higsec space. This is extra work for you , but just looking on something like this in game is worth to wait. Capital Remote AID Rebalance Way to solve important nullsec issue. CSM members do your work.

People with simple taste respond to quantity only, adoring the 'get more for less' marketing ploy, which is really just the rattling of a stick in a swill bucket. Confirming there is no spaceship so large or powerful that someone won't imagine one twice as large. Y'know, these are a confirmed thing in the lore- not my own creation. And I don't want any player to ever get one- they're for the empires A live event with these would be a blast To Confirm: trying to talk smack to Uriel on the Lore is a bad idea. UGH it's not smack talk, your interest in HURR TEH BIGGEST SHIPS EVAR is my point. Goggles. Making me look good. Making you look good.

Titans would definitely be part of that. There has to be exploded views/cross sections. Could be like "Incredible Cross-Sections" Eve style! Those kind of drawings would take a while, but maybe do the books in 5 installments, one for each empire and a 5th for pirates and other factions. Not every ship has to be exploded either, just do one drawing for every T1 ship class and have illustrations with technical descriptions for other T1s and T2s. Like do a cross-section of Merlin for example and then have a photo with exterior technical descriptions of a Hawks, follow up on the opposite page with smaller drawing of other frigates: Kestrel, Bantam, Kitsune, Manticore, etc.
Tara Vorkosigan The Scope Gallente Federation 51	Posted - 2015.04.28 17:02:37 - [56] - Quote Honestly, the people saying they want to fight one of these are NUTS. In the lore, the drive wake from these things was enough to destabilize the orbit of planets. I can't help but feel like any Capsuleer grade capital ship would just get smashed like a bug on a windshield before it even got close.
