Best quote of the thread. Eve Universe = United States, and Titans = "Adult Videos"

Everybody wants one,
Only the big boys can get them,
owning one can make you feel special,
Many people think they are bad and should not exist,

Sounds about right to me.

Hey we got bridged yesterday and lost a fight.

But if you live in a area you watchlist the titans and know who they are.

we scouted the hostiles and knew what they had and we could see it beeing managable.

If we only scouter the 4 Super Carriers =3

Back to titan bridge tho... 120 billion ship... the bridge is the only use it has and is no where near Overpowerd. its sooo easy too just watchlist the pilot of the titan and you can see OOh look, they logged the titan on.

If its online. scout it!

5 day old alt with a cloak on the POS =P Meow Meow.

Stop dropping on me tho Snuff Box, I'm running low on Archons with T2 rigs =3

"fair' is a logical fallacy

Is it overpowered compared to other mechanics, and by extension suppresses other roles and professions? Yes.

Those of us that remember a "big" Eve will tell you, it was better.

Size should matter. Both in terms of space amongst and between regions and.. .*ahem* elsewhere. That is the size we should be focused on now, the size of space, of Eve.

Why have thousands of star systems and dozens of regions if you can blink between any two dots on the map instantaneously?

But there are limits on what size should produce, and one big space dong (paraphrasing CCPs evaluation of titans at a fanfest not that long ago) does a bit too much for it's size.

The counter to a bridge -- Have a bigger fleet. You know the cyno goes up. Everyone sees it in Overview. You have plenty of time to gtfo. You see local piling up. You have dscan. Have some situational awareness and common sense. IF you don't want to fight the baddy, then leave or bring more/bigger ships. Nothing in EVE is fair.


'nuff said. Working as intended.

_It's very simple, really. If you see Tengus on scan, they are ratting. If you see a shitload of Tengus, the Russians are blobbing. If you see Proteuses on scan, they will be on top of you in about a second. If you see a shitload of Proteuses, the big boys are having a goodfight. _

show me on the doll where the nasty piwates hotdropped you


seriously all these people bitching about titan hotdrops. its easily avoidable just get scouts in the titan home systems, be intelligent, its not difficult. This new eve attitude is what is killing eve. 'oh noes somthign that beats me, i must forum complain about the mechanics rather than think of a solution via ingame methods'


srsly its so easy to avoid hot drops, just have RL money to waste on alt accounts solving every problem for you forum idiots 'its easy' Roll

and even if you have a scout in a titan system what the hell is that gonna do? 'o boy guys theres 50 of them in local lets dock up and wait for them to disband' --8 hours later--

The way i see it is that 1 vs 1 fights are dying out just because of hotdrops\bridging .... Always wondering is this not a bait ... :-)

Why not just reduce their range and how many ships they can jump at once? In lowsec though I don't think I've ever seen a full fleet bridged anywhere, usually it is 20-60 people.

Nah, I just want to make it legal to make "adult videos" everywhere in the "United States", not just in San Fernando Valley, CA (0.0).

Another reason I love plex mechanics :) Having 40 people drop on your 12 man gang sucks balls, but they can't do it at an accel gate :p

I have. However, I prefer FW lowsec because I enjoy small gang warfare. If I wanted to do 200+ man tidi fests I would move to nullsec.

Just start aligning out once you see the darn cyno go up. It takes a good 5-10 seconds to go from clicking "bridge to" to loading grid most of the time, then there is the act of actually targeting and tackling people.

It's not about something being overpowered. It's about a bigger fish taking a shot at you. You can either get blown up, join them, or scatter and go for stragglers once they start burning back to their POSed up titan Cool

How about the concept of : If you're in a POS shield you can't project power outside of it. Make the titan go outside the POS shield to bridge and we'll call it even. Eve is about risk and all that, right?

And then every large alliance watchlists every titan pilot of smaller corps and drops super caps and dreads on by the 100's again leaving the weak helpless to the null bloc alliances.

How about targetting delay after bridging, 20s or so?
