Why do you want a titan so bad?
Honestly bigger ships really are not all they are juiced up to be. (try flying one across EVE sometime... - might as well take a day and do nothing but fly)
Oh let me guess, your in a BS, can't think of anything worth doing, so you want to get into a bigger badder ship...
edit: EVE filter didn't like a word

Hey I'm all up for some titan's out and about. I know you truely won't see them around that much but I'd love to beable to fly one sometime.
I mean if u want to move a couple ships or a crapload of minerals that is your ticket of doing so. Besides having what 8 high, 8 med, and 8 low slots what else would you want?
Just for some numbers at stock cargo size, at least of the titan I took recent pictures of (Thx TomB) it has still 500k cargo hold. In other words 50million in mineral units can be moved easily around the place which is very nice. For instance if your out in a 0.0 region and don't want to protect people mining veld, scor, plag, etc that u can find in empire space well the answer is a titan that can deliver large amounts of minerals in 1 trip. Besides its faster then any indy in the game with a base speed of 250m/s when I saw it.

The reasons why u dont see titans are easy. FIRST eve has yet to figure out what the hell it is doing with CASTOR which has been like a tech 2 upgrade for CCP which is a royal pain in the butt. Second they would not do u anygood as thier aint enough ore to haul around since the NPC spawns are now insane and that ship would not be a good thing to take out thier. THIRD dont count on them coming out till 5 years from now cause remember with CCP its 3 steps forward 2.9 steps back he he he

u could easily get a tital to over 1 mill cargo with the 8 low slots, u need but imagine a mining opp with this for a hauler, it could take ALL the ore and do the protection all in 1, the cargo also means u could fit a bs in the cargo hold, this could b very usefull in pvp if u can drop a fully armed bs for some1 who just lost a ship.
the titals SHOULD come in with jump drives which SHOULD speed up travel (from wot i've heard)u may have noticed the skill for jump drive on market, costs 10 mill and does nothing as its not in the game yet

nah man, titans arent menna be super super battleships, u do know that right? afaik they will need escorts to protect them which i think is a wise move. think of them more as huge indies rather than mega bships.

Yup, some stats from the one I looked at don't quote me on it there at home.
2500 shields
2000-2500 cap
some armor
and 10000 structure?
It wasn't the best stats that i've seen but correct it isn't ment for a battleship purpose. Its huge, really really big, and well it is ment for hauling/mining/transportation of ships and ammo/cargo to battle groups.

The code, graphics, etc.. everything is ready for titans but there is no use for them atm. CCP wont put them in until player owned stations and system ownerships comes in game cause otherwise it will crush the game balance like an egg hitting the ground!

Either way when the Titans are ready to come in, lots of things will of happened by then. More people leaving/joining, more items on market, more specilizations into fields. Everyone will have there own little part in the game and the ones who ventrued tward the titan avenue will take that route while others will head other directions.
One thing if for sure, I can't wait til stations and etc come into play.

One word: "Place Holder"
They haven't bothered even balancing titans, as you can not expect to see them until Tech 5, if not afterwards.
Quoting TomB "Titans are essentially, in their own level. Not so much apart of a Tech, but on their own."
If your lucky you'll catch one after Tech 4.
But thats a good 1.5 years, ATLEAST.
How do I know? I don't, no one does, not even the devs. It depends on the community's interraction with the game and the developers, and how fast & smooth things go through.
Titans are not battletype ships, but instead are like mobile stations. Since they are mobile, they wont be as defensive as your regulary stationary; station. Massive cargo space, if I recall I got a titan to around 350k cargo space. But remember, everything is placeholder unless its on the live server.
Expect a titan to have massive shields, moderate armor, and smaller hull. Giant cargo space (as they are to be mobile stations).
Currenlty.. titans can dock in stations, and let me tell you, IT LOOKS MAD STUPID.
But anyways, with the release of elite frigates, elite cruisers, battlecruisers, etc.. you'll have ton of ships to play with, ton of skills to specialize your abilities, you soon will forget the dream of a titan.
Even when they do come out, will take more minerals to build a titan then it would your average joe station.. good luck to the first corporation that builds one, because it will be a prime target.

Check this topic
It's TomB playtesting the balance of the Leviathan. Or he is just having a good time.
Anyway the weirdest gang was invited to try and blow up his Mimmatar Titan up. I think the only reason they didn't start fighting amonst themselves was because they had a common goal:
Destroying a Titan. 
Some facts:
- Leviathan looks nice
- Colored brackets look nice
- Tank CEO can even get Devs annoyed
- Titans are close to invincible.
- I should play on Chaos more often

I would like to see (npc) titans as a way to bring the faction wars alive for players. As they seem to be large motherships, somewhat like mobile stations, the could be placed a few systems from the "frontline systems" to support the fighting forces, and as the system gets secured by either side the titan is moved into the system to represent advancement in the war.

Just thought I'd point out how rare the titans are in Eve:
- The Jovian Directorate, the most technologically advanced empire, has three.
- The Amarr Empire, the largest empire by far (something like 40% of Eve) had two titans. ('had' since Khanid II stole one)

If I really cared i would look this up, but i'll go from memory. A few CSMs back someone from CCP said that Titans was POST player stations. So dont hold your breath...

every titan should also have a unique skin, since figure manhours to build one (1000+ hours at least), the dev could make em special, maybe one day's work or 2 for the graphics team and believe me, the effort put by the dev in that field would be appreciated, also my suggestion would be not to have specific stats but to make unique stats for each ship according to the bp or construct platform, (no originals here only rare 1 use platforms). Maybe as to make it more cool maybe make em build components in the station and move em to their secret construction platform site.
Anyway, every titan should be unique as to the rareness of them and resources used in them... Is anyone expecting to see more than 10 titans in EVE?
