I can't blame BoB for working hard and focusing their assets into big-ticket items such as titans.
That being said, the Titan is both an amazing tactical tool and the end to decent 0.0 warfare.
I've always thought the doomsday was pretty cool, but after I got over the novelty factor it really does create a conundrum for the average Eve player.
While it takes a while to wind up, unless specifically set up to tank a specific DD, any fleet that isn't a cap fleet gets wasted by a DD, let alone 5.
Add to that the fact that normal warfare methods don't work with Supercapitals. Bubbles get popped by Smartbombs, or by the DD itself.
If this is the road that CCP wants to go down, within six months we are going to see the virtual end to fleet combat in Battleships and below, Fleet battles will likely be performed in Dreads, Carriers, Motherships and Titans.
I know the probable answer is "Boohoo, get more titans", but I think that there needs to be some sort of achilles heel attached to Titans in general, which makes them less of a pwnmobile.
For instance, make activating a DD like lighting off a cyno, no jumping or warping for 10 minutes.
I think that in itself will make people think very carefully about how they employ their Titan, and enable an enemy force to extract a little retribution from their attacker.
I do understand that a Titan is a massive investment, and with such an investment there should be a huge return.
The jump bridge and the DD are that return, but for the good of the future of this game some changes need to be made before things get even more out of hand.

Good point, like the 10 min jump timer actually.

As I said in the sticky...
An alliance letting off DD devices every 15 minutes, is the death-knell of PvP.

In my opinion (and thats all it is btw) the titans create a better 0.0 environment due to the fact that the winner of a battle is not necessarily who can flood a system with more people than the other. My questions to the people that think its unfair that bob now has (well maybe) 5 titans is, why didn't you stop them? Why don't you build you own? Why the hell is an alt posting this damn topic again? And finally, OMG Who said tribbles!?  ------------------------------------------------------------------

Five titans now, 30 titans in a year's time, if not before.
40 dreads attacking your POS? doesnt' matter, send in 5 different cyno ships, one after the other, with remote DD activation. if 5 isn't enough, use 10
basically, destroy cap fleets just like that

And then in a year bob alliance will have 20 titans, mc will have 10, AAA will have 5 etc.
You'll jump into someone's space to find a fight and the first ship you see drops a cyno and you get DD'ed.
Fleet fights will just be who DD's the other fleet first... Oh no wait, fleet fights are like that ALREADY.
I'm sure by then our devs will have slapped themselves on the forehead and realized that they've ruined Eve.
Titans = SWG's Jedis anyone?
Thankfully pirates of the burning sea has kinda open pvp, maybe they'll even have a joining offer for "eve refugees" when Eve has been sufficiently ruined by everyone having titans.

you should lead by example and not log on again. the world of EVE would be a slightly better, far less boring place without you

Originally by: R0ot why didn't you stop them?
Someone ran the Math. A Titan, with officer mods and rigs, has enough cap to DD and cyno out instantly. Moreover, it would take something like 84 nos fitted battleships to keep it's cap regen low enough to prevent it from jumping.
Unless of course, you wait for the pilot to log off.
Originally by: R0ot Why don't you build you own?
People have a habit of bringing 1500 or so pilots to the system where a Titan is being built. CCP limit the node, the fight becomes unfair. Either way you potentially loose a ship to unstable servers.

I haven't logged in seriously for the past month, maybe longer. *waves to alliance mates*
Partly due to work commitments. But mainly due to the fact that PvP isn't fun at the moment:
- Login to Eve
- Form a fleet, wait 2 hours, sit at gate
- Jump in, loose ship to lag/doomsday device

Lol if you 2 like titans so much, why don't you join bob alliance?
Maybe if you behave well and fulfill the "overweight & has an office job" requirement, they will let you fly one of their 20 titans in 1 year.

this man speaks the truth.... BOB will have 10 titans before we know it... casual gamers anyone?... we once had a 7 man BS fleet doomsday'd.. what a joke.
Titans should have been harder to build, fleets of titans are silly.
