I realize the i am about to get shot down for this and it won't be popular but if you listen it does man a lot of sense

I think that instead of nerfing super and titans into the ground they should be made more available to newer alliances a titan should cost about as much to build as a super and a super should be half that and they should be able to dock.

before you all say i what just no. The reason for this because everyone winges supers and titans are bad blah blah blah however by reducing the cost of the and allowing them to dock you allow for smaller alliances without the massive income of the larger alliances to have access to similar capability's to drop supers and to bridge etc etc.

supers and titans are here to stay ether way we will see more and more of them due to SP and isk per player rising the only way to truly fix this issue is to make them available to everyone

please post constructive criticism only Lol

No

I have a reason too, if you make supers\titans cheaper so that smaller alliances can afford them then everyone in the larger alliances will have them.

There's already too many in the game as it is, they were never meant to be a ship that solo pilots would have, they were meant as alliance assets.

Your small man alliance who would struggle and claw it's way to get it's ceo into a super would feel awesome, right up until 1000 goons appeared in system, all in supers and destroyed everything in 10min.

Seriously, a Nyx can take down a poco in about 15min.

Imagine what the goons could do if most of their members had them because they became cheaper and more affordable.

goodbye pocos, hello goco.

"Hey guys we all agree that there are already way to many titans in the game and large powerblocks are beginning to use them like they are pocket change . . . lets just make them cheaper so that more are built."

Constructive criticism it is:

- For every one titan that a small alliance makes with reduced costs the larger blocks will built twenty.

- The mineral price of an object is supposed to determine its power (without getting into the whole 'everything in eve has about 1000.5 counters to it' web of rock paper scissors). So if you reduce the build price of the just the titan by over half then you need to nerf it accordingly, which would be to the ground, and players don't like it when their assets get changed. Just imagine spending 80 bil on an item and then all of the sudden its only worth 35 bil and has 1/4 the power. Because the market is dynamic CCP won't reimburse ISK like they do the rare skillpoints when they change those up.

- Like the guy above me said, supercaps are meant to be signs of power and status, wouldn't making even more result in a "power inflation" of sorts, thus making large powerblocks, like the goons, ego worthless? Wait. . . I may be on to something here!

Make this happen so that the goons ego becomes worthless!

On a more serious note . . . No.

Even the goons are shooting you down.

A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver.
