So you think its good to have an invulnerable ship in the game? Perhaps they should release polaris frigates too?
Thats not what I said. When it comes to Dreads/Carriers and lower, getting to build one is a matter of sitting in a station and putting up buy orders.
With MS/Titans there is much more effort and risk involved. In fact the manufacturing process is so vulnerable that the easiest way to stop one is to knock a POS making one into reinforced mode. Once the shipyard is offline, all raw materials are lost and they have to start from scratch again.
I am just curious as to what will make you happy. These ships take huge amounts of things you can't put a price on, like risk and man-hours. If there is a way to kill them that requires 100 Dreads will that make people happy or will they still protest?
You're dodging the question. It doesn't matter how much anything costs, or how much work it takes to kill it. If there is an invulnerable ship in a PvP game then there is something seriously broken.
What would make me happy? I'd be happy if Chowdown couldn't come into our home system in his dread ALONE, deploy a large mobile medium warp disruptor, and SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT while he shoots at us, and then jump out of the system as soon as we warp enough ships in to pose any sort of a threat to him. He knows he can't be killed, and he's flaunting it, blatently. Good for him, bad for eve. It needs fixing.

Let me rephrase what you are saying:
Chowdown cannot be killed By YOU . You dont have a big enough capital fleet or the tactical nous to achieve it. You are a 2-bit pirate corp that is ****ed that, despite the invulnarability afforded by NPC stations in 0.0, something can basically kick your ass back to the stoneage. You wouldnt understand community investment in a project like the titan if it kicked you in the teeth.
If he is sufficiently cautious it will be difficult for ANYONE to kill him, but how is this at all different from... say, a cloaked recon? As long as it only ever attacks in very safe situations, it will never die. The same goes for the titan, only there are more safe situations. There are still MANY in which chow would not risk the titan: jumping directly onto an enemy dread fleet in a lagging system, jumping into a 200 man camp, etc etc.
