Why would I not just turn off my MWD when I see a levi shooting at me? Given TiDi there is a ton of opportunity to cycle it off before anything hits and then the damage is back to being nothing. |

Another benefit to moving away from the Turret/Launcher Titan to a DD only Titan is that now we have dread fleets required to Hit POS' again.
We want reasons to use others ships too. |

Reilly Duvolle wrote: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.
No no no no no structures, give dreads a role. |

Titans today allready shoot structures. A modified DD would just compensate for the gun removal. But yes, I am all for a capital revamp.
I know bro, I have one, but that doesn't mean it needs to stay the status quo. Titans reinforcing POS' pre-aligned where they can just warp out the minute local goes up by one is boring as hell. Dread Siege mechanic forces fights and there's no reason that requiring Dreads to siege a POS is a bad thing. |

50 bombers can take 100000 Battleships to the ownzone.
**** you and **** balancing this game on Isk. |
