Edited by: Nebulus Bycron on 06/05/2008 03:17:03 Currently titans only have offensive weapons, which are used to destroy large numbers of ships. My idea for making titans more versatile is to implement a variety of doomsday-type weapons that a titan can use to support a fleet.
The first type of weapon would be a defensive shield that the titan could emit around itself, lets say 45km in diameter. This shield would last around 3-5 minutes and give all ships inside of it damage immunity much like a POS shield. The ships inside the shield would have time to repair themselves and regain their cap. The ships would either be unable to fire inside this bubble or full combat ability depending on what game balancing dictates.
A second type of ability a Titan could use is a nanobot bay that fits in their high slot. Much like how current repair systems work this bay would release billions of nanobots in a 45km radius that keeps the fleets armor full for a period of time who are in the deployment field.
A third type of ability a titan could use is a grid sized warp disrupter. This inhibitor would keep all ships (friendly and hostile) from warping for 60 seconds.
This could apply to shield or capacitor or as many logistical things as people can think of. I just think titan fleet logistics are somewhat hampered by their sole direct fleet ability being launching a massive death beam.
Having multiple ways to support a fleet would see titans being used much more in direct combat in a variety of fleet saving ways.
Thoughts?

Or a high slot Toilet module, activate and everybody gets a 3 minute bio break.

I like the POS shield idea; make it require cap to use. |

You get that by simple virtue of the titan showing up, Titan+support+people wanting to kill Titan=dead node

I do agree that the titan mechanic is a bit broken now, and should be remade. The role of a glorified smartbomb could go to another ship as far as I care. Personally I find the titan too majestic of a ship for the role it plays now.
And toys like you suggested could be very cool. They could patch things up a bit (or maybe it will overpower them, I don't know).
But I also think there are more important things to fix right now. Good idea though.
