Reilly Duvolle Hydra Squadron 454	Posted - 2012.03.27 17:53:00 - [1] - Quote Greyscale, you have yourself said that CCP has moved away from the idea of Titans as subcapital killers. So why not take the consequence of that and remove all turrets and missile slots, and rebalance the DD so at Titan can dish out approximately the same damage as before? And then you also adjust it so that a DD can hit structures (with reduced damage, roughly equvalent to old turret DPS). Problem solved. Personally I think Titans belong in EVE. An Epic game needs Epic battles, Epic ships and Epic losses. If you dont want supercaps to kill subcaps, I am also fine with that. But logically, if titans isnt able to touch subcaps, subcaps should ideally NOT be able to touch (as in damage) titans. Right now however, there is just too few options for a true combined arms capital battlefield for this to be practical. The capital lineup is far too simplistic and offer too few options compared to the subcap lineup. What I cannot understand is why CCP insist on further bandaiding what the CSM last year called the "sucking chestwound" of EVE Online instead of just bite the bitter apple and do a complete revamp of capital warfare? EVE is 9 years old. It has currently about 11.000 active players with more than 100 million skillpoints. Its GREAT that you make the game more accessible for newer players. But vets WILL leave (dont trust your statisics departement on this) if you dont start to understand that you have to cater for this player segment as well.

Reilly Duvolle Hydra Squadron 455	Posted - 2012.03.28 17:43:00 - [3] - Quote Stop torturing both yourself and the community. Remove all gun- and missileslots from titans, boost doomsday dps to compensate and be done with it. Its where this thing is headed anyway.

Thats a pretty neat way to beat your enemy supercap fleet. Someone at some point must decide to deploy supers, but why would anyone do it if they wont do a thing that gives u any advantage considering its high cost? Now, if you make structures vulnerable to supers/caps only, it would be ok I guess... Isn't that what everyone wants? Supers/caps beeing "alliance assets"? If your alliance wants sov, you have to assemble your supercap fleet. I dont say I agree. I only say that since CCP has expressively stated that they see titans as a pure anti-capital ship, its the only logical solution.
Reilly Duvolle Hydra Squadron 456	Posted - 2012.03.29 14:55:00 - [5] - Quote Basically there are a lot of things you can do to Titans, but the question remains, what fix will be easy to implement, and achive the stated goals with no spillover in the short term, while you consider the future of capital warfare in the longer term (christmas release?) So why dont you just consider removing the guns and missiles altogether, modify the DD to compensate for lost DPS? I havent seen you comment on this idea so far Greyscale, even if several has proposed it.

Would require us to do an upgrade script to remove all the suddenly-illegal weapons on patch day, which introduces too much overhead for it to be a viable option for this release. Then drop the script (at least for now). Declare XL weapons on Titans to be an exploit after patch-day and get the players to remove them themselves. GMs sort out non-compliance cases. Its not like Titan pilots are your typical casual player likely to miss something like this anyway so I suspect the GMs wont have too many cases to handle.

That's an incredibly hacky way of doing it and not really a precedent we want to be setting. Oh I completely understand that the very thought probably affects every fiber in your body in a bad bad way But it would at least mean an unexploitable solution to the problem which is perfectly alligned with your explicitly stated goal of what a Titan should do instead of all this mucking about Oh well. At least I tried.

Rather than depicting the size of the munition itself, the sig resulution can be more accurately described as the size of the blast area when the munition hits. Within that area, damage will be applied.
