Having an entire account tied up as the holding character?

Nonsense. Three character slots per account. Put them on your jita alt's account, or a forum alt.

titans and supers tieing up skilled long time players for the time they have it is total stupid - ccp figured that would mean more subs not less.

again, i hate supers and i think a char thats allowed to do anything in the universe sand box, can put a titan somehwere safe other than simply logging it off and still not having the char for anything else.

oh and one more thing, you cant add plex to a pilot in space - must suck extra balls for wormholers as well as super chars.

I understand what the OP means. He wants supercap pilots to be able to do more than just inactive as many of our supercap alts have nowhere to go except when needed. The problem lies in the fact you can't park the damn things anywhere and do something else and as a result that alt is a waste when it could be used. Whoever who owns one are most likely unsubbbed for long periods of time, my own supercap pilot alt have been inactive for ages languishing in null sec dark space. It's also rather silly that to actually buy one you must use a middle man, there should be a better and safer way.

It would be better if there was some way you could park it in and resub the pilot alt for something else but truth be told, it's a dangerous line to cross.

The issue is that outside of well supported fleet combat Titans and SC's are largely useless. Mass supercap ops are a relative rarity and have always been a bit of a rarity, so individual pilots find themselves paying for this account that never logs in, with a character that is sitting in a coffin.

Three 'toons per account. It's not a big deal to sideline one 'toon - Indeed, I've done precisely that with my scan-bunny; He's only active when I need to find a WH. Not really a hard concept to figure out... and I'm sure Titan pilots have. I suspect that it's more of a 'bucket list' item, proof that they have done all there it to do.

If they hadn't been created, they'd have needed to be created, just to prove that they're largely pointless. This is EVE-O; players would've been banging on tins and frothing over with consiracy theories about how "CCP didn't want them to have super-ships because (insert batshit theory here)."

So... CCP made the damn things, and now people understand, without having to trust CCP's word on it.

No, that's what the utility account is for.*

I don't multi-box when I need a WH, I log, and log back in with the Scan-Bunny.


Edit:
To be clear: The utility accound contains my miner, my logi pilot, and a blank, which will probably become my entre into the exciting world of ganking.
My main contains, well, me. Also a wise-ass toon who's sole purpose is to be very, very expendible, and the Scan-Bunny.

It's kind of fun watching people not put 2+2 together, but I guess I've had enough fun.


Yes, accounts have 3 characters one could be using. So you ask, why would someone unsub an account with 2 viable characters still on it? The answer is, they are not. People who, for what ever reason, really like flying supers will just have all 3 characters be super "holders".

Because, what is better than having an unsubed account with a super? Having an unsubed account with 3 supers.




And now you know why nullsec alliances and super pilots themselves can shrug off losing a super. All the major nullsec powers have a silly amount of supers in reserve.

to me rigs on a super cap 9/10 will be tech II trimarks and sheild extander II

and this allows super caps to have ridiculous amounts of ehp and is IMO the main reason you cant dock them.

but if you remove the ability to fit rigs (i mean i understand rigging a ship 30 meters long or hell even 2 km max but 6-18km? thats just nonsense)

i feel that with sc not having rigs it will greatly reduce the ehp and thus would not have a problem for them docking in special upgraded player owned outposts.


The ability to rig supers (soon with Rigs specifically designed for them) has nothing to do with why the can't dock. (BTW: An Aeon can easily hit almost 26m EHP without rigs).


Quote:
but just because you can dock a sc does not mean you should dock a titan...

From what i understand the main role of a titan is to bridge ships and when the opurtunity comes you can actually fight in one... if the odds are in your favour...

Before you could blap in a titan and that was fun because it did not matter if you were stuck in the ship as you could still use it often.


Before you could AOE Doomsday through a Cyno from a POS bubble, and that was fun because it did not matter if you were stuck in the ship as you could still use it often.

Quote:
but now you cant... so really once you are in a titan you have no purpose...

i am not sure about the details like if you plug a titan into a 0.0 outpost will it act like a control tower where you can deploy guns and it enhances the ehp of the outpost or what not... So in turns an outpost into a bettle outpost and then allows you to dock super carriers into the outpost...

what i am looking to do is renew the roles of supercaps and make a mechanic that allows you to leave the ship in some relative safty without having to keep the char not loged in to do so.


OP **** gets nerfed. Pull up your big boy pants and deal with it.

Oh wonderful. More EHP to shoot through when taking systems. Plus Free Supercarrier Docking games. Plus a Titan that can't get bumped off station to be killed and shares the station's EHP pool. What a wonderful plan.


Anyway, you've yet to explain why titans becoming unavailable for use by their sub lapsing is a bad thing.
