Is it time they get nerfed?

Well the balance pass for capitals is coming, so I guess Titans and Super Carriers will be looked at sometime soon, but I'd be surprised if they were nerfed.

From what CCP have indicated before, Titans might gain new roles that affect a whole battlefield similar to how wormhole effects work (not necessarily the same effects that wormholes have), but we'll see.

Nerfing though? Why?

all i want is this from my archon:

-Ability to fly in highsec. Literally no reason not to be allowed to.
-Usefulness outside of groups. It can't do ANYTHING solo. It's a big, expensive duck.

inb4 hurr durr solo in an mmo????????

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

It's pretty much useless IN groups right now. I literally don't care at all about what you want - your solo whims aren't what these ships should be balanced around.

They have been nerfed so hard for the last 5 years that they are nearly useless.

So unless you are throwing **** around, tell us what is the problem.

If you are about to say a blob of super capitals is OP... Well I have news for you, a blob of anything is OP.

And yes, your gang of 10 random sub-caps should get decimated against 1 Titan or 1 supercarrier.

Very clueless comment, and completely inaccurate... Go back to pre-2010 EVE-Online, THEN they were OP.

Been around since the beginning.

They already nerfed the Titans years ago when they changed the Doomsday weapons from Fleet-Destroying-Super-Smartbombs to Wave Motion Guns only capable of targeting one ship. The trade off was greater HP to them in all areas, but the Titans still took a heavy hit.

If there is one problem I could observe with the Titans and Dreadnoughts, it is that neither one can fly Drones or Fighters to defend themselves in anyway, with the only ship in the Capital Ship category that can field Drones or fighters being the Super-Carriers. After all, they have virtually no way of defending themselves from smaller ships due to the slow tracking speeds of XL turrets.
