It's a bit amusing how theres so many posts on the forums complaining about alliances not using their titans, but when someone actually does and loses it they're ridiculed for it.

---

We ridiculed Nebba for fitting it the way he did, not for using it.

---

Because using it and dying with tens of billions worth of mods on it is way better then using it and dying with only losing the ship? Would he have survived with super expensive mods on, or would it have just been an even more costly loss?

when a person looses a supercapital the situation is often either preventable, or solid. when nebba jumped into a system within warprange of an entire capital fleet he sealed his fate. however his shitty fitting, may have been the difference between surivival and death in other situations. things like having a good enough tank to make it back inside the shield, having good enough smartbombs to scare dictors and destroy citadel torps can be quite important, having sensor boosters to use your wasp EC- drones, and officer webs to have a chance to kill dictors.

the reason people laugh at shitty fittings on a titan is because it CAN make a difference. if you do something stupid like nebba, no fitting will save you, but that doesn't change the fact in other situations it might.

I can't argue with what you've said. However I will raise this point; 2 shitty fit titans is better than 1 "pimped" titan. This may not be the case with nebba, however it could of been with the isk saved(greed always plays a role). All the extra couple resist %, couple km's and few hundred or so dmg, or even the extended web range from awesome mods would be better placed in a 2nd dd. In normal occurrences ofc, pilot error and lack of skill on personal and alliance level always plays a part. However the isk saved on mods and instead invested in a 2nd titan could very well of made up for his mistake in that fight, 2nd dd could have easily given him the time to escape to safety. Ofc nothing is certain and all,.. everything I'm writing is speculation however imagine how many titans would be held by the other alliances if instead of putting tens of billions of mods on a single one, they instead invested that isk in more titans.
