Be careful of what you do with it in your corp.

Wouldn't want to one day suddenly find yourself in a bubble
then a cyno goes up
then a TEST fleet of hurricanes and a bunch of PL titans appear
then you get a lossmail for your titan
then you see GF in local
then a newbie pods you.

I think that the short answer to your question is- both!
A titan is a great advantage to a corp or alliance, but a massive hinderance to the poor bastard that flies it.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice for the greater good.

Sometimes, the sacrifice is to keep the other side's killboard nice and green. Don't fit your titan badly, people will laugh.

- Can't dock
- Won't fit through mission jumpgates
- Minmatar and Caldari ones are pretty ugly


leviathan looks awesome wtf you smoking.


as for OP

if you are in a titan 99% of the time you will be logged off to avoid death
the other 1% you will probably be BRIDGING fleets to fights, IMO, not worth it unless you are rich.

You could also use titans to shoot structures. It's can be a lot faster and safer since you won't even have to wait out a siege cycle, you can jump in, shoot structure (getting cap) and then jump to the next immobile target, if I understand correctly.

So you can bridge AND shoot structures, Double the fun !
