I know I'm going to get flamed.. but... Shocked

It would be sweet if a undamaged Titan could enter a 10 min self destruct that launches the old style DD attack at the end. Just saying I started playing Eve when the old style DD was around and always wanted to use one even if it would only be on the test server. Plus it would be a sweet way to play chicken if the disarm mechanics had a chance of disarming that was skill based :) 20% per titan skill level with 100% disarm chance at level 5 with a 10 second attempt duration.

60bil to do an explosion that a well fit carrier can tank? Why would anyone bother?

Why limit it to titans though. Make it do damage = armour hp + hull hp x some sort of multiplier, in each ships racial damage type. Range can be somehow based off ship sig radius.

Why is the subject line a lie? You ask "bring back old doomsday" and then the thread asks for something else. Was getting my hopes up.. Sad

I think it should (destroy the titan and destroy half of whatever is around it.. ).. It's a freaking Titan if you want to rig the thing to be a super bomb then do it. The damage output should go up because well.. your blowing up a titan and you only get to do it once. Maybe shouldn't be a 10min timer just a small warm up time thats announced so people have notice to GTFO.

Sorry I forgot that they were tankable in BS. Was merely pointing out the futility of his idea. While i do think that self destruct should do AOE damage, I highly doubt anyone would SD a titan for the paltry damage the ol' school DD used to put out.

Actually, it would be cool when a Titan blew up the old doomsday occurred. Think it shouldn't be optional, and can occur if self destruct occurs as well though BUT the self destruct sequence would need to be much longer. Something like 10 minutes or so.

Old doomsday was the LAG REMOVAL TOOL.

Bring enough Titans, even capital ships go away.

At ultra level, even Titans die Lol

I actually like that idea. Supercaps blowing up when destroyed and taking out everything around them. It seems cool and interesting although it will never happen. It would help with the blobbing in a weird way and it could create the most amazing move. "Bowling titan/s into enemy fleet and blowing it up " F**** yeah!

We need a bigger ship than titans that can destroy titans because there are too many of them.

I will always be an advocate for the Doomsday style that deals dps in a cone area ahead of the titan.

I know it will never work due to server meltdown. just think of all the calculations needed for just one cone DD lol. It would be like having 1000 bombs go off at the same time and we all know what happens to the node when a lot of bombs go off.

20% base dmg and +5%/level of doomsday device
fully trained it would relieve the enemy of 45% of their hitpoints yet still need a supportfleet to kill them off ?

something like that instead of a set 500000000 gazillion dmg

This. I say we strap some rockets on an outpost.

no when the target has 55% left and next DD hits it takes max 45% of that targets hitpoints

so infact a titan would never be able to kill anything nomatter how many they are...... :P

or something like it :)
