Yes how will PL live with being able to kill other capital ships with the same efficiency they do currently. The sky has fallen now that PL will forced to keep killing capital ships left right and center! Oh the humanity! |

You don't actually believe this either, and I know it. You know that different fleets wildly vary in effectiveness and that there is a huge and ever-changing metagame between Maelstroms, Drakes, Tengus, Abaddons, sniping T3/HACs, bombers, carriers, and on and on and on. The subcapital and capital fleet war is most certainly NOT dominated by raw numbers in the way that almost every war for the past 2 years* has been dominated by who has more supercaps.
Supercaps suffer from the "he who has more, wins!" problem in a way that subcaps and caps actually never have.
* I am excluding the wars where the defending alliance was already dead and rotting on the inside and merely needed to be eviscerated and have all its structures shot.
When it comes to support fights there's a bottleneck in fleet doctrines and it mostly comes down to what you can tank, because if you can't counter by raw dps you need to keep the dps you do have alive.
No matter what doctrine you bring, there comesa point where you're getting alpha'd because there's just so many dudes shooting you, it's pretty simple.

Go ahead and refute what I said. No one is dropping dreads in a support fight to kill triage carriers outside of low sec (where the numbers total in the fight are around the hundred mark) hey I wonder why dreads are fielded so often in low-sec what has effectively been out of the game there? bombs, it's obviously bombs
brilliant, fatal acension will be contacting you shortly.
(p.s it's nothing to do with titans, it's the low cost, high dps and ability to track BS, basically a sc post patch) |

As you all know AAA doesn't use titans or for that matter supers very much. We've found ways to counter enemy super blobs or in the very least make them ineffective. So here are my two cents on the titan nerf.
Tracking speed nerf is completely fine and was much needed, titans will still be able to hit bs fairly well however, especially if they are webbed, however hitting anything smaller will now be a major pain in the ass.
The scan res nerf is rather ridiculous. If you don't want titans locking subcaps, then simply implement a function where titans can't lock subcaps, that is really rather simple. As people know I like to throw my titan around and DD people who rep poses or aggro on stations. For that sort of warfare this is now completely useless. It will take 20+ seconds to lock a carrier with 3 sensor boosters. Stacking penalty makes it useless to fit any more than 3 really. So honestly any carebear who is not completely asleep at the wheel will be able to make it into the shields 10 times over in his carrier by the time he is even locked.
Another note is that a bs with mwd turned on has the same sig radius as a carrier, so honestly you can lock a bs just as fast if you want to. Lets actually look at some numbers here to further prove this nerf is fairly stupid.
Taking a titan with base scan res 5, putting in 3 federation navy sensor boosters (and yes i'd put officer if it actually mattered a damn). Perfect skill bonus gives u 1.25 multiplier, fleet 1.1 and sebos further 4.34. Put all these together and you get 5.97...lets call it 6/ This means your scan res is 30. It will take 17.7s to lock a carrier, approximately as long as it will take to lock a bs with mwd on. Going down one step further bc with mwd on (much more likely scenario) will have a sig radius of around 1400-2000 (assuming no bonuses). This puts the lock time between 19 and 21s. So loking at it the difference in lock time of a mwding bc and a carrier is at most 4 seconds. Putting sig radius a lot lower at 400 for non-mwd bc such as drake lock time goes up to only 30s.
So in essence a titan will be able to lock any ship that it can actually hit in between 17 and 30s. Granted this is much slower than before but at the end of the day it should be able to lock capitals SIGNIFICANTLY faster than subcaps and this nerf does not fix it in any shape way or form. All it does it make shield hugging carriers nearly immune to DD while bss and bcs on grid will still go pop...maybe not bcs so much, but bs still stand no chance against titans, they will be locked and hit rather will.
20s lock time...7s cycle time on guns, that means even with 3 locked targets any titan will have 3 bs perma-locked.
gg ccp...you didn't fix anything...you just made titans more useless against other caps as far as i'm concerned. |

Hey guise. I'm not a cap pilot or anything so forgive my ignorance. I can totally understand the logic of this nerf (from an outsiders perspective, I mean), but I have one real question.
What is the capitol ship that cap-heavy alliances should be using to combat subcaps after this change? Carriers?
I think its obviously silly that Titans would be able to hit subcaps, but I think it seems fair that there should be some capital ship that is designed to fight downward.
I wouldn't want these big fleet battles to just change from "Who has the most supers" to "Who has the most Maelstroms."

Hopefully they will start using another fleet to combat a fleet. Carriers are currently used quite heavily in regular plain old dust ups and will continue to be used so. I doubt most heavy hitting alliances consider carriers to be a huge deal anymore, they're so fragile they can be alpha'd like any battleship. |

Good job goons/mittens now you should have the upper hand against a foe who you greatly outnumber.... Counterpoint: You're from battleclinic and thus have zero idea what you're talking about when it comes to PVP in EVE Online. lol, you couldn't be more wrong, all of the battleclinic mods are PvPers. Confirming we do lots of pvp like things, but not as l33t as non-BC mods. I mean, the fact we voluntarily moderate one of the largest EVE fansites MUST mean we're terrible, right? So does Riverini. You're not making compelling arguments out of this. |

1200 is not a constant by any means, try 600 a counter to 600 would be:

Well now you've just traded "who has the most X" for "who has the most Y".
You saying "Well they should bring a matching subcap fleet" is no different from them saying "Well they should bring a matching supercap fleet."
I agree with this nerf, but I think some tweaking to carriers and dreads might be necessary to make them more useful against subcaps in fleet battles. Just a thought. |

I find it astonishing that you none of you realise that behaviour like this is what got your toys nerfed. Throwing a bunch of subcaps at titans and expecting to win is not even close to being a serious attempt. Fielding a fleet of 200 dreads with carrier and super support would be a serious attempt, and is well within the capabilities of the CFC. I understand well enough why CCP thinks titans must be nerfed, but it is not because of any game-breaking aspects of the titan itself, but of the unwillingness of both actors to engage in a potentially costly capital fight when the results remain uncertain. As I said before, nobody will really know for certain if titans truly are imbalanced until a serious, concerted effort has been made to kill them. And you don't see it as an issue that titans can (currently) kill any ship attempting to tackle them, without subcap support, before this 'serious attempt' can even organise and form up?
