Sentry carriers are fine

annoying but fine

Titan pilots make up .002% of the player population, if we assume 350k players and ~730 titans according to Diagoras' tweets.

let's be generous and assume that every titan pilot has 4 accounts, that's still insignificant

"Titans should stay overpowered so that pubbies can dream about them as they mine veldspar in highsec"

Hahaha, there are still people who think that The Mittani has any power over CCP and their game.

Sweet.

its hilarious raiden. got ordered to ***** on neutral alts in this thread because we were having too much fun laughing at their pain

We can now that our support fleets aren't just going to be free killmails.

are you implying that your alliance knows how to fly anything without PL teaching you how

Within reason yes they will, but that wasn't what I asked, so while you're deflecting nicely, neither you nor weaselior answered the question.


What beats the current CFC 1000-1200 man fleet that has become your constant?


Its a pretty easy question to answer, all of your "everything has a counter" guys should literally be leaping off the page right now.

What beats a 1200 man fleet?

Gains you 25s against frigates (105 to 79, assuming 3 are fitted), 15s against cruisers (64 to 49) and 10s against battleships (44 to 33).

If you see this as a big difference, then it's worth balancing around the officer fit given that dropping 12bn on SBs is not a huge fraction of the outlay for a properly-fit titan. If you don't see this as a big difference, then balancing around the officer fit isn't a big deal because it's not having a major impact. Either way, it's a functional assumption

Actually, Greyscale went to Cambridge, and while we haven't IQ tested him yet, I'm pretty sure he'd score high

We're absolutely listening.

Titans are an anti-cap/supercap ship and we need to limit their ability to kill subcaps. That's a change that's happening and is unlikely to change. The practical details on how that happens we'd love as much feedback on as possible. We've been talking about the lock timers this morning based on feedback from the playerbase, looking at what adjustments we can possibly make. The changes in the OP are still subject to change if we get feedback on how to achieve our goal better.

Because CCPs marketing for EvE is all about 1000 dudes who played since 2004 controlling large parts of the universe, and you as new player have the CHANCE(!) to become their serf.

If you are a small well established alliance you can hold a small portion of space (say one constellation) or not very valuable space.

EvE is not just about the battlefield on the grid but its about diplomacy, making allies, building a community.

The true irony is that they just ignore the fact that Titans are completely invincible when in a blob, unless you bring enough supercapitals to outnumber them. So literally the 'blobbing' these guys whine so much about is THEM. Any battleship fleet of any size can be countered and killed by better pilots, better tactics, a better fleet composition. As it stands, the only thing that can fight titans is a bigger blob of titans. It's them. They are the real blobbers.

"by spending 60b i should be invulnerable to the little people" is the antithisis of EVE

no surprise it comes from bob mk4

I think it's /fairly/ reasonable that a solo titan should be extremely vulnerable against a dictor or HIC, don't you agree?

You dont want your ship to be nerfed to be useless without support yet defend the right to invalidate 99% of ships in EVE...

Welcome to all subcaps and carriers/dreads lives over the last year.

NO worries bro, Here are some sick numbers

7x Cormack's Tracking Comps - Scripted
5x Tobias' Modified TE's
Strong Drop
Ogdin's Eye
DC II Tank

0.01515 Tracking

75% tracking nerf or bust

Bro I don't care about your **** Raidendot fit I am saying what I fit on my titan that you dropped your dreads on a few weeks ago.

Keeping in mind that those 1600 don't exist, and have never existed. This is just some magical number these neutral alts keep throwing around like it's fact. A 'large' fight currently would be 500+ vs 500+. A major fight with everybody and their brother coming never breaks 1600... IN ALL. This idea that numbers win everything, and people are being dishonoureably blobbed out of their space is nothing more than a made up lie to try to distract from the fact that Titans are not some desperate last stand for honoureable people wanting to avoid losing their space to a blob. Titans are an i-win button for people who brought equal numbers and lost the real fight already. Or who don't want to bother forming up to defend their space, so they just drop 50 titans on a pos and laugh as nobody can attack it.

Guys we only drop 37 unkillable ships that kill a ship everytime they fire, not 50 of them. DON'T NERF MY TITAN BRO!

You mean the time PL and NCDOT moved 100 supercaps over 10 jumps in under 5 TiDi'd minutes to kill us? Yeah sure let us stick around and kill a couple more what could go wrong?

If they were dropping 37 ships onto a fight in progress, wouldn't that mean that their subcap support fleet was already on grid and engaged?
