So I'm ready for the big push...Leviathan is the last one on the list for Caldari Cap ships and now I'm at the cross roads. Do I plug it in and then sell or sell without it injected. I don't really care about putting the isk into the skill book as I'd pull it back in the sale but how desirable are SuperCap pilots anyway?They don't often come up on the forums so I'm stuck at the crossroads.

I would genuinely appreciate any help or opinions in this field...I usually play PvE and fly nothing bigger than a Marauder...I need expert advice here.

Thanks for reading

1. How big is the chance you will actually fly a Titan at some point?
2. Are you ready to commit this character to flying only a single ship until he loses it?

One thing you might want to keep in mind is that a potential buyer looking for a titan character has no interest in your other ship piloting skills, so they won't really add any extra worth to people looking to buy a titan (as the only ship the character will ever sit in is a titan)
All the sub-cap ship/weapon skills will be of no value to people looking to use it as a titan character.

I'm looking at it solely in terms of maximum return on my investment. I've bought him and plan to invest 2 months training him before moving on to the next. Trouble is, I've never gone into Cap ships before and I find myself at a standstill. I want to make him desirable to the larger market but at the same time I'd also like the biggest profit available.
If Titan only opens the window to a few buyer looking for 'specialized' characters I might have to stay away from that and fill him out in the sub cap fields a little more.

Thanks for the advice so far..I'll keep an eye on this incase someone else comes up with something that hasn't been expressed yet.

I agree with Lightbane. I have a couple of characters baking in the oven myself and so I watch the character bazaar almost daily. Most people only want minimum skill capital ship holders; or less so, pure capital pilots.

So I would suggest filling out more subcap skills. Nightmares are popular right now. Maybe you go for Amarr BS V?

If you're looking to sell, Caldari Titan is probably the least likely to improve your character's desirability.
