EVE General Discussion

Titans have a lack of risk for the reward in using them. There 2 basic issues.

1) Opening a jump bridge from inside a POS. This is clearly broken. If a Carrier can not assign fighters inside a POS why can a titan jump an entire fleet from inside the safety of a POS? While the increased risk is minimal having to operate outside a POS it still would provide some sort of risk instead of giving bridging fleets a free ride.

2) When a Titan opens a bridge, after a set time the Titan should have to go though to the target destination. Same would happen if the ship providing a Cyno was destroyed.

Why is this important. A Titan is a strategic asset. They are used today as tactical assets. Have a few ships flying around within your bridging range fit with a cyno. When someone attacks pop cyno and have fleet come in and clean house. Go back and repeat. While your fleet may have X number in it the only ship risked is one bait ship. All reward, no risk and an extreme lack of participation for the pilots in the bridged fleet. More so since they are sitting safe in a POS shield till someone tells them to wake up for a jump.

Using a titan bridge as a substitute for a roving gang results in less PvP overall. Once I see a corp/alliance use a bridge they are put on the "do not engage" list. No more fighting vs them unless you know their titan pilot(s) is off line.


Operating a roaming gang from inside a POS shield is bad game play. Titans should be used strategically, not tactically. If someone wishes to drop the actual titan on a ratter, they are welcome to take that risk. These changes would help fix the risk/reward balance that is currently out of wack with Titans.

I don't know so much about titans

but what you describe is the same for blops, would you want that changed also or just the titans?

Exactly my point.

You could still use a Titan to move fleets around, the difference is that you would only use a bridge to move a fleet into direct combat if you felt it was worth the risk of having the Titan there. Having a freebie "move your fleet" at no risk to you goes against Eve's core game design.

"Fly what you can afford to lose". Except you don't fly the titan anywhere and you don't lose it to anything. Looks broken to me.






As to going though the portal, I could go ether way. Blops are a bit different since there are additional limits to the types of ships that can use the bridge. If a blops can bridge from inside a POS then yes, that should change.

basically this is the dumbest post ever and you should be ashamed you posted it

the two changes that need to be made to titans:

1)remove doomsday
2)remove guns

You risk the cyno ship, the titan risks being bumped out of the pos, isotopes cost money, stront costs money, and titans cost money to.

If you do that to bridging you basically screw the small guys and only alliances with titan blobs will use them so they don't risk losing them.

So, let me guess, you're not ok with Jump Freighters or Carriers jumping from inside POS too right?

Can you tell me how much experience you have with titans in the illustrious ~Center of Advanced Studies~ corporation?

No, I'm not dumb, I know you're a typical alt-posting sperglord, but your ideas are dumb!

you spend years perfecting your skills

you spend 80b on a giant space **** called an avatar

and after all that effort you can only use that ship to shave some jumps off of a roam

triple post

In conclusion, .
