It is viewed with some irony that one of the most powerful class of capsuleer vessels ever constructed was destroyed largely because of one of the most prevalent of ship classes.
This once mighty vessel's ruin stands as a testament to the efforts of the pilots of New Eden, for both those who worked to create, and those who worked to destroy the once majestic vessel; now what remains is a shattered, haunting hulk.
Something like that would work I think This isn't the signature you're looking for. Can you tell me where to find the one I am looking for? -Kaemonn |

Originally by: CCP Prism X The wreck of ASCNs titan is there. I just visited it some hours ago. Know the story behind how the titan was popped and you'll know why it's not exactly easy to find without a bookmark.
Incidently, anyone want to buy a bookmark?
As to the other wrecks: First titan down was a historical event. I personally have no problem per say with a few other persisting wreck-monuments in my DB but we can't really automate a unique description for all of them. Who knows what happens in the future though so just out of curiosity (and curiosity alone, although I know it killed the cat I'm still asking.. just understand I'm not promising jack) does anyone have the coordinates for where the other titans blew up?

Shrike's was the first Titan down in a legitimate battle. Killed by struggling pilots against a struggling foe, not popped due to an abuse of game mechanics.

The first titan kill was unique, all others are runner ups. A beacon with a brief description would be pretty cool so folks can warp to it and have a nose.

Actually, Cyvok's titan was downed perfectly legitimately. Cyvok aggressed, then logged off before the timer ran out. He was then probed, and popped. Any illegitimacy in the destruction of the titan stems from cyvok, if anyone.

cyvox does play now and then he said he would but he keeps a low profile. Can only imagine his in box full of spam. lol even then he would be playing in one of his alts. He is still teh most famous person in eve. Ginger, verone, even chribba dont come close. although chribba does....

Well and good but not entirely accurate. TCF and RA also help keep it down, and we brought capitals of our own.

Damn that guy must've been heartbroken And then ccp's cruel joke about making it a monument
I believe he quit shortly afterwards, sadly. The titan loss combined with the imminent defeat of Ascendant Frontier was too much for one man to handle. Can't say I wouldn't have done the same, really.
He is still around. . .just not as CYVOK.

i personally placed the wreck in it's place. when the titan was destroyed, i logged on and took a bookmark, which i still have now.
i'm thinking of adding some deadspace type area to it and maybe a beacon. but not sure yet, need to talk it over with eris as she is doing the story for it i believe

While it would be cool to have a unique deadspace in the game. The Shrike wreck is 100k off a stargate. Probably not the best place for a deadspace ;)

its NOT a historical event cause the other ones died not to abuses of game mechanics... or were they replaced by petition and noone knows?
IF they made THIS one a monument because of the "historical" nature of the kill, that would be legitimatizing the "questionable" nature of the kills and those that got their Titan popped, would scream and yell cause then theyd have a case to get them back because it would be CCP admitting that there was something wrong with those kills.

No need for a deadspace just make it permanents and anchored in one place then put a description in its info. This will give people something to find wont it?

actually, cyvok logged off, then bob shot a wreck from cyvok and that allowed him to be re-aggressed. If you paid attention, back then shooting wrecks of logged off pilots will re-agress them and bring their ship back into space. And if you know your history, the very next patch removed that bug/explot or what ever you want to call it

Eve could use more landmarks and sights to see as it is. 0.0 space largely blends together -- the gates are the same, the stations are the same, the belts and rats and POSes are the same. Given that the most compelling content of Eve is the player-driven content rather than the written RP content, I think it'd be pretty awesome to have MORE monuments to significant events.

The first 5 titan kills should get permanent wrecks imo. Seems a good compromise betweens the communities desire to have monuments to their endeavours and ccp's desire to have as little work as possible to do...

Internet lawyering? More like flawed circular reasoning. :D
Cyvok's titan died after Bob agressed him by shooting one of his wrecks, then probed him out. An 'unfortunate' game mechanic. Since you don't get an agression counter on your screen, Cyvok logged thinking he was safe.
The next titan went down after a Bob spy smartbombed the titan before it logged. Again, with no agression counter visible, one would assume it safe to log.
Killing a couple of Titans while unpiloted is a tough thing, especially when you have a 15 minute limit in which to do so. However, Goons killed the first actively piloted titan. It had backup and a support fleet. That's more of an historical event than a couple of kills gleaned through a dodgy game mechanic.
Just my 2 pence. vv -- 99% of Eve-o posters should stop posting. This probably includes me, but definitely includes you. |

Yeah me and Sharky worked on spawning the first Titan wreck together and it has a unique description. Changing the subscription wouldnŠt be too much work, it just requires a patch but, IŠm not sure if we can get permission to do this for every Titan death out there, or maybe just the first 10? We would need to draw a line somewhere as having eve space littered with titan wrecks would get annoying real fast.
The wreck itself is big ( like big big big, annoyingly big if say you have a fleet there) and it spins, having it near a gate will be %%&$&$ annoying as I forsee that any future fight around that gate will be a lot more troublesome because you have a GIANT wreck moving.

Well, CCP obviously knows how many titans there are, and how many are being built. I understand the concern, but do you see a realistic future where there are 50 or 100 titan wrecks within the next 10 years?
And even so, its just 1 object. Don't see how it would cause more lag than say, a GSC in space in terms of server capacity. Just don't let them sit right on top of gates or stations if that is a concern, don't think anyone would mind if you moved them say a minimum of 50km from any gate or station one might die at.

Shame anything goes in the minds of CCP, as far as their friends are concerned anyway.
Goon got the first real kill and it was against bob, bet they didnt see that coming
Put up the monument please, i'd like to go urinate on it tbh, that thing caused me a lot of grief
