^They should convert all Titan BPO's to a 1 run BPC, so then it really start to hurt if you lose a Titan.
But I guess it's already too late
this is a interesting idea

yep a whole 120 ppl into a hostile cyno jammed system and killed a super cap with a support fleet.
Ok, I see I'll have to be blunt here: this totally awesome roam you had here which was totally fun and everyone should try out, happened to be against the one single alliance in the game without a titan. If BRUCE actually had a titan they'd warp it in after like 5 mins, DD your gang from 200km out, warp out 10 seconds later while laughing at the silly, lil' bobbits in pods.
This is exactly the thing BoB has done against as little as SOLO people roaming around their space.

and don't be a tard who comments on 50 v 200, be realistic.
This is getting pretty far off base. It was originally a comment specifically about dread combat, since that's the only thing excessive titans actually encourage. So titans discourage fleet fights, and encourage capital fights; at face value that's cool, capital fights are a lot of fun. But dread mechanics make things very predictable due to numbers, it's basically all or nothing, and it's still expensive enough that people don't do it frequently for lols. This means that even though everyone is getting massive capital fleets, capital fights are still very uncommon until very rare specific conditions are met. There's much less actual fun, large scale combat taking place because of titans. That doesn't seem good to me.

Badly managed alliance that doesn't even have a fraction of the good moons in their space and the ones they do have is used to finance the executor(which just left) suiciding carriers into everything and buying billions in trimarks to fit on horribly fit battleship fleets that are badly led.
tl;dr, bruce is a horrible alliance

QFT.... people just don't understand, naps were the number 1 reason titan numbers got out of hand in the first place.
Imagine how many Titans or even MoMs the north would have if they didn't go a year and a half w/o any significant war on their doorsteps. Remember, MC stopped well short of MM space.

There are still places you can roam to with 80 people and have a good fun fight. <3 BRUCE.
Anyway, that's off topic. Agree with Diana (bah, didn't see that coming) in that whatever change is needed -- the Titan role has to bring value for investment people have made in terms of isk and effort.
Hence removing DD without giving titans a significant role boost is just stupid.
And yes -- there really WAS a way to avoid BoB titans in Delve. Just because you couldn't all pile to a single system and then fail at taking it since there were 4 titans with a cynojammer up doesn't mean the mechanic as such is wrong. If you recall, QY6 was taken because a simultanious assault took place in several systems at the same time. That was the way to avoid multiple Titans in Delve... but we ran out of people to continue doing it...
If CCP wants alliances to require such massive numbers to try and dislodge multi-titan entities from their space, then DDs/Titans are fine as they are.

Yes clearly the reason why titans got out of hand was because of large power blocs forming, not because its some completely ******** superweapon that renders 90% of all the ships in eve irrelevant and makes **** really trite and boring

When QY6 was taken there were at least 4 titans in system, however bob was all :effort: at the time since they lost most of period basis in a day and could barely get people to log in, nothing with splitting up and attacking multiple systems.
Quote: There are still places you can roam to with 80 people and have a good fun fight. <3 BRUCE.
Funny that one of the last places you can have a "good fun fight" is also one of the last places where you won't get dd'ed everywhere.

Not really, everyone still had their enemies. Sov 4 was the reason numbers took off. BoB had no trouble popping out titans even at times that we had free reign over their primetime. I can't imagine Tri, MM, RZR, blah blah, not threatening each other's cap yards if they were vulnerable.

Edited by: Torso Addenda on 08/05/2008 17:04:26 Another proposal (that I haven't thought through yet) to the problem of titans:
Instead of applying instantaneous damage to all ships on the field, an activated doomday would produce a toxic cloud (as in some missions), continuously dealing damage of their racial flavour, over time, to all ships on grid.
The Titan's doomsday would remain a tremendous asset capable of turning any battle. The original intent of removing drones, T1 cruisers and smaller from the field, thus reducing lag, is maintained. Additionally, ship deaths and poddings resulting from the doomsday are distributed over time, reducing lag spikes from database congestion and notifications. Titans themselves would have to remain on the field for their doomsday to have effect, and would thus be vulnerable themselves. The Titan's own fleet, like those of smartbombing battleship groups, would need to preferentially tank against its damage type (and hence be more vulnerable to others). It also deters fleets from using Titans of multiple flavours Obviously, some sort of stacking nerf against multiple Titan "Toxic Cloud" doomsdays on a field might be neccessary to allow the possibility of hundreds of opposing battleships tanking their effect and driving them from the field. Perhaps total doomsday damage per second would approach an assymptotic limit around 600. Battles would be longer, and more demanding of all participants, as has been the wish by CCP for some time.
If this receives any positive responses, I'll give it more thought and post it to the Features threads.

are you even aware of the state of the north since bob left?
Right now, 2 main powers are going up against 8-9 to try and end the joke that is those monkeys. Its total nap land and they are struggling at best to move on us, just like they nearly collapsed when TCF invaded about 1.5 years ago. It's the south 2.0 but w/o an equal of BoB doing the work up here to hold space. I think more than anything, what does that say about the power of numbers, and the will of nappers.
If this war goes for another 3 months at this rate, the north will either collapse or run home to mommy like they did in the south. Only problem this time is that home isn't so far away this time.
People's mentality that the blob is the only answer is such a joke. It really saddens me that someone like the leaders of MM directly admit that the blob is their answer.
THEY HAVE 10 TITANS... shouldn't they be a parallel to BoB by your arguement? We (Insurgency) just got number 1 (titan) 4 days ago, yet we've held out and even won back space in the past month with a cap fleet maxed that maybe is 50% of what theirs can be at any time of day.

If Titans are that horribly badly balanced and the instant i-win tools: why didn't RA get a couple more of them and used them? Why didn't goons get more? Why got KIA only one and only now?
I suspect that the real reason for all the crying that titans are unbalanced is that people see an easy way to hit BoB without risking anything.

Originally by: KIAEddZ There has been a lot of discussion about this, in general chat etc. But I'd like to bring a sister discussion here, from the point of the Corporations and Alliances that inhabit 0.0 space.
Its no secret KIA own a Titan, and we will be getting another couple in the coming months. They are becoming more and more common and a decent sell market, with 1 available most of the time, has sprung up.
Having seen just how easy they are to train for, build or purchase and use, I am a firm believer that the the DD part of their capabilities must be removed from the game asap. We are well over 50 Titans now, and that number is accelerating, as people become more adept at building them, the process lines for those with secure space are becoming more efficient, and thus more are arriving, it almost seems weekly now..
And despite that, they aren't dieing. They are too easy to use, too easy to protect (don't get me started on the POS Bubble DD'ing)... it is simple to make a Titan align and warp in sub 15 seconds, and still give it a 10+k DPS tank, even with the basic of officer mods, a full setup which would admittedly cost a lot, could have you warping in 10 seconds and tanking 15k+ dps...
Killing a Titan isnt easy enough for the damage they can do, and as the game begins to fill faster and faster with them, I for one am very worried on how this will play out. I remmeber when people argued that something costing 50 billion to build, shouldnt be easy to kill.... well 50 Billion is chump change to the big guys.
Would the likes of BoB and Ra/AAA/Goons etc like to see some of their roles removed from the game, or do they see their advantage, which grows every day, over other players too much to give up?
Lets be honest, the day of 20 Titans on a battlefield is not far away.. thats 1.5ish million raw damage
How long before popping a carrier fleet will be effected by a mass Titan DD?
It feels like a race, first team to 30 or so Titans wins Eve...
When someone is getting close, can I join your team   
easy take the DD awary only if the build cost drops be say 50b, the DD is the ONLY MAIN! reason people gets / wants a titan, with out it, the things is a useless peace of trash that has no place in the game.
and I DARE! anyone to say different, you wont be able to with a straight face because you know its true.

So sad to see some of the flames, in what was solely intended to be a frank discussion about Titans from those Alliances that frequent these boards, ie the ones that have them.
Titans need changing imho, the DD needs changing, but you have to feel if the people that are running the political and military show, who pretty much all reside in here, can't think of a way of doing it then CCP can't be expected to do it easily.
I didn't start this thread for anything other than to see what the others who have Titans feel about them.
If you don't feel they need nerfing thats fair enough, but for anyone that thinks they do, would be great to discuss ideas on how.
Ps I read that other thread, but I didnt see many actual Titan owners, especially the big boys, in that discussion thread.

i was under impression that 2 main powers have some more by their side, and i find it lame to label your alliance and allies as monkeys.
before others start flamewar this was a joke! but definately MM is 1 of main powers, second one choose yourself :)

It comes down to this: Eve players can complain, or comment, or whine but in the end CCP decides whats best for the game because they want it to stay alive so they can get paid at the end of the day like everyone else. It's their bread and butter. What does that mean for all of us: Whatever changes CCP makes whether its to Titans or any other aspect of the game, we all need to adapt, evolve and change or else DIE! Thats all there is to it. Thats why BoB is here, thats why we say "we are better than you" and so on, thats why we can get space, leave space, lose, win, and at the end of the day still be kicking butt and surviving where all others have died or are dieing or will die soon or whatever. If an alliance or corp with good leadership can dynamically improve and change themselves after each modification that is made to the game and survive to fight another day and still be a threat to others, then they are playing this game well ... not good, just well.  I spend Isk I don't have, to buy things I don't need, to impress people I don't like! |

its to late now... all they can do is penalty. and they should ATLEAST a TITAN that DD cannot warp or cloak/jump in 10 min. after DD to balance it has to be a HIC locking it down. that will make it RARE
This is how i have always thought it should be fixed, maybe without the cloak bit. (Would be fun trying to find a titan you know is cloaked on grid but cant escape) Also you would still hypothetically be able to DD a dread fleet, but if your opponent had their clones with more dreads in jump reange u lose all your titans.

How about a mobile starbase(POS) you already have the mechanics of letting people control guns, all you need to do is create some sort of way for people to dock and view from inside, or perhaps a gun inplacement.
