So i am thinking about downsizing my accounts and selling my chars and assets in return for a titan char and titan itself. The titan will be used for solo pvp,hot drop,logistics etc. I have very small experience with caps, with that said i am seeking advice on how to keep my titan hidden from the masses and from groups like PL. I am planning on setting up a POS in a quiet lowsec. Is it wise to have several lowsec POS for safety reasons? For you people who own personal titans, how do you keep them hidden? what safety precaution do you practice? |

it will not be flown for pvp, it will just sit inside the pos bridging my pvp toon. |

good to hear, thanks.

IMO buying a personal titan is a complete waste Yes it's fun for a while but the e-peen factor wears of pretty quickly, so don't be afraid to sell it when you start getting bored. Otherwise you'll just want to quit.
1) yeah i dont plan on soloing with the titan, it is only going to be for bridging my solo pvp toon.
2) roger
3) ?
4) roger, how close should i be from the titan? no more than 5k?
5) yeah i am solo so that is solved.
People don't need to be inside the POS to bridge<<< what do you mean by this? i have seen videos of titans poking its head out so people can bridge, is this what u mean? |

thank you for the advice and warnings. do you guys think that having 2 lowsec pos or maybe 3 can mitigate the risk? i will not only have 2 or 3 cyno alts but maybe up to 6 just to mix things up. as for the titan toon itself, the only time he will be online is to bridge my pvp toon, so he will not stay on for more than 2 minutes. |

NaturalBeast wrote:Don't do this. Plain and simple its stupid on so many levels. After watching my old alliance kill a blue Titan because they thought he was a spy you can tell why I hang out in Rens in some ****** alt trading. So I can appreciate you not wanting to blue up your Titan.
But if you really want to PVP in 0.0 your going to need friends. Solo stuff sucks ass. Blobs are everywhere and the only good kills will probably get you killed once intel hits the channels and they cut your exits off and force a logoffski.
Just go find a decent 0.0 corp that specializes in roaming and nothing more. They will be full of alts but who gives a ****? Pew pew at a reasonable pace and then keep your other characters making the iskies somewhere else. But stay away from 0.0 alliances with that Titan. A nobody without real friends will get ganked and then kicked. Thats the way this game is played.
Trust me.
dammit guys all of you are suppose to be encouraging me to go with it so you can get on the km if i mess up lol
yeah i am paranoid player. one of the reasons i dont join pvp corps nowadays because i tend to fly shineys hehe 
plus being outnumbered and killing stuff by yourself is more rewarding imo that is why i want my own titan for the surprise factor which the number 1 advantage for pvp.
sadly i dont have any real life friends who play eve, damn you WOW  |

Faction Warfare might work too.
Several of the Wormhole alliances have decent pvp chops too.
no thanks, i rather not be one of the soldiers for sov warfare, nothing wrong with it though, just not for me. |

Here's what I'd do if I were deadest on having a personal titan.
1) Find a few quiet areas of lowsec via dotlan, and I mean dead quiet. No jumps for at least 5-6 hours consistently during peak hours day to day. Believe it or not, there are actually plenty of lowsec systems that meet this criteria.
2) Fit a cloak on your titan.
3) Make several deep safes in all of the systems that you found in (1).
4) When NO ONE is in said system AND surrounding systems, light a cyno at a deep safe and warp to another deep safe and cloak up the titan.
5) when you want to use it, bridge out from the deep safe when no one is in system. If someone passes through the system, they wont be able to see your titan while your bridging unless they take combat probes out since you're at a deep safe.
oh crap lol why didnt i think of this 
thanks to you i might just really carry on with the plan. is the refueling on the titan the same as pos refueling?

could you guys provide me with an optimal fit that will compliment the task above? isk is not an issue. |
