Quote:And a titan being able to rofl stop a few people is perfectly fine. Indeed it is. The problem comes when its lack of counters GÇö its being outside of the balancing structure of the game GÇö means that GÇ£a few peopleGÇ¥ cannot turn the tables using strategy and tactics because the (lack of) balance prohibits it for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.

As long as there are losers losing, people will always be crying for nerfs. Look at the drake for christs' sake or anything with autocannons. Crying galore. And a simple counter is to jam those kind of ships. And the counter to ecm is to fit eccm mods and primary the jammers 
Titans are fair and balanced. They're just tools like any other ship in the game. Seemingly, unfair, but it is fair considering all that goes into fielding them along the way as opposed to a regular sub cap fleet which is to take a bpo some trit here and there a manufacturing lab which can be done in high sec in a npc station in complete safety.

And this force multiplier you speak of, why are there whelp fleets, alpha doctrine fleets, and lol drake fleets? So much for that. Guess it does come down to numbers. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for startegy and tactics being able to turn the tables in a given situation but if it can't, find another one and keep trying until you do find one. If not, take the simple route and bring more firepower or join the winning team. |

What wouldn't be fair is if small fish were able to take out bigger fish. Obviously, they'd lose. All that they have ever done would never prepare them for what the group with the titans have accomplished to get there. Again, when claiming space seems impossible to claim on your own, maybe it's time to suck it up and join one of the bigger groups. Preferably the one that seems like it'll be around for a while.
No they got that way because they own an I win button. Skill should always trump cash. There is a damn good reason why my corp managed to live in venal and hold off the NC at the hight of its power for years and cause some of the largest fleet losses ever seen in the game to that point. Small fish have always been able to take on the large and win in this game. Right now however even the large fish cant take on the titan blob.

Good for you, but people asking for nerfs because they're losing is a far cry from balance. What about all them industrial ships that get ganked all the time in high sec? Them medium sized ships with a signature radius twice the sized of a cruiser, and effective hp of a frigate. The balance people want isn't balance because they just want to win without having to put in the same amount of effort and time as the cap pilots. |

It's that attitude and lack of ambition that should mean they die. Horribly. Repeatedly. No matter what silly ship they're in. Unfortunately, the game protects them from their own lack of ambition and their own complacent attitude.
Quote:The bigger fish were small at some point and smart enough to not take on so many losses to allow then to become bigger fish. GǪand if they had to keep using those smarts, that would be fine. Since they don't, it's just a race to the top, at which point smarts no longer matter and the runners-up have lost forever. This is bad game design.

I agree with Surge Roth, most of the super capital nerf cryers are doing this because it benefits them.
They don't want to be able to think outside the box or use stragedy and tactics other than mindless blobbing.
They don't care if you put money, time, and effort in getting your supercap.
They want to spit upon what effort you put it so they can play the game with ease and get easy kills.
Super capitals require a support fleet to be any use.
Titans cannot hit moving subcaps by themselves, they require a subcap fleet to pin them down.
AB Tengus can easily be instapopped by a group of battleships.
I don't really like supercaps myself, but this incessant whining and crying for nerfs has gotten to the point of baby crying.
This is the comprehensive mindset of the current whiners:
"Oh he killed me with a titan, NERF TITANS, Oh he killed me with a Tengu, NERF TENGUS, he killed me with a Drake, NERF DRAKES, he killed me with a Hurricane, NERF HURRICANES, he kileld me with X, NERF X!!!.
Stop whining about the supercapitals and shoot the subcapital fleet that's supporting them. Then those supers are just sitting ducks since they can't hit you. |

Never mind the fact that if the enemy is using tracking links to hit sub caps (one of them tactics and strategies you love so much) their EHP is ripe for a fleet with tanked out caps. But again, too much effort, people would rather kill em with rifters because it requires none. Did I mention they can only be made outside of high sec, require tremendous materials to make, ridiculous amounts of time to fly properly, and a support fleet of some variety? unlike those precious sub cap fleets Also, the drake isn't getting buffed. What you heard is that it's having some of its bonuses switched out.

Because nobody has been trying this...
While you are trying to bring down the sub caps the titans are picking off ships at such a rate that you just get wiped out as your firepower gets ever lower. The only defence against titans are to hide behind cyno jammed systems which is just going to result in the same stagnation we suffered for a year and a half after supers were first buffed to stupid levels. |

Even if the drake is compensated for, it still doesn't make up for the fact that what was once possible now is not. And that, is a swift kick in the balls for the poor sap who had nothing to do with a bunch of selfish whiny people who want things their way. As for the topic, I still firmly believe titans are ok. I wouldn't want to fly one, but they should be all powerful considering what they are and how much effort it takes to get one flying properly.

Seriously, I thought they would stop bitching after Crucible, but they just came back ten times worse moaning and bitching even harder.
They won't stop bitching until EVERYTHING in the game has been nerfed and "balanced" to them.
When titans get their guns nerfed, they'll whine and ***** even more about how OP jump bridges and doomsdays are.
When those get nerfed they will ***** about how it has so many hitpoints.
You are all just a bunch of whiny little crybabies. |

The gist of eve is this. Some people might have to manually turn on and off a module here and there. Maybe double click in some space. There are other ships out there that do this faster than 40 minutes too. Just as easily. |

No one ever said anything about them being rare. But if you something awful guys want them to be rare, how about you guys build some of your own and then kill a whole bunch of them to make them rare again? Or are you guys just going to continue to gank miners in npc corps in high sec? |

So on to the thread and topic
look titans DO NOT take as much effort anymore! I mean these are flying out of the ovens at a ridiculous pace. Alliances make so much isk from moongold its unreal, they have all the minerals to mine at their disposal. they have hundreds f busy worker bees do this. Its a finely tuned machine now. So stop saying its so hard to build a titan, its not.
Titans have become just a massive pvp ship, its stupid. Titans, Motherships as supposed to be really support ships. The mother! A mother that bares its children, that keeps them safe. Motherships should be massive support ships that can hold tons of ships, ammo etc etc. Like carriers but much much more capacity, and titans really should be like moving home! Perhaps titans should become the carrier of cap ships. Thats how they should of been from the start. But no they had to be made into ultra destruct ships. On movies/books etc factions usually only have 1 or 2 of these beasts, but when you see 50,60,70 i mean seriously! wtf.... its just doesnt make sense... These massive ships have massive guns, they cannot hit small ships. The size of a battleship compared to a titan/ms is a massive difference. Maybe that's the issue, conception titans are actually too big from a design point of view. Silly i know but think about it. Because actualy battleships in 'real life' are pretty big ships.
personally titans should have the cap ship killer capability, but i think their role is totally wrong. These should be like your removal vans. Where you are moving your entire fleet somewhere, they should be carriers of cap ships, and personally the jump drives should be removed. If you want to move an entire fleet there should be a risk to doing that, not just jumped freely in and out of anywhere at an instant.
so carriers carry ships, mother ships carry ships and ammo supplies, titans carry the caps, and perhaps people too!
and yes have DEFENSIVE capabilites not offensive. If you want a doomsday ship then really they should be super limited to say a couple per alliance. because seriously when do you seen 50-100 doomsday type ships in any literature...you dont

They will say: "I had a back injury going into the fight" or "I didn't think you would fight dirty". The excuses and rampant bullshit coming from losers will always be ever present.
So is it in EVE. Losers want game mechanics to change, not because they are imbalanced but because losers lose. The problem is that it is a slippery slope, because no matter the game mechanics, losers will always find a way to lose. Before titans, losers whined about carriers and dreadnoughts and how everyone blobbed with carriers, and that it was "unfair". Even before that, battleships were "imbalanced" and only "no-lifers who grinded isk for months" were able to get them. And then when they became cheaper the losers whined once more because the "no-lifers" grouped together and had "blobs" of battleships.
The constant pattern of meandering drivel hurf-blurfing out of the inane mind of losers is tiresome. They resort to some kind of misplaced idealism and illusions of "balance", where they really mean that they want the game imbalanced on their behalf, safety-mechanisms in the game so they won't have to deal with the fact that they're losers.
I would give losers the advice to go play another game, but even with some games being like virtual overprotective parents out there, the unfortunate fact is that "loser" is a state of mind, and no changes or game mechanics will change that fact.
You have to change yourselves first.
But that notion is so deeply buried below psychological defense mechanism, denial, projection and self-loathing that probably is impossible. As is this futile attempt at making losers realize that they are.

Again: price is an easily avoidable factor in availability, which is a completely different thing. So no, costing 100 bil is utterly irrelevant to their ability to instapop a Dominix.

GǪexcept that they're quite easy to come by these days, and that they're not (now, or ever before) balanced for that. The problem is that titans still fall into the GÇ£best counter for X ships of type Y is X+1 ships of type YGÇ¥ category. When this happens, things are inherently broken GÇö no GÇ£ifGÇ¥s, no GÇ£butGÇ¥s. Quote:But i forget we live in a world where people want instant gratification and disregard how people got the power they have in the first place and just assume it's unfair. Good job missing the point almost entirely.  Cost is a determining factor because it takes time and some PvEing and/or ganking of high value targets to get that isk. Again, they're easy to come by because people allowed it to happen. The alliances fielding these ships of mass destruction didn't start off with 150 titan fleets. Took em years to make it happen. And any fool who is stupid enough to fly solo in one will part ways with it in no time. They are justified in blowing up your crappy sub cap ships. If they get nerfed and become too weak, then it'll be one of many ships people just don't bother using anymore because they suck. They're suppose to be all powerful. They're suppose to be a pain in the ass to fight.
some northrn regions with tech moons have 800-1200 billion isk income... a month... titan production cost; 45b at 800 billion that is 18 titans a month........
