The character was also a titan pilot. In fact, several of those in the top 10 killers of NPCs yesterday were titan pilots.


Should it be allowed?

That's 2.5 rats a minute if he was doing it 23.5 hours of the day.

How long does it take a BS pilot to recoup the cost of his ship/fittings ratting

compare to Titans to recoup his

now factor in the added risk.


If its completely outta whack fix, if not dont.

Hint: Its prolly not

Does it matter? still risking a ton of ISK

Maybe Titans needs rebalancing, just think their PvE prowess isnt much of an issue >>

How many titans have been seen outside massive blobs or POS shields?

Honestly, I don't care how well a Titan PvEs. If you spend that much time and isk to kill rats, more power to you

As for how many he killed, I don't know the guy, maybe he just put in a loooooonnnngggggg day of Eve. There were a couple times I've been on from downtime to downtime. All it takes is being on vacation, and having a horrible perception of the passage of time.

isk NEVER is a balancing factor...NEVER. Titans once where deem expensive and rare...look at them now, used for ratting...pathetic.

Oh and btw, this guy with 3000 npc kills/day gets 90/Bil a month...enough for a couple ratting Titans.

You're in for a titanic task to get something superbalanced out of this thread, OP.

Is this factoring in ammo cost?

Which might be a decent way balance it, make it more expensive to shoot rats, less profits, no nerf

If it's an Avatar, ammo is free. If it's anything else, ammo can be manufactured at really low prices.

ISK is not a reliable balancing factor and shouldn't be.

34 seconds to log out a client and log it back in with a second character on the same account. Because you can't have the same client logged in twice the first despawns.
So you have 34 seconds to kill the Titan. Good luck

people in this thread need to stop bitching about statistics they are pulling out of their anus and start following the twitter feed for real data.
