Not sure if has been mentioned in here yet, but with the increasing numbers of Titans that are being built, wouldn't someone be thinking about perhaps a new ship class that is designed to combat the growing threat? Something bigger, stronger, and completely mind-blowing? I'm sure there are a ton of big alliances out there that would love to sink their teeth into something that dwarfs even the mighty Titans....Twisted

Anyone have any ideas for the next monster ship class?

How about rather than bigger is better, they just create a smaller ship that is designed for nothing but super cap crushing.
Pocket dread; a gun with engines attached, etc.

Honestly, the last thing we need to do is to try and counter supercap proliferation with super-supercap proliferation. And how would this benefit anyone BUT the largest alliances and coalitions, who already have divided null-sec into 3-4 blocks and renter empires? This would do nothing but make it even harder for upstart groups to get a foothold in sov-null (a feat which is already incredibly difficult).

CFC, N3, PL (N3+PL are sometimes considered together, sometimes not), Rus, Proviblock (less of a unified "block" and more of a rag-tag Switzerland). So most generously, 5 blocks in fact + renters.

That way lies madness. You'd just want bigger and bigger ships.

There is a game, Star Ruler, that allowed you to size your ships. It starts out with small ships, before you know it you're building ships the size of multiple solar systems, whose flak cannons AOE effects can accidently destroy planets & suns.

It is entertaining when you have galaxy spanning warships that launch death stars as defense fighters, though.

In theory you will get your wish for at least "one" larger ship class, or at least something on-par with titans. Unless CCP lied of course.

It'll be called "motherships", they removed the title from the now called supercarriers, so that a new super-capital could use it down the road. Now if and when these will ever exist... thats anyone's guess.

if we keep this escalation up, eventually we'll just start using planets as weapons

we nee large ships just as much as we all need to eat a large bag of sunflower seeds, shells and all. It'll work its way out in the end, but itll hurt like hell till its all done.

Good idea, EvE need new extra big ship, capable of vaporizing goon or PL threat.

actually - what EVE needs is ships that you can throw away to one-shot a titan, they should have low mat req's and high sp req's, and your pod gets lost in the process too, however they're only good vs titans, and would die to a noobship piloted by someone with the same skills (but they can cov-ops cloak)

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

i'd love a never ending power creep where every time we build a bunch of big ships, we introduce some more big ships.
