basically fires at star snd destabilises the star for 10 mins and has a random wormhole effect

maybe we could call it a Doomsday Device!

No, if you've got titans on the field, just kill people with them.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Why random? I can imagine PL lining up 10 titans to get the affect they want.
Perhaps racially based or based on the type of star already there?

Also 10 minutes is a very short amount of time.
It should be until downtime maybe or for a few hours?

Also what if you have two titans shoot the same star? One affect could override another, which would be a cool method to get attacking alliances to drop and commit titans.

What class wormhole would the affects be the same as? Big difference between a C1 and C6

Lots of specifics to be had here!

Why can't they have other uses?
Right now they are either just giant dreads with a one shot power or just glorified jump bridge machines that sit in a pos all day.

If different titans had different effects to apply in wormholes then possibly certain titans would accompany specific subcap fleets. (unless your dealing with someone who has 50 titans)

because changing a system's properties for 10 minutes with a DD does less then just shooting crap with said titan... your idea is better, but changing a system to have w-space like bonuses kind of seems like a gimmick more than anything...

It would be far better to see sleeper incursions which do this in my own opinion but thats another topic altogether and a very complicated task

Actually they are GREAT in fleet situations for killing battleships, excellent for killing regular caps, as well the problem is they cost 100 billion each roughly, so using them has to be very low risk for the pilots or they just stay in the pos

I think it would add an entirely new dimension to tactics if certain systems had certain "terrain" that benefited some weapon types over others like in the real world.
