Actually, killing a titan would take only a few minutes with a sizeable fleet. That's the window of opportunity you need to create.
And yes, that's entirely possible.
The main problem is keeping it from jumping out. You can prevent it from warping by using dictors. (place bubble outside smarty range). You can prevent it from jumping by a number of ways, or a combination of those.
The main things stopping that from happening are the lack of titans to kill, and the remote DD ability.
As for periods of immobility, that'd be silly tbh. Titans are actually quite vulnerable once immobilised. I've been involved in killing two, and both died extremely fast once immobilised. One tanked a bit, one didn't, both died in no time.
Forcing a titan to wait minutes before a DD blast makes the DD useless. Forcing one to wait minutes after it will result in a dead titan eight out of ten times you use it against an even barely competent enemy.
So, in conclusion, no, the main reason they don't die in higher numbers are the facts that they arent around in those numbers and the fact that those that are around hardly get used at all, let alone in direct contact with an enemy fleet (exceptions noted).

Edited by: Rod Blaine on 23/03/2007 19:27:44 Multiple titans would sure be extremely hard to deal with for any non-capital fleet.
I'm equally sure CCP will adapt mechanics where needed if that scenario becomes reality. The number one nerf that I'd guess to be likely is removal of the remote DD abilty. Once titans need to be in place to DD, there's comprehensive risk involved. Up to the point where there are enough in a single system to be able to DD often enough to close down the interval to less then the time practically needed to kill a titan.
I'd start worrying when we ourselves see reason to criticise the power of titans, as we have by far the most extensive experience in using them and dealing with them proactively. Once we see no more room for dealing with them, it becomes a problem. In the mean time, any enemy is very welcome to deploy their titans against us as they are now and put our ability to adapt ourselves to the test.

Actually the D2 guy logged in dutring the killage, so yes, we know. We also own two titans, you'd not imagine we test how much it'd take to kill them ?
titans at this point are fine in my book, altho the cap use issue is a valid point and it could do with a reduction to cynoing out right after dd use is no longer possible.
Immobilising them for ten miutes is nuts tho. It's not balance, it's certain death.

Tanked dreads, assuming faction hardening and armor implants on a revelation (most common dread), that would come down to an amount of titans required that we are not going to see in one place at the same time for at least another year.

If in one year and army of Titans is one-shotting dreads to death, then Titans are still broken. They are in fact more broken, because it means someone's been able to build them non-stop and no-one has actually been able to kill any of the Titans currently in service.
Correct.
Titans will be changed before that happens, IF it ever happens. [center] Old blog |

Again, unless you know who has them, how theyre being used, and what the current best counters being employed are, please stfu about titans and learn.
Titans are already used in direct combat. [center] Old blog |

Edited by: Rod Blaine on 24/03/2007 17:02:32 BS sieging a POS is silly anyway. You don't need a titan to vapourize your eneemy in that case.
Oh, and as to remote dd being needed, thats rubbish. Again, please stfu unless you've actually been involved in fights involving titans.

Hey BoB. Support BS'es are used in POS warfare. And the "PLZ STFU" is exactly the reason Eve wants you gone. This is a discussion forum not troll the hell out of anyone because they want to talk about a popular topic forum.
So what if I or anyone else doesn't have a clue? Let people roll around in their ignorance without screaming "STFU STFU Noooob" at everyone. Or hell continue to troll.

If you want to talk about titans it helps when you know how they actually work. So far, every second post in this thread contains assumptions or assertions that are simply wrong.
BS fleets aren't used to siege pos's much. BS's are used to support dreads sieging pos's. That's two wholly different scenarios.
As for you wanting us gone, big deal, we're not going anywhere.
