Might as well put cap rechargers, a few sensor boosters, and officer webs in the mids.
And guns in the highs? Wouldn't another officer neut + smartbombs be a better choice?

Edited by: Hannobaal on 01/07/2008 16:19:01 I don't understand the point of the nanofiber. If all you want is agility, an inertial stabilizer is far superior to a nanofiber.
Edit: Isn't this the best proof that there are too many Titans now that people are getting lol kills like this? --------------------------

Whats your thoughs about this fit? Any improvements?
Yes many improvements, first off, you shouldn't armor tank it as there is no point. If your tackled your gonna go down like a brick anyhow. I-stabs and nanofibers are the way to go and a nomad implant set.
[Implants] Low Grade Nomad Set [Lows] 3 T2 I-Stabs 3 Domination Nanofibers
[Mids] 2 Officer Cap Rechargers Gist X Proton Hardener 2 Dread Invul fhields Officer or Complex shield amp Cap Shield Booster
[High] 3 2500mm Autos 2 Officer SB Officer Neut Jump Port DDD
[Rigs] 2 Polycarbon Engine Housing I 1 Polycarbon Engine Housing II
Gives it a 10 second align time, it would be ready to warp out even before the DDD is done. Jump in, drop DDD, warp out. It's job is done for the day.
This is good, aside from the guns.
Titans don't use guns. You'd be better off with a cloak and more smartbombs, or more neuts.
My favorite part was the skill remark. That made my day |

Insane to fly a titan without a cloak fyi, and not that it really matters on a titan, but local hull istabs give the same agility bonus for less of a sig radius penalty.
On topic- This titan fit was indeed horrible (1 nano and an armor tank? no rigs? t2 smartbombs? can you seriously tell me that this is a good fit?). Plus it seems unlikely that lag materialized out of nowhere so warping a titan into a situation where you know its going to lag to **** is probably not such a good idea, just saying.
But in the end, this is a troll OP and all so whatever .

Thats worse.
1) A cyno is an easy easy "Warp-to-me" sign for any hic in the system. And a cyno on grid? 2) The cap will show on grid but likely not loaded for the pilot for at least 5 seconds with little lag 3) With lag it might take 30-60 (plus) seconds for the grid to load. 4) There isn't any way to be already aligned to the next sling for after the doomsday.
Warping from grid to grid with lag seems to be fairly dangerous. A cyno seems to be pure suicide unless it has a massive cap fleet to follow.

Fair enough. /me tips hat.
Originally by: Stab Wounds ...
Never ever put guns on a titan. The only titan that has ever sported guns (afaik) has been CCP on the test server. The highs are simply too important for other mods. And if those guns are useful you're hosed. Guns on a titan have poor dps which is the least of their problems.
And trimarks assume you're going to be shot. Cap rigs are probably a good idea. More so with a double armor rep setup.
Clone vat bay is mostly a waste. Let motherships or rorquals use that if absolutely required.
Needs cloak, neuts, smartbombs, etc.

That makes sense for quick warp-outs. Not stacking-nerfed with istabs or agility rigs, either.
Quote:
[Lows] 3 T2 I-Stabs 3 Domination Nanofibers
T2 istabs are pointless. Best-named T1 improve agility by the same amount as T2, but with a much smaller sig radius penalty. I realize sig radius reduction on a Titan is rather pointless, but still... And the Thukker faction istabs are even better, if someone would just cash in the LP points for them. :)
Quote:
[Rigs] 2 Polycarbon Engine Housing I 1 Polycarbon Engine Housing II
This doesn't make much sense to me. The istabs are providing most of the agility boost. And the Domi nanofibers are stacking penalized with polycarbs, so you're really gimping the agility boost by relying on stacking-nerfed polys/nanos. Now, it also occurs to me that even a highly-stack-nerfed nanofiber will still remove several million kg of mass from a Titan, and might still be effective relative to a smaller ship. But won't agility rigs provide a better boost to align/warp-off speed than all those polys/nanos?

I know guns aren't needed, I just thought it would look cool. Sure it would need a cloak and more neuts, but I don't fly one so it never came to me.
I guess fitting bested named I-stabs is fine, not gonna make a major difference.
Your right that the rigs get stacked, in fact removing the 2 T1's and just putting on 2 T2's and then a cap rig would still make it warp faster by about 0.4 seconds than the 3 poly rigs. 
Originally by: "stabwounds" armor tank so it takes 1 mins to align
You missed the whole point of what the titan's role is, it's not suppose to tank, it can't ever tank if it's caught by a 15 man dread fleet. It's the same with every other titan. Nano it and it will live longer than that 30 billion cormack fitted tanked titan.
So pretty much the update would be.

To be honest, you might as well remove the amp and put something else on, maybe another cap recharger, but there is no point to making to cap recharge uber fast as it takes 10 min to jump out after a DDD and an hour to do another DDD. Besides once you jump, it's only gonna use up 71% of your cap out of 120 k at max skills, which leaves more than enough to set off a DDD when you jump in.

Originally by: Sokratesz
He had trimarks. But it was a very poor fit nonetheless, although that wasnt what killed him, the lag did. He spent so long loading grid that by the time he could see it, he was swarmed and his cap was down.
Originally by: Sokratesz
Yes it was, read my post. Without lag he could have dd'ed and gotten out but when he finished loading the grid he was tackled and neuted already. Way to go ccp.
Originally by: Sokratesz
Point is, without lag, he couldve aligned, DD, warped, before they got to him. Most of their caps were stuck in bubbles at the time. Also without lag we could have cleared HICS/DICS much more effectively if they did get on him.
Lag is a very poor excuse of what went wrong. First you eigther passiv tank a Titan and remoterepair it with carriers or you nano it so it can align "fast" and warp off to a safespot.
This Titan use to be Active tanked, which is just stupid cause as soon as he set of a doomsday device he kills most of his own cap plus he gets tackeld and neutralized .(one dd won't kill a heavy Interdictor nor a well tanked "rr battleship") Also more than half of the Titans gear was T2. clearly a *facepalm*.
Second, why was no one helping him? I mean a good Fleetcommander should know if a Titan from your own Alliance is nearby. And it seams that there where enough Carriers in your fleet to boost him and help him out of this mess. though it would have been a risk to the carriers to "save a Supercapital" but that's what an Alliance is about, help eachother out when there's a problem.

Edited by: Zaran Darkstar on 02/07/2008 11:24:44 Apart from the lack of rigs (not shown in the screenshot- i don't know if thats a bug) I find severe the lack of DCII. Along with the installation of a nanofiber makes it even worse. 
Now in EFT this fitting gives around 3220 omni tank which is not great. I would prefer shield tanking that with 2 estamel invulnerability fields and the rest tech 2 would be able to perma omni tank with resistences at around 86% for 8225 dps.
Also i would install gang modules and not the useless smartbombs.
But yeah probably would still go down. Maybe some terrible mistake of the FC along with tremendous lag cannot be beaten no matter what fitting on has... |

Lemme let you in on a secret...2 sieging dreads is all you need to kill a titan if its tackled, itll take bit, but thats all you need. Get as many as TCF had, and its going to melt. The hit and run method is pretty much the way to go in most cases, it just happens that said titan pilot in this case was ********.

other than having no rigs i dont see a prbolem with the fit, and dont know why people seem to think everything has to be officer, every time i titan has died thus far an officer fit would not have helped them, and givien more to the attacking force in loot and more of a loss for the owner, but meh!

Any sort of tanking usually wouldn't help much.
The pilot is hosed. Either they ignore tanking and fit to kill dictors/hics. Or they fit some sort of tank. Either way everyone will treat it as a comedy killmail. One more reason not to fly titans.
Smart bombs are required to kill fighters, drones, and scare away dictors. With a few smartbombs going most of the dps from carriers can be countered. If the titan can still move and maintain a traversal that will negate much of the damage from dreads. So smartbombs are required.
Gang modules have their own issues. As it has been discovered, best to keep titans outside of large gangs. Better to keep a titan in its own gang so that it can safely afk cloak at a safe spot, etc.
So the majority of the time titans wouldn't give gang bonuses unless they're sitting at a pos.

In the case of an invasion wouldnt it be smarter to use a jump bridge then warp to a ceptor or sumthing off grid and then fly on grid let it load and then possibly warp to a fleet member with in the proper distence to let the DDD fly?

Originally by: Kazuo Ishiguro Do people ever bother with clone vat bays on titans?
Often not even motherships bother with them.
The titan must be outside of a POS shields. It enters a type of siege mode where it can't move for something like 5 minutes. Then if someone has set a jump clone and hasn't already jumped in 24 hours they can jump to the titan.
So it could be used with a fair bit of prior planning. On the other hand if the system is held well enough to take the risk, whats the point? Use carriers to jump in spare battleships. Get the pods in using ceptors and nanos.
