Obviously you haven't seen 30 tracking titans vs tengus. PL did that in an earlier battle over C-J6MT and, well obliterated the -A- tengu fleet.

Otherwise make it cost the same as a drake, it is about 60bil to build and 6 weeks in a POS building time. But I guess you didn't know.

>Link fleet please , because i was there and i dint saw 1 single titan i only saw the slowcats on grid and i was in a tengu .

What i remember was you(goons) coming in in drakes and getting rapped by bombs then got raped again by tengus , so \0/

Any large fleet of Titans, in any case, even if it has ships equipped with both types of module. Incur losses if their opponent is not afraid to use their capital and subcapital ships together.

After this stunning display of wizardy and because of the lightning shooting from mittens fingers.

All Bat Country members are now required to wear goggles for eye protection.

You don't get it. I would like to discuss CCP Greyscale's argument about sensor boosters here.

I'm almost at a loss of words here. Almost, therefore I am going to speak my mind.

So now capitals are basically structure grinding machines and you only deploy them if you have something to grind down or if someone else is grinding stuff down and you catch someone else grinding down something. This is not a solution, this is a plaster for a symptom. There is now ZERO reason to deploy supercapitals except to grind down a structure. Do you really want structure grinding to become the motivator for people to build and create supercapitals in EVE? I mean, I don't believe you have thought at all about the consequences of these changes.

EVE is now effectively sectioned off into two tier combat systems. Capital combat and sub-capital combat. The difference is, capitals cannot touch sub-capitals, but sub-capitals can, in the numbers that are brought at the moment, almost 1-3 volley capitals. The titans were a workaround for that because numbers were no longer the only deciding factor, your playing time, your assets and your skillpoints actually played a role. Now we are going back to a time again where the only effective tool, a VERY limited tool might I add, against blobbing is a damn stealth bomber. No more force projection by taking advantage of the many years you have spent in the game and the money you have pooled into a titan, you are better off selling off said titan and joining the nearest Maelstrom fleet.

What am I meant to aspire for in EVE in terms of combat? What is my incentive for actually training all these skills. To fly the next flavour of the month subcapital ship?

EVE is now a numbers game when there is a large effort to remove counters for large fleets. If this is the direction we're going, we're going to see a bipolar political landscape because being a small alliance, you can now only exist if you are a part of the inevitable two powerblocks that will come to dominate EVE. If you can't match the numbers, too bad... join or die.

Let's get a rethink of the roles of supercapitals and not a temporary plaster that will reduce supercapitals to nothing but ihub and station grinders.

It's a great patch, because Titans became a role to destroy capitals not subcaps. A Titan pilot now needs a better support fleet.

Titan pilots make up .2% of the player population, if we assume 350k players and ~730 titans according to Diagoras' tweets.

Damn, I need a bigger jar, this one is already full of delicious titan pilot tears.

Hate to say I told you so, but I did.

Raiden. NC. and PL blobbed the hell out of Branch with their titans, still managed to lose all of the tech, and proved nothing but that the Goons were right all along.

If the titans had been used for actual combat, instead of simply stopping fights because you were losing the battle, the problems with titan tracking would not have been so obvious that CCP had to act immediately.

Titans are supposed to be for cap suppression, not PVP suppression.

Now maybe PL will have to field actual fleets and make some effort to support the alliances that they demand tech moons from, rather than simply freeload off of fail alliances that need them to bring their titans.

THIS! THIS! THIS!

Could Greyscale comment this post please?
