Allowing 2 people to defeat an otherwise superior and better organized fleet is good game design?
Okay? You are joking right? 
At least you got the number of titans right.

hmmm good stuff I think supercapitals should probably have a passive cost associated with them as well, even when they are just sitting at a pos doing nothing, they should be bleeding isk for it to not go into a mothballed state.
So does that mean that when you sit in a station all day, you should bleed isk to the station owner for rent and power used?
Personally, I rather like the idea of running costs for supercapitals at least. As for conventional ships, I see that as presenting some problems. The main problem being that new players, or players who neglect their accounts could easily be bankrupted if they are not careful.

well i mean you would never go into negative isk because then the ship would just become unusable with a hefty retrofitting cost.
There is a question of when ships would require running costs. If ships were to deteriorate when the player is offline, they might legitimately not log into the game for several weeks only to come back and find that their ships are all unusable.
This could be prevented by allowing loopholes such as only applying costs to unpackaged ships, or active ships, or ships in space. But each of these fixes has its downsides. Each presents loopholes that will generate a higher workload for the player.
I'm not saying that these problems are intractable. Perhaps they are worthwhile compromises. But they need to be thought out.

Thats why the cost is taken from the alliance wallet, I mean it is an alliance ship right?
What happens to people in an NCP corporation?
Like I said it is an idea that needs to be thought about.
