btw. anyone that can post the short version of the OP.
I will do my best so summarize the OP [I highly suggest reading the whole thing though]:
Originally by: Summary
A Titans inital cost is well out valued by the benefits it affords. Once you have a Titan it is faster and safer to produce your own and inversely more difficult for your enemy to build one. Both of these are due to a Titans unique abilities. (Note: I believe the larger two abilities are being able to jump bridge freighters and capital bowling).
With multiple Titans on one side of a conflict sub-capital ships would be unable to survive. If sub-capitals are that easy to kill they will become useless in all but extremely unique roles or smaller corp/gang PvP use. Dreads are the most useful ships for destroying POS's so they will become the most used fleet ship. Carriers will be used as jumpable freighters and fighter support. As electronic warfare is useless on capitals combat would slip down the evolutionary line. Eve falls apart due to the overly simplified, and boring, combat.
With pricey mods, a Titan can fire a doomsday device and have more than enough cap to cyno out in less than 20 seconds.
An unstoppable and undefeatable gate camping system, especially when using multiple bubbles. This pic describes it pretty well. The only way around this situation is to have your own Titan to jump bridge into the system.
Multiple cyno ships + multiple titans = the new mine field This could be applied to defense and offense.
Proposed solution, reducing the Doomsday effective area to 50KM and increasing the cool down timer to 3 hours.
Proposed solution, increasing the fuel cost of activating the doomsday. For example, activating a Doomsday costs as much in isotopes as a single fighter (isk wise).
Proposed solution, remove the supercapital warp scramble immunity and provide them an permanent +12 warp core strength. Also, make bubbles do 11 points of scrambling.
Proposed solution, make it impossible (or nearly impossible) to fit a cloaking device on a capital ship.
Proposed solution, rebalance the gang bonuses provided by Titans.
Proposed solution, remove the remote doomsday.
Again, this summary doesn't do justice to the work that the OP took. If you have the time read the original.

I finally got my sig nerfed once, I feel like a forum warrior! |
