I agree with the 10 minute jump timer. Right now, if you fill a titan up with cap mods, you can jump in, let off a DD, and jump out before a single top-skilled scanprobe can even finish.
Titans don't have to be made weaker per se; they have to be made more vulnerable, which of course forces their owners to be more cautious, rendering them overall weaker as a result.

Originally by: Phrixus Zephyr There is not way anyone can win anything, ever. Even if you add 'no jumping for 10 minutes'.
If any titan is ever in trouble one of the others just jumps in and DD'd whatever is causing the problem. That one misses too? How about the third, fourth, fifth? Oh and its been and hour, the first can DD again.
Even if you made it once per day they would just never use them till they absolutly need it or have your fleet pinned.
DD's are the single most stupid feature ever to make it into Eve. Titans were supposed to be moving stations, not weapons of mass destruction.
CCP you've succesfully broken your game.
A capital ship fleet can easily kill a titan if the titan is rooted for 10, 20, 30 minutes. This will force whoever owns the titan to keep its own capital fleet within a short distance in case a titan gets attacked. This will vastly limit the range and power projection abilities of their titans.

All that does is perpetuate the continuous move to caps and supercaps.
Honestly I don't think non-capital-ships can be expected to take out a titan simply due to the DD.
I do agree that titans should not be able to cloak, however.

Originally by: James Lyrus Let me be the first to welcome our new BoB overlords... (wait, didn't I do this in a goony thread the other day...)
Even if BoB built 10 of them, that still doesn't make titans easy or cheap to build. I mean, seriously, the number of components involved, especially if you acutally used haulers to move 'em rather than freighters... that alone's some serious effort.
Motherships and Titans, _are_ difficult, and expensive to build. Cranking them out? Well, I'm impressed. I mean, consider for a moment, what kind of level of income that actually implies?
Titans need a little work still, but they're still not even remotely cost effective.
Considering them exploiting the bugged blood raider complexes for quite some time that income is a non-factor.
You mean the complexes that I reported as bugged and were removed from the game only a week after the bug was introduced, so that they've gotten zero income from them for weeks now, as compared to RA which is earning 60-100 billion a day from its complexes?

Curious to know how many tens of billions of isk were made in the meantime or did you hand it all back as you knew they were bugged?
I reported it on the first day I found about the bug. It was removed the next day.

Originally by: Agnst They are getting 0 income from those plexes in delve, but farming them every day right after DT... ye... spare us dude, please.
I don't know if CCP added them back in yet, but the last time I flew to one of the "complexes", there was nothing there

Originally by: Royaldo where is the ra titans? they a pawning all the plex's ingame, and not built 1 single titan??
The top dozen or so people in RA have quit their real-life jobs to "play" EVE. They are earning twice as much money now, roughly, as they did in their previous jobs. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out how

that's a pretty bold thing to say...
Proof or STFU?
Knowing some Russians and former RA members, I would be pretty confident in my information 
Do you really think the ISK simply disappears? If they spent it all in-game, they would have a fleet of Titans already.
And here I was thinking this was already public knowledge. Are people really trying this hard to deceive themselves?
Another thing; did you know that many of the top brass in RA don't actually do much running of complexes? They give EVE accounts to other Russians/Eastern Europeans and have them run the complexes for them in return for paying for their account. They refer to them informally as "slaves" and often have dozens of them running complexes on shifts.

And if you had a spine, youd keep your comments about in game, and keep **** like this between yourself and CCP.
So making public ISK sellers is "spineless"? 
Did I strike a nerve, or did you buy your capital ships from IGE?

When you start bringing **** about peoples real life onto the boards, because you cannot handle dealing with them with your space ships...
Yeah, it does strick a nerve. Cowards **** me off.
It isn't my fault that people connect EVE with real life by selling the ISK they earn in-game 
It is never, ever cowardly to make public cheaters, whether they are allies or enemies, or whether their cheating is in-game, out-of-game, or both.

Originally by: Dark Shikari So players are not allowed to mention cheating and ISK selling? We're supposed to pretend it doesn't exist?
On CAOD, one would think YES.
You might think yes. I think most other people have things called "morals" and would disagree.
Originally by: Gnulpie Shut up with your ugly racism here!
If you have any proof, go to CCP. But obviously you have none at all. And speaking about cheaters, look at yourself and your 'friends' BoB first before you accuse anyone else.
Racism?! What the heck are you talking about? Are you trying to take the spotlight off your cheating friends by making random accusations of racism? The reason the Russians co-opt eastern Europeans and other Russians is because they speak the same language, silly! It has nothing to do with "race"; its simple common sense.
On the topic of BoB, did you even read my post? Are you blind?

Now, without even knowing me, youre questioning my morals?
Youre a weak weak man, almost weak as your argument.
Yes, I am questioning your morals, because you're saying that we should pretend that cheating doesn't happen and cover it up.

Originally by: Karunel TBH I don't think this is the place to talk about certain things, DS.
Probably not. People can believe what they want. There's no point in going further.
I apologize for venting here. Its just that playing EVE is very depressing when one knows this is going on and nothing is being done about it. Every once in a while the pot just boils over.

Originally by: Gungankllr I would greatly appreciate it if the moderation team would not lock this thread and instead give some unofficial coaching to those people that are trying ever so hard to get it locked for some odd reason.
Look folks, while I understand that this thread started as a quasi-alt post noting the construction of a fifth titan, I believe it's become quite a bit more than that to many concerned pilots.
Complexes and Slaves really has nothing to do with what we are talking about right now.
Right now we are talking about checks and balances, and how there is an anomoly in the makeup of eve that is potentially a game-killer.
When the opposing team has the ball on your five yard line, arguing about what kind of beer is being drunk in the parking lot is stupid.
I agree. I am going to delete my posts to try to get the thread back on topic. This is not an attempt at deleting my opinion; it'll still be on EVE-search.
It would help if the others involved in the somewhat off-topic argument did the same.
