Warfare & Tactics

eh it isn't really laughable. And I don't know bout you specifically but I've been hotdropped in a situation like you stated more than once and to be honest you either are quick enough on your feet to escape or you die. Thats the point of a titan bridge it is the ONLY way to reliably ambush someone in an age of neutral scouts in all directions. Also while yes there are groups that hotdrop blob on anything that moves that is no different than sitting on a highsec gate blapping anything that jumps in. One just requires a scout cyno to move around to find the target. Also in my time in lowsec I can't think of a single fight larger than 5v5 that involved gate jumping. I can however think of dozens of instances where a fleet that outnumbered my group quite heavily ran away as soon as we were spotted a few jumps out by their scouts. We later slipped a cyno in and got a good fight out of them with a titan bridge. Without the bridge they would just be able to continue their risk adverse blobbing while using their scouts to run at the first sign of anything resembling a fair fight. Also most people with titans aren't completely random never before seen types. They are mostly well known and if they aren't they get that way VERY quickly as well as their cyno alts and scouts. Removing titan bridges will reduce PvP not increase it IMO.


EDIT: on the using RR for crashing gate camps comment. That RR is useless if they just run to station as soon as you are scouted a ways out.

Lmfao op i dnt think you belong in losec

nothing wrong with bridgeing on targets have done it and have had it done to me

if you cant adapt to your area gtfo

Its not that hard realy it isnt a lttle teamwork and youll see it before it happens

Edit: is it just me or latly eve seems full of whineing pansys that want get the game changed to suit them almost every thread is a whine or nurf thread

try enjoying the game for what it is eve everyone vs everyone go play ffs

This part of your post is hilariously wrong.

Also, shadow cartel honors all pre-arranged fights.

DnD defends hotdropping? No way

EDIT: Titans are fine, they've been nerfed enough in their life.

seems OP is looking for fair fights in his post but then we find out hes a gate camper who just wants to gank 1/2 ppl jumping unsuspecting thru gates and wen someone drops him when hes not expecting it cries ... also seems a little jelous of those that can afford to buy/own a titan.. that green eyed envy monster is bad for u mate but if u do want one grind like those who own one had to.... ur tears are delicious

You mean a handful of ****** t1 bc's, a scout and maybe a repper? Because that's about the scariest thing we've ever roamed into your home system in.. We keep downshipping in the hopes we might actually get a fight out of you guys :P You know you're capable of fielding that sort of a fleet too, right?



Go through our loss boards and see how many ships we lose that are fit w/ Cynos.. Go on, you will have a hard time finding any.

If you had any ability to intel-gather at all, you would know that respecting 1v1's and pre-arranged fights is a founding principle of our alliance, and failure to comply with that golden rule on the part of anyone of our pilots results in ejection from our corp.

It's not like it's not written on our alliance description or anything.

TL;DR Yes, titan bridging is a bit broken. too bad you are complaining about all the wrong things.

Ok my two cents:

1. Lol stop whining

2. Some real ideas:

First, if you make titans only able to bridge in null systems. If you just made the Titan go with the ships it would solve a lots if problems. People wouldn't want to risk their shiny Titan. Add main thence cost of 100 bil a week somehow, and massively increase the cost of the hull(A tril?) that will wack down proliferation. Also make it so that a Titan can only be cynoed onto a carrier equipped with a capital cyno mod. When the cyno was up it would take 60 seconds to complete the jump. Make the mass it very small, maybe enough for 5 cruisers, but make it able to bridge 2,500 pods, and boost up the ship hangar size to maybe 100 battleships worth of m3. "WTF why would u do that?" u ask. Well this would make the people who were bridging actually plan and throw a POS down with lots of shops in it to the system they were bridging into. This would take some time for all the people to ship out, giving the defenders plenty of warning if they are smart. It also removes hot drops in effect, and it would make bridging far more dangerous especially since the Titan would be jumping too. Another element of this change would be that you could only bridge from a system that u hold sov in. Not only that, but if u only hold sov in just that system, u can only bridge 5ly. If you are bridging from a constellation that you hold all the sov in u bridge 10ly. If u cantrolle a region u bridge 15ly. This adds insentive to actually defend all your system, and it massively cuts Titan jump range. If more then one jump portal is active in a constellation then any othertitans trying to bridge in that system can only jump half of what their range would have been. Titans get a slight dmg and tracking boost to offset these nerfs. In fact, they are able to apply about 5 battleships worth of dps (around 3000) to subcaps BC and up. However, whenever a sub capital weapon hits a Titan it ignores all resist, rigs, or reinforcers that the Titan might have fitted. Skills and implants still give bonuses, but omplanrs are only half as effective. So sure, u can absolutely destroy a subcaps fleet with 50 titans, but 5 titans, maybe even ten, will die. What happens when ure bubbled and a enemy nags sniper fleet gets yah? Lol isk efficiency for that battle is gone. Sure u killed 150 battleships, but u lost 20 titans. That balnces titans fairly nicely I think.

All this was done on a iPhone so forgive grammar and spelling.

you'r so funny

nope, i helped kill one tho.

anywho you're making your corp look like **** when you start posting zero content (kinda like your pvp style i imagine)

"wahhh i got titanbridged on , nerf titans wahhh" Getting titan bridged on is like getting scammed , if you fall for it then you deserve it.

Titan bridging is easy to counter , be prepared for it or warp the **** off when a cyno goes up instead of going "Hmmm..there's a shiney orb next to the ship we are Ganking....i should do something....but what is it.....HMMMMMMM...OH YES , I SHOULD GET THE **** OUT."
( Here's a kicker. If you get bridged on , you were most likely ganking somebody. But you probably forgot that with the cry's of terror when you saw a cyno huh and went "that's unfair! i was ganking this poor soul!" )

Anywho....
There is a considerable delay between jumping through a bridge to a cyno and loading grid. also if you account for the pilot(s) reaction time to actually click jump , load grid and lock you up it's about 4-6 seconds. PLENTY of time for you to make a decision to warp off, burn away or brawl. You may lose the poor scrub who got tackled but this is eve, **** explodes all the time.
If you find this unfair , go back to highsec where you belong because you aren't in the correct mindset to be in low/null.
