Alright, let's play a game.

CCP creates a new ship that is to Titans what Titans are to everything else -- some sort of uber super monster mega ship.

The game is answering these questions:


  1. What does this ship do?
  2. How much does this ship cost (or what is required to build it) in order to keep it actually rare?

1. It makes friends
2. Only a moment of your time

You need to dedicate 25x POS to "supplying" the ship or it loses all bonuses.
It takes 1 week to move it half way across the galaxy
It can't hit anything sub cap no matter what it does.

You can dock on it, basically a mobile station.
It can't disappear when the owner logs off.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

IT would be an Iapetus titan. It would have a variety of scary weapons. It would be unique for a year or two, then everyone would have one. It would be rather redundant.

Aka the "Super P.I.T.A. Titan" (mobile mining station)

They're called artificial moons.

It can remote-kill a titan from 10 jumps away, but only once every two months.

It's a station-sized object that can't be piloted, just "controlled". It can be taken over by putting up contracts for Dust players. To build it, you need to control an orbital structure that you can only take over using Valkyrie.

Win/win/win.

T1t0n:

1) Destroy what is left of Eve
2) Doesn't have a pricetag, still becomes commonplace vOv

TL;DR No pls.

I figure it would be some kind of capital eating monster ship.

With a supercapital tractor beam that can infi-point and drag enemy ships towards it, making them explode as soon as they crash into the deathships hull.

It would have directional AOE doomsdays i.e. everything 10 degrees in front of its nose gets annihilated.

It would be able to "cyno slam-dunk" on top of an enemy subcap / capital fleet and destroy them all upon landing, but then be stuck in space for the next 24 hours.

It would have a ship maintenance array capable of housing dozens of motherships.

It would only be destroyable by capturing it via entosis.

Tim: There he is!
King Arthur: Where?
Tim: There!
King Arthur: What? Behind the venture?
Tim: It *is* the venture!
King Arthur: You silly sod!
Tim: What?
King Arthur: You got us all worked up!
Tim: Well, that's no ordinary venture.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered carebear you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my capsule I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that venture's got a vicious streak an AU wide! It's a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You manky Scots git!
Tim: I'm warning you!
Sir Robin: What's he do? Nibble your scordite?
Tim: He's got huge, blaptastic... er... He can MJD about. Look at the drones!
King Arthur: Go on, Mittens. Chop his head off!
Sir Mittens: Right! Silly little bleeder. One ORE gasm comin' right up!



Yeah, I'd make it indistinguishable from a Venture but stronger than a Titan combined with a Supercarrier.

Or, they could just take a fleet blob, connect all the ships, and call it the whole thing a new ship. Save us the trouble of forming blobs and trying to keep them tightly packed; everybody just jump into the "super-titan."

To be completely honest... sometimes I wonder of the titans in game now are pointless. Making something larger, even if it could be done, would just be silly.

suggesting to start playing a game requires the previous game to have stopped. considering this game started in 2003 and has since then never stopped, you can't start a new game.






















oh and also obligatory THE GAME

Big terminus:

Jove tech 20 cannon platform (technically a ship but with a four hundred year align time, it is simply easier to consider it an immobile platform).

Ammo: one star ( which the gun can compress into a black hole be forces not understood outside Jove space ).

Launches a black hole at the center of New Eden, and we are all forced to play another game, cuz EVE is sucked in and devoured.

First alliance to make one wins EVE.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

The Soul taker

Fitted with capital tractor beams that can drag in pods during a fight and bring them on board. The character who has had their pod taken can log in but will be taken to an alternate to a captains quarters which would look like a cell. Held for ransom etc.

Would add a new dimension to fights E.G. Protect well known FC's (ELO, Mr Vee). To prevent complete character shut out maybe a time limit on how long you can be held for. To prevent players from not paying the ransom because they know they have a set time of capture maybe a penalty of some kind like the t3 skill point loss just as an example. Or the ability to confiscate articles of clothes permanently (E.G. Monocle) LOL.

As well as tractor beams it has capital salvager that can salavge ships while they are still alive. Upon a successful cycle of the salvager a random module from the targeted ship is taken.

I'm laughing just thinking of ships like this.
