EVE General Discussion

I will still be driving while you are wrapped around a tree on fire.

You best be trollin' dude.

In fact most ships CAN kill any ship which is less expensive than it - provided that they are fit properly for the task. To use your example, if you want a Raven to blow up a Rupture, then fit your Raven with an AB/MWD, web, point, target painter and a heavy neut. I guarantee you that the Raven will come out on top in a 1v1 engagement. Sure you might have to armor tank your Raven (LAWL), but it will work for the job.

You're talking about cost.

Here's an analogy for you:

1999 BMW E36
0-60 in 5.6secs
Top speed 155mph
Cost - around £4000 / $6100

2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2i
0-60 in 13.6secs
Top speed 107mph
Cost - around £9000 / $13900

Now compare their fuel useage per mile.

So, just like in real life, Eve should follow the rule that "more expensive" is always better in all things.

You're a poor troll.

Lol - how very zen of you. Or something

Hai Gais I hear See See Pee are nerfung thunderclap wizards of the grey up
North. We mist dooooo somethink.

I'll print posters and we'll Mince our way through Ealing broadway on a saturday to show them we mean bizznizz

ill postr somethng but i am erating popcron now one sec

EDIT: Ok i'm good now.

Good thing that i was unable to post for awhile there because i had half a mind to troll you back. But i wont now. Knowing about the latest trend of clueless posters, i'll try to show you the error of your suggestion.

Ships are expensive in EVE because they are increasingly specialized in whatever task they perform. The more specialized, the higher the cost.

So lets take the Titan for instance. Do you even know what a Titan's intended role is? It is NOT supposed to be an i-win button capable of single-handely demolishing entire fleets. It is supposed to be the ultimate fleet-command ship. That is why it has all those fleet bonuses and the jump-bridge capability. And it does such a good job on that role.. it has such a big strategical value that the ship costs more than any single person should be able to achieve in a life-time of EVE gameplay.


Now, lets take a look at the RORQUAL. Do you know what a Rorqual role is? Its role is to act as the ultimate mining fleet-command ship. And it is. It is NOT supposed to be able to MINE on its own, and so it doesn't. If you ever try to mine with a rorqual you will see what i am talking about. It also costs 4 billion ISK but in all-out combat (a role for which this ship was NOT designed) it sucks donkey anus. It can tank a lot, and it can dish out damage (with sentries), but that is not is primary role.



Do you see the problem there (i'm not asking you THINK there is a problem. There is one, regardless of your opinion)? The rorqual performs its role admirably, but it sucks at mining even though it is a mining fleet-command ship. The titans, however, perform their own role as a combat fleet-command ship just as admirably however it ALSO performs very well as an all-out combat ship.

According to CCP game designers they never intended for players to hoard these like James Bond hoards STD's, so they didn't planned for alliances using dozens (yes, dozens) of Titans in one single engagement.


The result? The Titan performs so well at all-out combat that alliances now use them as combat ships in-lieu of using them as fleet-support. And the idea that Titans are pure combat ships are so entrenched in these people minds that they cannot stand the idea of a Titan becoming to direct combat what the Rorqual is to direct mining.



So we have people like you who spent a shitload of money on a ship because they wanted an overpriced battleship instead of a strategical support asset, now moaning because CCP seems to have realized the error of their ways (same goes with Super Carriers, btw...).




We have a name for your kind. Carebears. We also have a suggestion to you. Harden The F Up.

Well see while you were showing off your Porcsche GT3 RS at the starting line, I had a buddy of mine shove a potato in your tail pipe so you couldn't move and i won.



The above statement is a better analogy of how the eve universe works.

Amarr Titan Skill Bonuses: 100% bonus to Capital Energy Turret damage per level 7.5% bonus to gang members' capacitor recharge rate per level 99% reduction in CPU need for Warfare Link modules Can fit Judgement Super Weapon Can fit Jump Portal Generator Can fit Clone Vat Bay Can fit 1 additional Warfare Link module per level Immune to all forms of Electronic Warfare

1. 100% bonus to capital energy turret damage per level.
2. 7.5% bonus to gang members capacitor recharge rate per level. 37.5% at level 5...
3. Can fit Doomsday devices... (getting nerfed)
4. Can create jump portals...
5. You can clone at it...
6. You can use up to 6 warfare link modules...
7. You are immune to all forms of electronic warfare!

Number 3 is getting nerfed to fit its purpose. Or are you upset because you believe everyone should only fly capitals? Because a couple titans are capable of destroying all sub capital ship on the playing field very easily. And being able to reach 12 million EHP very very easily, doesn't hurt either...

Honestly If you don't think they are worth the money because of the changes to number 3, than you should have uninstalled a while ago. Just saying.

You can certainly dream. If I'd wasted a bunch of isk on a titan I'd want some way to distract myself from titan nerfs too.

i should be able to fit estamel's invulns on a drake and absolutely murder an erebus!!!!!!
