I wonder if the tritanium used in these is counted in the tens of trillions of units, or if it is multiple orders of magnitude more than that.

WTB 1 quadrillion trit...

Ever wonder where that tiny percentage of tritanium the empire refineries take from you every time you refine in one of there stations?, its for the maintenance and constant refitting of there Iapetan titans because the miniral requirements are so huge they decided to siphon some of the miniral income off the capsuleers and have us do some of there work for them. :-P

Wow - thanks for this post. I never knew about this at all. Makes me want to go back and read over more of the chronicles and lore history.

Nice job :)

I do believe some chronicles were deleted, especially the oldest ones. I was digging into the chronicles page and noticed that some chronicles that I remember were surely there, just don't appear on the list as it exists today. a shame, really Sad

I've been talking to CCP t0rfifrans about putting together another book similar to EVE: Source and EVE: The Art Of New Eden that focuses solely on ships from a technical standpoint.

Titans would definitely be part of that.


I'd love to see more exploration of the tech of New Eden. Really it's kind of amazing the empires haven't wiped each other out considering they have advanced Nano-tech, spacial compression, highly advanced cloning and bio-tech, readily available anti-matter, and plasma shielding, not to mention jump gates and hyper-drive tech just to name a few off the top of my head.

Exploring how the ships function with all of this available to them would be hugely interesting.

As Agent Tarquin Smith said, the jovians wish to keep all empires on equal ground so none of them will ever win.

To quote him:
Quote:
One empire invents Jump Drive technology, leading to the development of capital ships. and suddenly, all of them have this technology. I hear the Minmatar have recently made their breakthrough, in the system of Hek.

I am sure Chribba can afford it. He must have had an inside information years ago, so that's why he is mining all that Veldspar - to be the only owner of Iapetan, so he can mine more Veldspar with it!

Iapetan Titans sound more like mobile stations with drives mounted on them to me Smile

If you have an old install of EvE online, say the files from circa 2006 about the time of Red Moon Rising, you should be able to see the models as they all existed at that time.

IIRC there was a ccp run event where players fought Salvador Sarapati in a Solteuter but failed to blow him up.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

This should happen again maybe start rolling through Sov owned Null sec clearing stations/pos's

This would
1: be pretty awesome to see
2: help reduce capital ships in new eden.. ( 1/2 huge titans wrecking systems so you launch a supercap/titan fleet to fight it ending in a pile of super caps = less in game super caps)
3: reduce the amount of sov some alliance/coalitions hold
4: Be awesome to see

Can you create one of the titans to actually exist in the game that will slowly move by higsec space.
This is extra work for you , but just looking on something like this in game is worth to wait.

Confirming there is no spaceship so large or powerful that someone won't imagine one twice as large.



Y'know, these are a confirmed thing in the lore- not my own creation.

And I don't want any player to ever get one- they're for the empires P A live event with these would be a blast


To Confirm: trying to talk smack to Uriel on the Lore is a bad idea.


UGH it's not smack talk, your interest in HURR TEH BIGGEST SHIPS EVAR is my point.

There has to be exploded views/cross sections. Could be like "Incredible Cross-Sections" Eve style! Those kind of drawings would take a while, but maybe do the books in 5 installments, one for each empire and a 5th for pirates and other factions. Not every ship has to be exploded either, just do one drawing for every T1 ship class and have illustrations with technical descriptions for other T1s and T2s. Like do a cross-section of Merlin for example and then have a photo with exterior technical descriptions of a Hawks, follow up on the opposite page with smaller drawing of other frigates: Kestrel, Bantam, Kitsune, Manticore, etc.

Honestly, the people saying they want to fight one of these are NUTS. In the lore, the drive wake from these things was enough to destabilize the orbit of planets. I can't help but feel like any Capsuleer grade capital ship would just get smashed like a bug on a windshield before it even got close.
