EVE General Discussion

My advice would be stop exaggerating.

If, IF; that really was the case then those must've been shield bc's with sigs almost the size of battleships and pilots that massively suck at manageing their range and transversal and/or huginns grabbing them too. In which scenario nothing in any way broken happened.

[constructive advice; outrange them/pick setups with smaller sigs/ get better at manageing transversal/use neutralizers/increase speed/use capitals against capitals etc etc etc etc etc]

Yeah, what will happen will be each major alliance having a First Fleet composed of 100 titans or so and 150 Supercarriers or so, and then all the lesser players will join second, third fleet etc with dreadnaught/carriers and whatnot. Probably battlecruisers would be good, as the titans would be able to kill battleships. Dreadnaughts are for adding DPS against enemy titans.

Though probably all you'd do is hotdrop 250 supercaps on some new alliance with only 10 titans, eh.

WN did not put up any kind of fight. The one time they tried the leader "forgot to set his alarm" so they all say there playing with themselves while we burned their empire to the ground.

BOB (3 times), NC (before the cascade) the russians many many times, MC, ASCN, Tri multiple times ect all had the biggest blob in their time and were all beaten.

Don't be silly. They haven't hotdropped 10 titans that I've heard of.

Now they've hotdropped frigate roams. And hotdropped titans on welpfleet hurricanes. But they're pretty cautious with their titans, once apparently their blob ran off when charged by a welpfleet. (Possibly because of the danger of being tackled and hotdropped by a ton of dreadnaughts I guess?).

You would probably get to where any real engagement would be trying to bait the enemy titans somewhere so that you can drop a ton of dreadnaughts on them. If successful, your blob will be at a significant advantage to their blob and you can go about bashing POS in relative safety.

It isn't good to depend too heavily on a single arm of decision. Though if you have an overpowered arm of decision, you should use it as much as possible while it's overpowered.

It would suck to be an alliance (over)depending heavily on turret titans and they somehow got nerfed just as an angry group of people started throwing dreadnaughts around like they were rifters (in comparison).

The problem isn't the balancing of the ships; it's how available they are. Titans should be able to sit there and plaster a fleet of idiots. The problem is that a group of 2-3 alliance can drop 80 of them. That's when it becomes an issue.

The problem arose when motherships and titans started to show up on the open market. People are becoming too rich in the game, and as such 16-20b is nothing for the average 5 year old playing vet any more. There are single players that are hoarding over 200billion ISK to themselves that they haven't gained from emptying alliance wallets.

The price of supercarriers and titans need to be increased massively. But this can't be done without making people cry about it because those who do have them just made a hell of a lot of money. It's too late to fix the problem now unless some sort of mechanic comes along that limits the number usage of them.

e: So it's either that or just make them totally useless.

I wonder what Soundwave will do when goons fields 3000 maels...
and noone can kill them....

Also I'm pretty sure his bosses will enjoy the fact that it takes 45 000$ of subs/plexes a month to run a theoretical 3000 man alphafleet rather than 2250$ for an hypothetical 150-man titan fleet.

You target the titans sub-system that has his officer tracking enhancers. Once you offline those the titan will be hard pressed to track anything sub-capital.

Oh ho. Well they have tengufleets, which are very ~elite pvp~ and also provide us with great killmails.

Well surely the fact we only want turret titans nerfed to help us means the democratically elected CSM will definitely stomp the Mittani's well thought out, researched and documented evidence for overpoweredness and subsequent need for nerfs.

Cause we're goons and we always lie.


That said, if dreads are more cost effective now, that can only improve (unless titans actually get buffed, you know). Someday BoB 5.0 (these things take time) won't be so daring to swing their "~elite pvp~ titan blob" in people's faces because a dreadnaught fleet might cut it off. Instead we'll be sieging 200 dreads on a POS and daring them to come save it.

What are they gonna do, nerf dreadnaught tracking even more? Haha .... no wait a sec. Luckily my alt will go for the Phoenix, go go Citadel Cruise Missiles!

Of course people could just make ever more titans, but if we spam dreads the whole problem might be lessened.

Well, I would imagine support would be supercarriers with fighters?

Uh, what am I saying, titans are like 4x more expensive than supercarriers they should be far better because their cost balances them. Silly goon me ! Titans should get big rep bonuses as well as be able to use remote reps and fighters.
