Originally by: fire 59 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.
Propaganda, nothing more. I'd be far more interested in seeing Shrike's wreck than I ever would the ASCN or D2 wrecks. (By the way, the D2 wreck is there according to friends, as devs in local seconds afterwards said it would be, yet no love for the swarm)
ASCN's went down due to silliness, D2's went down to to lame tactics that CCP nonetheless doesn't prohibit. Shrike's went down through teamwork, tons of sacrifice, and tenacity. That's the wreck I wanna see. ------- CEO of Maids. No I didn't pick the name. I've grown rather fond of it though.

It's also on a heavily traveled gate where we'll get to see it all the time. That to me is the big attraction.

Right, I managed to get Hammerhead and Sharkbait to sit down and discuss this. As promised here is the final decision:
We will not be creating a wreck for Shrieks titan nor will we be persisting every titan wreck as a monument. Now I know there will be a lot of unhappy campers posting here because we all agree that the idea is really cool (that includes us Devs). Sadly we can't do all the cool things we want (like changing one asteroid belt into a smiley face to coerce an assassination out of Virtuozzo.. it would have been funny!) and we simply found too many potential practical problems with automating this and doing this manually is simply not an option as we'll soon have to put a stop to it and then somebody will feel shafted. This way there is no slippery slope arguable so bruised egos should be minimal.
Sorry Goons, I agree this wreck would probably be seen by more people but I also agree with the impracticality of automating it and that we can't be doing this manually so it is best to put a stop to it now.

just one more bit of evidence, if any was needed, that the devs favor BoB beyond all others. so why not remove THIER titan wreck that they sit around circle-jerking all over and make it even? why didn't Shrike's titan wreck stay? oh, because it was Goons that did it and it was a BoB titan.
unreal.

give it up already with your "BoB has man love from the Devs" crusade. It didnt work the first time, actually i believe you guys made blundering fools of yourselves IIRC.

And here we have Aduna proving exactly why this decision was arrived on. We persisted the first titan to go down. No other titans will ever be persisted regardless of their owner and/or aggressor. If we were to persist yours as well we can no longer cite this rule as we'd already have gone behind our words. Look up 'the slippery slope' argument and you might understand what I'm on about... or you can cling to your tinfoil-hattery. Whatever floats your boat.

oh my god, give it a rest, we are all sick of this crap..
Third titan killed needs a wreck so you can whack of in a circle as well? second and third place get silver and bronze medals while the 1st place gets a trophy and a medal. How is that for favouritsm?

Theyve admitted to that, but all other attempts of Goonswarm to connect BoB to the Devs has faltered. Its old, stale, boring, and a pathetic argument now.
How nice of you to leave out the infamous DDoS attack a couple months back performed by your cute little outfit...seriously, let it go already. Theyve admitted their downfall with the whole t20 thing, but for you to continue to harp on it after the necessary investigations were run just makes you look desperate.

So, no being able to view the wreck of Sir Molle's folly. Exactly how many Titan's do they expect to have to do for in the future? More than 1 a month? You have 50+(?) mission writers but can't find the time to allocate 1 person to do it. Heck, you don't have to put it at the gate, it could have "drifted in space to 2 grids away" and be marked with a beacon if they were worried about lag.
This WAS a great way for both the losers and winners of an epic battle (well, not including the BoB kills, but the Titan dieing was a war defining moment for ACEN and sealed their fate for the BoB win, and they should be able to see their victory too).
If CCP wants to be fair, they can remove the previous Titan kills, but we all know they won't. Probably because removing 2 Titan wrecks would require "automation".
This is a missing of a great opportunity for CCP to show even the ghost of player old empires can be seen, but you've instead decided the work of 1 CCP employee a few hours is worth more than showcasing the history and epic size of EVE.

Prism and CCP,
my tinfoil-hattery was not always as such. i loved this game (still do), and i greatly enjoy playing and reading up on the political landscape. however, i have been burned in my life by cheats before and in Eve i was happy to have found a place where everyone was equal in terms of being able to fight, no unfair advantages. my hattery started only after CCP had come out and admitted on multiple instances that they had been favoring BoB over any other person/group. THAT is the source and reason why i have the hattery, not for any hatred of the devs or the game. unfortunately for me (and i suspect still a significant amount of the playerbase), that suspicion will always be there so that when something like the Shrike titan wreck issue comes up, people will automatically assume it's favoritism.
however, CCP and the devs have worked on taking steps to try to alleviate this sigma that has popped up and i recognize this. i just want to say it will take awhile for things to go totally back to normal with the players as it was before. sadly, that is not now, so that is why i scream favoritism, because to me it still does have that taint to it. i still look forward to the day when something can be done against any enemy of BoB and my first thought will not be a tinfoil-hat response.

BoB chatted him up on MSN of course. Or alternatively, he was in the gang as his BoB char and just logged in as his other after the fight to congratulate in local. Either way its typical behavior and I doubt anyone is really surprised with the outcome of this thread.

Some misconceptions here: There is only one titan wreck. It's the remains of Steve, the first titan to go down in our universe. If this is wrong please point me to the other one.
Also I'm not sure what DB dude you're referring to as me and Proctor are the only DB dudes who've got any TQ presence and I sure as Sally wasn't there.
As to why we cannot do it manually it's because of the slippery slope. At some point we might not be able to allocate resources to it instantly, at least it's prudent to assume so. In that case we might have a delicate situation on our hands, say the Goons having shot down 5 BoB titans in an epic battle which leaves the Band of Brothers decimated. Any hesitation on our behalf to manually make these monuments might be interpreted the wrong way, so we're not doing that.

I think there is one important thing that is being overlooked here. We have (relatively), consistent dev responses in this thread. And in this thread, they are fully explaining what they want and their reasoning, in something that as far as I'm concerned, is an acceptable level of transparency.
So we have a Dev being open and honest, even though he knows it is an unpopular view. In other words, whether we got what we wanted or not, we know what is going on.

So instead you refuse to build the monument for the first live Titan to go down in an epic battle that many consider to be a major turning point in the war between BoB and RSF? I think you're pretty much guaranteed this is going to be interpretted the "wrong way".

You know what, I hate BoB, I hate all the cheating stuff that went on, I hate the whole episode involving t20 etc.
But you goons are worse.
Over and over again you ***** and whine and cry and gripe. Go away, shut up, get out of EVE, you cheapen everything you touch and you did NOTHING to deserve a monument unless it was a monument to stupidity.
