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.

How many alts do you think he will be able to run for this "solo PVP" adventure.. Lets see 1 Cyno bait alt to bridge to.. 1 Titian alt. 1 PVP alt.. 1 oh **** I jumped my titian instead of bridged at to cyno back to POS alt?
This is one amusing idea of SOLO PVP, and I totally can't see anything going wrong in the confusion of trying to run all these accounts at once. |

you can log before you load the next system, it's not a super-huge deal.
i've had around 10 titans jump into me instead of bridging, know how many i killed?

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 |

If you choose to listen to the guys above me regarding BLOPS have a look at their bridge and jump range. These are quiet limited compared to titans and will from time to time become an issue. |

In spite of which, in a solo situation the blops remains the best option by a long shot.
Consider the following:
Last time I checked (actually last time I know CCP published those figures) the Panther was the most efficient ship with regards to kills/loses. Across all categories.
Because Blops make excellent hunter killers.
With a Blops you won't need to worry about having to keep up some POS's (which can get old fast if you don't do anything with them) and you will have a lot more mobility than with a titan, however on the downside you are probably not going to have the right skills to use one effectively.
One added advantage of the blops is that it lets you assess the logistics and jump options available to caps without the need to actually use a cap (alright - blops is range challenged but you get the idea).
I say go for it... or end up as a titan killmail and then go for it

Are you trying to say, Titans have better Offensive Capabilities fighting anything sub Cap? Or are you trying to say you will die slower in a Titan? |

Whats hes saying is that even though a covops t3 can bridge on a blackops ship, its probably not a good idea because a covops t3 isnt really any better than a recon, and quite a bit more expensive to lose. I used to have a clever sig but I lost it. |

Honestly I'd forgo the POS entirely. Once someone knows you're their, you're pretty much screwed.
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. |

You can also jump it around 5 minutes before downtime for extra safety.
Even if you get aggro'd or tackled, the CCP lunchbreak will save your ship. |

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

OK. I know im gonna get trolled for this, and i dont exactly blame the trolls, but....
Looking at the risks you're taking, looking at the lengths to which you're willing to go... What class of ships are you going to be dropping? It may ALMOST be more efficient to hotdrop a combat fit Blops than to risk a titan like this. Besides, then you're using a covops ship to light your cynos, and you can go through highsec at a whim...
And with the cost of titan+character, how many combat fit Blops + Bridging Falcons can you buy?

ya your wrong. If you own the pos, you can cyno at the edge and land the same 5k from the cyno. If you do NOT own the pos you have a chance of landing 5+k form the cyno (usually 14k from the edge of pos shields) |

You do know that there are no such things as deep safes anymore, right? CCP got rid of those awhile ago.

Deep safes are generally just taken to mean safes off scan from any celestials these days, terminology changes.
To the OP if you never screw up and take the right precautions you will never lose your Titan and your plan will work fine. However, for the :effort: and cost there are much, much easier ways to get similar amounts of entertainment. 99% of situations where you're bridging a solo ship onto a target you might as well just have had your alt in a falcon instead of a titan in terms of winning the fight (and you'll probably die less too).
Also, there will be that time when you're drunk pewing and accidentally bridge your Titan in and pass out on the keyboard and have to ragequit the next day, so that's another reason not to. |

You do know that there are no such things as deep safes anymore, right? CCP got rid of those awhile ago.
Here's how I would make a "deep" safe in npc null and lowsec.
Find large system. Find someone doing missions in said system, since missions (unlike plexes or anoms) can be god knows how far away from celestials (Especially L4 and L5 missions) and in random directions (including up/down). Warp between these locations and place bookmarks where you want em. Then warp between those bookmarks and repeat. Since missions can send you anywhere (e.g. 20 AU Above and 15 AU out from the farthest planet in a 250 AU system) you have quite a few options assuming you have the time to either a) continuously run missions in said system b) probe out someone doing (a).
In certain systems I have safes that are at least 50 AU away from any celestial, and any direct warp line between said celestials.
Now the only way someone will find you is with probes, which isn't a huge problem if you fit a cloak. Mind you, using a solo/personal titan w/o corp/alliance support is a ******* terrible idea, but it beats using a solo/personal titan from a pos. |
