Warfare & Tactics

Would have been a rather silly thing to do as Athens warred Sparta for control of the area .. Greece was not a nation per se for the longest time but a smattering of independent city states.

PS: Look up Peloponnesian War and just about any reputable history book if you want to know more .. actually recommended as it is one of the most exciting periods in history .. better than 99% of random drivel being peddled as literature these days for sure.

I tend to scout hostile alliances and put Titan pilots on watchlist. That way I know they're ready to drop on me.

All alliances are technically hostile (AWOX'ing is all the rage I hear ), does that mean you have a folder with 600+ people just to monitor Titans or do you weed out the ones used for carebear support (ie. permanent logistics duty)?

Titan's for all their ISK, mineral and time investment are born much faster than they are killed .. not as bad as S.carriers in their heyday but the mere fact that the ultimate hulls can be and are being spammed.
We are approaching (or have already passed) the point where Titan's are essentially omni-present .. nerf their function outside of their own domain (null) and then nerf it some more just to be sure!

Confirming low-sec needs a nerf.

Ive been droped by black ops bs in low sec way more than by titan bridge. Infact I can't even remember the last time I was on the end of a titan bridge not in null...but I can't count black ops portals and jumps on both hands. Maybe we should nerf black ops to only null...
Or maybe we should quit complaining about things we don't have...like one of my alliance mates said...our alliance's titan just shoots our fleet out to areas we want to roam in...its more or less a big expensive star gate...

There is no problem with jump bridges specifically. There is a problem with hot-dropping in general, but there isn't an easy fix for it problem that affects the larger coalitions more than the smaller ones. Someone suggested mass limits on cynosural fields, but any large coalition can just field sixty cyno alts. Someone suggested gimping the Jump Drive Calibration bonus, but any large coalition can just make more midpoints. Someone suggested giving jump drives a spool-up time, but all that does is make fights not happen, as any ships that see a cyno will just rabbit if they can. I suggested a "Cyno Poisoner" module which poisons a cyno field and causes any ships that jump through it to receive debuffs, but that's rife with potential issues itself.

Hotdropping disincentivises certain fleet compositions (slow, high-power battleships, for example), which isn't fun for the players who enjoy flying them, but at the same time hotdropping is a perfectly valid tactic and gimping it too much isn't going to be fun for the players who enjoy using it.

So basically you're crying about a 30 man fleet preying on your 15 man fleet while you're preying on a 1 man "fleet" at a gatecamp. Makes sense

I've discovered that one of EVE's great ironies is that the people that claim to "feast on tears" or be "fueled by tears" are usually the ones that produce the most tears of all.

I don't really see a problem. If people in 0.0 can learn to react to cynos, so can others. Some slow/unlucky ones may die, so what? And to top it you cant even be bubbled...
Now we can discuss if titans added or detracted from game, but OP was nothing but a whine in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with Titan bridging. Personally I find to be a it of a waste of time, fapping on a Titan pretending to be elite and all, but I supposes the special kids need their PvP as well
