Here is the idea I have had recently concerning the role of Titans.
It has always been regarded that a Titan should be a mobile station, this is the direction I would like CCP to take.
A Titan is able to anchor itself to a large POS. A Titan can only anchor itself to a POS if it has a ôTitan Corp Hangar Arrayö and a ôTitan Ship Arrayö. The Titan must also have a Clone Vat Bay and perhaps other modules that CCP deem necessary for a function such as this. If you want reprocessing capabilities on the anchored Titan then you would need a ôTitan Reprocessing Array anchored at the POS, factory capabilities would need a ôTitan Factory Arrayö anchored at the POS, research capabilities would need a ôTitan Research Arrayö anchored at the POS. A Titan cannot anchor itself to any POS that has moon harvesting arrays, cyno jammer, jump bridge or perhaps certain other arrays.
Once anchored, the POS becomes indestructible. You cannot damage the POS, you can however damage its guns, scrams, etc,. A Titan anchored POS cannot claim SOV. Only one Titan anchored POS per alliance per system. If the Titan pilot logs out, the Titan will stay anchored at the POS, in essence it will remain static.
Once a Titan is anchored to a POS, it can act as a station (aka: You can dock with it). It will not have a market.
If the Titan pilot chooses to unanchor from the POS, all pilots that were logged out in the Titan will be logged out at the POS location, all pilots that were logged in at the Titan will be kicked out into the POS. When the Titan pilot logs out, all items that were in the titan will be kicked out to the ôTitan Corp Hangar Arrayö, which will most likely have some sort of a sorting mechanism for items that belong to a specific pilot. All unoccupied ships that were in the Titan when the Titan pilot unanchored will be moved to the ôTitan Ship Arrayö, like the ôTitan Corp Hangar Arrayö, it will most likely have a sorting mechanism for ships belonging to a specific pilot. All factory jobs will be moved to the ôTitan Factory Arrayö when the Titan unanchores from the POS. All research jobs will be moved to the ôTitan Research Arrayö when the Titan unanchores from the POS.
It is a fairly straightforward idea. IÆm sure CCP would be capable of balancing the functions. I sure this idea has room for improvement, but itÆs a start.
