So This is a simple fix to the amount of Titian that are out there.
I Don't believe that the Titan is over powered or that it is even needs a fix for the "Tracking Titan". The thing is meant to be the "be all and "end all" of death.
But as many of them that live in 0.0 know. There is just far to many of them now. Many players have had time to skill up and get one. So we need a way to reduce the amount of them with out nefting them. And a simeple way is to just Increase how long it takes to cook one. If a balance can be found that means that the rate of building one is over taken be the rate they are destroyed. The frequently that the "Titan blob" would be seen and used will decrease.
This is a simple idea. And I am sure there is lots of reasons for it the fail. But I am just putting it here anyway. Never know. It might work.
}{ Side note. To help with Titan and Super Cap destruction I would also like to see Dreadnoughts get a buff on warp strength. Make it so that a HIC is needed to warp scrabble them. Then you might see more dreads on the field to help in the cause that is killing Titans and Super Caps. |

No, ISK is not a factor for the likes of PL Goons -A- and so on. Plus. It's the market that sets the price. Not CCP. It is us the players that set how much we want for the building and selling of a Titan. There is in fact no way CCP can increase the price of a Titan. |

Well, I suppose if you raised the construction time to a year and the price to some amount so large as to be meaningless you could probably slow the expansion down, for one year until all the new assembly lines started spitting out their queues. |

You would think that at the start. but if takes a year to make one. Then that is 1 year that anybody has time to find a CSAA that is cooking on and kill the POS. 1 Year to make., 365 days for somebody to abort it it.
As for increasing price. This will not work as it is us the players that set the price. Not CCP. But I will add that if build time was to Increase, The price would go up anyway. You have to remember,. It is players that make Titans. Not NPC's |

If you have sovereignty, and a bunch of titans already, what are you going to guard those assembly arrays with?
Who's going to stop you? The other alliances who are using their own titans to guard theirs? |

Yes but CCP sets the amount of mins that go into said titans, so the miners/botters set the prices
Making it harder to built titans is not the way to reduce their numbers, and is certainly not the way to fix the WTFPWN blobs of titans. The best way to fix both of those is to make titans easier to kill, how to do that is up for debate, though there are several solutions that I like.
1. Make it easier for super caps to kill each other, ie. increase doomsday and FB effectiveness against other supers.
2a. Nerf Titan tracking so that they cant hit faster battleships (but can still hit something like a triple plated Abaddon).
2b. Leave Titan tracking as it is, but make it so that Titans either can't refit in space (introduce a limited form of super cap docking), can't refit from MOMs or suffer some form of penalty when doing so, meaning that if a Titan pilot fields a tracking death machine at the expense of tank, the can't instantly refit to a massive brick tank once they become primary.
3. Introduce new capital ships such as a capital EWar ship, capital dictor, capital version of the teir3 BCs (lots of big guns, on a fast, fragile frame), or some other ships that increase the tactical elements of capital warfare.
4. (Won't make them die faster, but makes them harder to deploy from half the cluster away) Introduce a spool up time on jump drives and/or portals.
(Suck it stupid forums! Ctrl c+p ftw  )

Should just make a anti-titan frigate that flys into its drone bay and warpdrives into its engine core causing the eventual implosion of the titan
or what you guys said, I guess that works too |

And what are alliances that don't have titans or have half the map napped going to protect their CSAA's with? That's the problem. |

Not just titans but need increasing construction/build time for the all supercaps too.
At least they need 3 months build time to slowing down supcap trends. Yearly 2k supercapital build is too much.
Other thing, their prices too low. Increase them at least up to 3x. |

Wouldn't do much of anything other than make existing supers a lot more valuable. If aim was to slow it down then we are a few years too late as super blobs are already as standard as RR blobs
Make the CSAA more vulnerable, as in associated POS having 25-50% available space for stront and CSAA taking so much fittings that there is a bare minimum available for guns/jammers/etc.
Allow small gangs/fleets, that are unable to engage the tower directly, to disrupt/interrupt build process by hacking and/or completing some other secondary task.
In short, make it much less of an setup-and-forget thing and force super spammers to actually protect their nurseries. |

CSAA's arent destroyed everyday, adn even if they dotn field supercaps, these alrge powerblocs that can afford these hundreds of CSAA's could just rifter-blob any sort of aggression to death, all this would do is ensure that only the largest of alliances woudl eba ble to defend and construct capitals, so only they woudl get them, effectively closing off 0.0 to any alliance/corp not willing to bend over and take it daily from a 0.0 "slave-driver". so no, simply increasing the amount of time to build a titan would NOT help. |

FFS
everybody always talks about "fix titan tracking"
or
"there's too many titans"
or other **** like that
there's a simple solution to this!
NOT ALLOWING CAPITALS TO USE OTHER CAPITALS' FITTING SERVICES
Tracking titans are rediculously easy to kill. Seriously.
The problem is that if you shoot one, they use the fitting service of another nearby super, and instantly have a wtf-pwn tank.
The fix isn't fancy. It's quite basic. Easy as that.

All you're doing here is cementing the status quo by hindering new entities from building their own titans to catch up with the existing fleets.

Are you sure you want to increase the time it takes to create Titians? I mean the man spent two years on the Assunta. Isn't that long enough?

If a player can commit 50billion or whatever for a titan and 100 for fits: triple the amount of minerals/components need
to build it, make capital components much more expensive in materials cost.
Having a Titan must be an exceptional asset but should have much bigger access difficulty than now by it's price, if tomorrow you have to pay 500billions for a Titan I'm quite sure you'll see only a few outside because everyone and his grandmother will want to kill them by any means.
Buy a 30millio sp alt to sit it in is a difficulty?
Titans price with the number of plex flowing is dirty cheap and are not dieing enough, battleships need to be cheaper to build have more hitpoins as speed, and 25% more dps againt caps/supers/titans wouldn't be too much

Increase the material requirements, since people wont lower their prices any futher the Titan price goes up. |

If you increase the time required, you will only see more CSAA's up to build more of them at the same time.
Similarly, if you make titans cost alot more, its only a matter of time before the player economy expands to the point where they aren't that expensive again. Changing the cost on a titan will only provide a temporary band-aid. Titans themselves need to be changed to provide a permanent solution to the problem. |

While your at it.
Increase the build time on sub cap ships (all of them). Introduce sub cap ship components to be used in building instead of plain minerals. Double the cost of sub cap BPOs.
This will solve all blobbing problems. True story. |
