When have we ever denied having our own supercap fleet? We have one of the biggest fleets in the game and we are fine with the nerfs because we see how overpowered they are.
If you want to be mad at somebody blame all the horrible alliances that have been exploiting titans for the last couple years by blowing up frigates with them and bragging about how ~elite~ they are.

If I spent RL plex & a year + of trainning I'd be howling too. NERF BAT is a horrible tool and never should be used IMHO a better solution would be buffing something or some other counter. All these NERFs reminds me of the eye for an eye arguement (look at my toon not only am I blind my tin foil hat has a receding line ):
Are you actually stating that the people who spend the most RL money should always win? Are you sure that's where you want the game to go?

I don't tend to feel bad for an Alliance, any alliance in EVE. I try and see it from the individual Pilots perspective. I still haven't been assimilated in to the whole communist, hegemony mindset of EVE.

Those alliances don't treat their titan pilots as individuals so why should you? Besides, it's not like the individual pilots didn't know they were exploiting a broken game mechanic...don't feel bad for them. The artist formerly known as Ladie Scarlet. |

I thought you were fine with the change because your real strength is your sheer number of players. Without powerful ships these other alliance will not be able to stand in the way of your herds.

Silly reply to be honest, Of course you have to have a cap ship that can kill multiple lower class ships otherwise all those alliances that have 4 or 5 times the number of players that your alliance has just steamroller on in. TIDI is just a placebo for people to stop complaining about lag, it's still shite being in a large fleet fight. Just another silly little indicator to look at whilst your waiting for you turrets to fire once every 30 mins.
Just seems like people aren't having an easy time of it and aren't happy that having the numbers makes no difference.

Why not? happens in Modern warfare every day? I'm sure in the future it would be the same as well.

If only there existed capital hulls that could field up to 15 light/medium/heavy/e-war drones and/or sentries and/or fighters at a time ... oh well it would probably break the game so it's probably for the best that there's not.
Cloora wrote:Even Titan owners were expecting a tracking nerf. The scan res nerf is a bit too much IMO. I mean 15 or 20 but 5?? That's a bit extreme...
10-15B is a pretty negligible amount of isk in this economy. Fitting an officer sebo on your 100B isk hull shouldn't be a thing if you really feel the need to squeeze extra performance out of it.
It's not like Titans actually die in this game so I'd say your investment will remain pretty safe right there in your midslot. |

i'm glad that your alliance has prepared itself in anticipation of the inevitable rebalance of one shiptype thanks to your abandonment of the policy of your spiritual predecessors based on scooping up all the high-skillpoint players within arm's reach in favor of recruiting new players into the game and helping them develop their skills

And your point being?Would you like the Army to even the odds up just to make it easier for the enemy to have an "nice little fight" You can assign this logic to any "large" or "overpowered" army piece of kit regardless of age or size. A carrier is still going to sink a **** load of small boats before it goes down, a tank will always kill shitloads of infrantry etc etc
I'm sure the Somalians in their little rigs would love it if the USA would remove the minigun autodetection routines from their carriers thus making easier for them to sink the carrier, somehow I don't think it's going to happen.
If anything CCP need to supply people with the tools to bring these ships down not just nerf the ships so they become useless because "it's easier"
All CCP will do will make it as usual quantity over quality, so if you want to hold the SOV you have just managed to get you have to Blue up/Suck off the local "large" alliance because they have taken away/made it pointless the only thing that makes it awkward for a large fleet to engage.

Brilliant mind at work here.
Why are there so many people that think "Gosh if I only had a ship that would let me defeat the blob, I would has a happy," but they can't seem to look one step further and realize, "Gosh, it would sure suck to have to fight off a blob of those anti-blob ships."

At least not until CCP changes combat mechanics in a way where damage / remote reps does not stack infinitely well.
(One theoretical fix might be that as the debris field builds around the ship each tick, incoming damage gets modulated downward in some fashion. But since the server operates on 1-sec ticks that might just make alpha-fleets even more powerful. Especially if they use a mouse/keyboard distribution tool to make all clients on the PC fire their salvos at the exact same instant.) |

I actually don't care 1 way or the other since I've never felt particularly threatened by goons & always saw thru their scams & laughed but with the Titan nerf announced the refrain: " CCP should just make it so titans cant lock maelstroms and drakes and just get this over with. " seems justified With the current CSM elections going the way they seem to be unless everyone starts voting against MITTENS in a unified fashion Ithink this perception that CCP has a hard on for goons is just going to grow INCREDIBLY!
If you have a numbers problem, better revisit your strategie. If you don't understand that it's bad for you at the end if you want to grow your alliance populace is not by tax those as a pitch, rent space for astronomic amounts of isk with false promises just to get your beloved minerals. What for?- to build more caps and titans and then claim your ubber 1000K man fleet can annihilate a 7.5K man fleet?
Now how far is game breaking a 200man fleet of titans is when it can one shot at the exact same time 200 ships with a single shot and without using a single time their DD, more titans to shoot titans...do you really think goons can't align 1K supers/titans?
For those wining about titans tracking nerf all I have to say is: Tell us all too why is normal battleships can't one shot dramiels at 12Km/s nor 200m/s velators orbiting their guns, please go ahead and explain me that, I'd really like to understand why you should be able to hit my cane orbiting your XL guns at 1200m/sec with 800m rad but still 1200m/sec when you're not supposed to hit whatever under capital size?
The point is that this has nothing to do with goons, it's a game breaking problem that had to be solved by someone and seems they get things done some other couldn't. I don't like some of them more than you do but to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, they're doing some good stuff and this Titan crap is a good thing that I'll support because it's good for the game.
Also:I don't think it's in goons own interest to be blue to everyone just because it can bring numbers, they would get bored and probably collapse (shoot each other they already do that) Try to fight them in small gangs you'll see, they always come to fights and will always give you a fair and good fight. |

But making the largest, strongest and most dangerous cap ship the one that takes out subcaps is a bad, bad idea.
The way I see it, it should be Carriers that take out sub caps and supers but less effective against supers. Supers take out all caps and subcaps but less effective agains subcaps. Dreads and Titans take out all caps and cannot touch subcaps. Exceptions to both Titans/Dreads and Supers on subcaps being if the subcap is webbed and painted properly.

If you are going to ignore the real world than why are you arguing about sanity? It may not happen in the internet spaceship universe you imagine but that doesn't mean IGÇÖm insane if it happens in the one I dream of.
Also look at the Spanish versus the indigenous people of South America. There are slews of examples throughout history where better technology means one soldier can be worth hundreds.
Also your difficulties about getting hundreds of people in drakes doesn't mean it should be an automatic I win button if you succeed. The herd mentality of eve is hardly something that should be promoted even more.
Finally why bring battlecruisers to fight titans? Because every noob in your alliance wants to feel they are just as powerful as players who have invested years of time in the game? Why does the game have to be such that a battlecruiser fleet can beat a titan fleet and the titans can do nothing but bring herds of battcruisers themselves?
