Feel free to correct me if i am wrong, as i've never used a titan.
But don't you need to drop a Cyno Beacon for the DDD to lock in order to fire?
wouldn't simple logic imply that being able to drop said becon in a cyno-jammed system be a "bug" in the game mechanics?
i think this is the crux of the matter, people don't mind being DD, (tho it sucks) what people don't like is that being able to spam DDD on a jammer to prevent caps from EVER entering a system is a little Over powered.
make cyno jammers *gasp* actually JAM. And problem solved.

Seems to me that BoB killed a cyno jammer pos with 40 some jammers in just over 8 minutes with a conventional fleet.
How can you blame the titan?
Even if the titan was there, we could have ignored it and still taken down the jammer and all the titan could do is watch.
yes, but could you have ignored 2-4 titans all DD'ing at the same time?
but the titan isn't the point of my post, it's the mechanic that allows a Cyno to be dropped, and "LOCKED" by the Doomsday Device
Originally by: Cyno Jammer Description Creates a system-wide inhibitor field which prevents cynosural generators of all kinds from functioning
so, that's what the jammer does, but apparently not ones that a DDD can lock onto, even tho there's no difference between them,
To clarify, i think titans are fine in thier current role, i do however feel this mechanic allowing them to lock a cyno field in a jammed system, is broken/bugged
