I know this isnĘt working now, but perhaps it would be a great thing to add? That you can dock smaller ships in to a Titan or a dreadnought. And when ure docked ure just, parked. I mean, if you can carry empty ships. Why not be avible to carry ships with players in em :P? And then launch em all in to a clan fight , or something like that.

seem logic, maybe a bit overpowered compared to the design of the ship (i mean what it's role is ingame) ___________________________________________ Humans take everything that is beautiful and sweet and turn it into something horrifying and ugly.

he means dock ships inside the ship, not the ship docking in a station

Ah rite 
When the titan was first announced I actually was hoping that you could dock in the titan. Was a bit disappointed when you couldnt. Would be very nice though. Imagine the titan would have a fitting array fitted, so you can refit. And maybe the clone vat bay so you can jump to the titan and get a ship there...
Could be nice feature.
Maybe an other super capital ship which can have these features, no DD, no fighters, nothing else then the ability to store ships and equipment. Like a mobile station... --------

i am still hopeing that one day a carrier will be realy a carrier where people can actualy dock, with a "station-like" enviroment fitting screen etc. And that your able to carry the around (well like carriers used to do) and jump around systems. I would not care if they would take the fighters away for that feature. (but then i want some kind of FLAK-turret )
oh well dreams ....dreams....

As cool as it would be, I think the main thing stopping CCP from doing it is that it will be almost impossible for them to implement. It would be a station that moves about, jumps, warps, etc. I don't actually know much about it, but it seems like it might be quite hard to do.

I was *really* disappointed when the titan turned out to be un... in... dockable. Probably some technical problem about docking inside a pilotable vessel. However, that's why I think it should be possible to anchor the titan. Kinda like a titan siege mode, only lasting a whole lot longer than the siege/triage. ----

It could be that CCP doesn't want to have to deal with more brick walls questions like: What happens if the Dread/titan player lose connexion? What if the docked player want to stay docked and the Titan player want to undock him? The reverse? lag bombs when undocking large quantities of ships?
It could also be exploited as giving a BS fleet more mobility with a dread moving around, than the devs want that fleet to have.
------------------------------------------ A big nuke may be nice in a strategy game, but something like this in a game where every unit is a player, and each death costly, is insane. |

how about if it were only acting as a station while "anchored" by a planet or moon? the rest of the time it would be a normal ship. that way you cant just warp in and let loose 20 battleships.

Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

I still think titans should be anchorable, like a POS. Once anchored:
- They'd remain in place even when the pilot was not online
- They'd act as an outpost with docking, repair facilities, clone bays, etc...
- They'd go into reinforced if attacked
- They'd act as jumpgates (just like any other jump gate)
- They'd allow for the dooms day device (doomsday would only work while anchored)
Friendly pilots would be able to undock just like anyone else. If the titan was attacked it would go into reinforced if the shield dropped to a certain level. If it was destroyed everything inside would have a chance to be destroyed as well.
I think these changes would give titans a much more interesting role in the game while making them potentially more vulnerable at the same time.

I like the idea, but it would kill the entire concept of outposts, in my opinion. But a titan should be an outpost in my opinion.

No manufacturing or research, easier to kill than an outpost, limited number of available jumpclones, limited hangar (albeit larger than it is currently).
Also an idea is to require the person using the anchored titan to jump (to either another anchored titan, or a POS with a bridge) to have the fuel required on-board. ----

Anybody remember "Titans are not the ultimate combat ship - for that you should look at a dreadnought." swiftly followed by the non-transcribed "Oh SNAP, how about a grid-wide smartbomb for the titan? Much easier than all of this useful logistics mumbojumbo we suggested earlier."?
Yeah, I was hopeful too. |

50K Damage over 1 hour results in approximately the DPS of a T1 frigate actually. Not quite the "ultimate combat ship," hehe

That argument doesnt work as all 50k damage is dealt at once and can hit as many targets as there are within the DD's effect radius.
Not to mention its actually over 50k damage including the skills :P

DPS doesn't matter when it's an unavoidable 50k damage in one hit. Anything that's not a BS or bigger tanked for the sole purpose of surviving a hit like that will get owned. ________________________________________________

I think it's more down to technical problems than anything. Simple example: you dock at the titan and the pilot logs/ctds and the titan vanishes. What happens to you?
It's trying to make sure you catch all those possible situations so people don't get stuck or worse and implement a solution that doesn't cause a major headache for the people involved that's the main thing.

Give EVE a baseship, limited station features like docking, fitting, cloning, triage mode to rep people up and ability to deploy a PoS shield :P
Would not be very mobile though, you'd have to deploy it first which is like it's initial siege mode, allows people to use it, would have a long set time like 30mins atleast, then it could have the option to triage for repping, repping can't occur inside the shield though.
Probably too complicated and crazy but meh :P
