It's honestly a waste if you're flying it alone. You're either bridging a fleet on top of someone or you're in a pack of titans tracking drakes to death

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

then a lowsec moon with no moongoo on it is fine. put down a minmatar or amarr large wiht max hardeners and no one will **** with the tower. even if they take down your tower, you can just log in and cyno out, since they can't rapecage it in lowsec

1) don't kill anyone with the titan
2) use a proper travelling fit when travelling and / or bring an archon along to cap you up so you can jump again before anyone even gets to the cyno
3) don't cyno onto your own pos like a ******
4) don't warp to your POS at zero
5) don't give anyone you don't TRUST access to the POS
People don't need to be inside the POS to bridge

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.

3) He means, do not cyno your titan to the pos since you can't light a cyno inside it, you'll have to showboat from the cyno to the pos which coupled with an active cyno makes you very vulnerable. You might get away with it the first time but certainly not anymore.

I guess he wants you to cyno in at a safespot and warp to your pos.

I'm donning my Mystic Meg hat here- I foresee a life of doing nothing else but fueling and refueling a POS. Responding to notifications of POS attacks and then watching your Titan die.
Someone. somewhere will spot your POS and then your Titan, once that happens then you know the rest.

Stront only protects so far. Any serious alliance that wants a Titan kill will stalk the pos, wait out the timer, and get you.

Buy a Black Ops....

* You need to be 2 or 2.5km from the Titan to use the bridge (can't recall exact distance, been a while since I last did this)

black ops can only bridge bombers, no?

black ops can only bridge bombers, no?

They can bridge anything with a Cov Ops Cloak...and have the added benifit or using Cov Ops Cyno's.

And you're not risking a titan...

Win, WIn

Does that include T3 Cruisers? I've been wondering about that one...

If they have the Covops sub, yes.

The only thing T3s can't do is light the covert cyno.

you seriously overestimate people's willingness to shoot POSes and especially max hardener towers.



you can't do anything to him in lowsec, he just lands at the pos and cynos out before you can get tackle. i've read this story before (multiple times, in fact) and i know how it ends.

spoiler: him jumping to some empty ass lowsec backwater and logging off while cloaked at a safespot before throwing up a new tower.

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.

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.

Better yet- man up and join an alliance in Null.

Faction Warfare might work too.

Several of the Wormhole alliances have decent pvp chops too.

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.

They've made it so that when you cyno onto a POS now you always land at least 15km from the shield or something like that.
I guess you could cyno onto the pos, warp off, and then warp back, if you want to protect your cynoship.

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?

zero

yeah i expected that,btw what is the bridge range of a titan?

8.5ly compared to 4.5ly of a Black Ops BS. Plus any subcap can use it.

o **** that's badass! hello blackops!


I second the POS fuel prediction. Have fun fueling all those poses just to play with your titan.

Lets not forget that Covops subbed T3's are extremely weak defensive and offensively.

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?

that's because brack region can only lose erebuses, not kill them

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