New player here, and I've never honestly seen one.
EVE is frustrating for me (console player), so I like to explore and poke things with a stick. (lost 5+ ships and am on my 3rd clone........)


Also my corp is getting pissed off at me for flying in nullsec LOL. (they have a point since i had a weak ship until i got ganked and then I just wandered around in my pod)




But yeah, am interested to see one.
And any mass fleets with one target? I wanna join that, too. Just for fun.

There is but its not doing anything, best if you fly to Delve and try your luck

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

You are in the wrong corp if they get mad at you.

1: Kudos for giving EVE a go as a console player. That takes some serious guts by today's "player quality standard."

2: Switch corp. So what if you fly in nullsec and get blown up. At least you try things out. Don't let the corp drag you or hinder you in any way. And if you can join a null-sec corp then your odds of seeing a real titan will probably increase greatly.

3: Otherwise there's that NPC titan.

4: Enjoy EVE

"in fight" is difficult but in the following systems you are pretty likely to find logged on titans:

319-3D
KFIE-Z
1DH-SX
F2OY-X

(I have the feeling you might fit in well with these guys, maybe try talking to them)

edit: as titans tend to sit inside a POS at some moon (unless they are camping the 319 undock) this might be a great time to learn how to use dscan to find them.

Its a bit sporting there at the moment, expect to see local counts between 300-700 and a bubble camp on damn near every gate for about 6 jumps around.

Fun stuff

First Titan I ever saw was tooling around in NPC null flying a covops. EBOLA Erebus at a pos at the edge of the Great Wildlands.

Now I see em every other week when it's time to bridge somewhere for a lagfest, I mean, stratop.

I don't normally just pop in and say 'me too' but I have to agree with the couple folks above me, that if your corp is getting snotty with you for actually PLAYING THE GAME, you're probably in the wrong corp.

Don't let them suck the soul out of you.

Indeed. Drop your corp, find a null one that loves newbies (hint: they're pretty much all in CFC), lose ships gloriously without attitude.

Been playing since 2003 and I've still never seen a Titan Big smile. Ok, since whenever they were released, which was quite a bit later.

Idea

**** 0.0, travel around low-sec (aka Eve's neglected red-headed stepchild)

Go fly around Amamake talking **** about Heretics and Pandemic Legion until you get to see one. I know of several people who've been insta-podded coming up to the Oso gate on a well-traveled warp-lane when it was camped.

**** Santo, he's killboard padding *****, there was a Smartbombing Erebus in Amamake for a while, though IIRC, it was taken down.

If you're lucky, maybe you can see if they have another one in the area. I remember there used to something like a dozen of them on dscan at any given moment there in Amamake.

Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been Eve is a great game if you can get past all of the asshats....

Come to 319-3D.

They dropped 4 trillion ISK of Titans on us yesterday to take on a battleship gang.

Titans dont really fight.


It's more like watching a huge whale drop into the middle of the sea and start flopping around and eventually it decides to fricasse some poor fish on the field by using its doomsday, and occassionally it hits stuff with its capital weapons.

You can fly to C9N-CC to see the wreck of the first titan ever killed in eve: Steve. That was the actual name of the ship, not the pilot. Pilot abandoned the ship logging out on aggro. That's why, if you ask goons, this was not the first titan kill ever, 'cause the ship was unpiloted. Either way, Steve's wreck is there.

The wreck is guarded from rats, so if u wanna enjoy the view without problems, u better fly a cov op so u can stay cloaked. If u like to fly in null sec tho, I strongly encourage to point your skills toward a T3 (maybe a Tengu?). That way u can fit a interdiction nullifier for bubbles. If u add a covert ops cloaking device and 3 warp stab, your ship will be almost uncatchable. Only thing can stop u with such configuration is a HIC with infinite point script and bubble deployed, and still he need to target u before he can actually stop u. That means he gotta have a point on you between the time u uncloak at the gate and the time u press the cloaking button while entering warp. Hard to do but hey, this is EVE.

U can find very interesting hints for your 0.0 touristic travels in this blog: http://evetravel.wordpress.com/ . Enjoy

Delve.

And your corp sounds terrible. Don't let them ensnare you in their carebearing ways.
