Not often I am minded to post, but this is a great idea. It's always seemed odd to me that titan's may use their key ability whilst exposing themselves to no risk at all.

Why not add it so titans and supercap weapons can only be used on caps or biggers like with the DD?
Then you can balance them amongst each other instead of having to deal with loki webs blap titans and so on?
This way caps can blap BS with effective many man setups but then promptly get eaten like a plate of cupcakes made of bacon and steak by titans and supercaps where titans and supercaps get eaten by subcaps.
Thus you end up with the triangle of power

Remove them from the game.



I understand your reasoning for removing them from the game but why waste the artwork? Surely the reason you're advocating removing them from the game is because they're overpowered in combat and don't fit with the rock,paper,scissors,lizard,spock approach which is taken in the rest of the game?

Assuming this to be the case, why not just repurpose them instead so their primary role is a non-combat role?

i would hate to see them go. i just wish there was a way to make them rarer and more valuable again. Something that coulodnt be abused by every major alliance/coalition.

Scatter them adrift in space, set number.
Have fun scanning for them everywhere, oh and try not to lose them, because CCP aint setting anymore adrift after whupping PL.

What the game needs is a _serious_ nerf to jump range

What will become worse if the jump range is cut to one thirds of current jump range? Or what is so bad about limiting jump range to 3 systems for _any_ capital?


They will still be awesome IF you get them on-site, but you it will be way harder to instablob entire new-eden via a bunch of midpoints.

It will give way more windows of opportunity for smaller alliances to use their capitals, you will see less '50 supercap' drops. etc.

How about placing a cap on the total number of Titans available in the sandbox, come up with some crazy lore for it.

The Titans that do exist should be in...more or less broadcasted.... systems or constellations, so that you can look on your map and see where they are. If your alliance wants to build one, you have to go blow up an existing.

And +1 for CCP not allowing any more to be built for a while (even ever); sounds better than what's happening right now.

+1 for this. Or even the Titan following through the bridge. I really like the "jump tethering" idea someone came up with.

Several decent ideas mentioned here, but none fully address the myriad of issues plaguing this neglected and uber-nerfed ship class.

Remove Supers and Titans from the game.

Could it be something that can be capped?

Ensure that supers and titans can not be contracted or in any way be sold to, given to or even stolen by anyone. They are built by the corp/alliance and is owned by the corp/alliance. If a pilot ejects from one, only another corp/alliance member (with the skill set) can enter it (think of it like a POS bubble except there is no password to give out to people).

A corp must contain 500 members to be in control of 1 super
A corp must contain 1000 members to be in control of 2 supers

A corp can not own more than two supers

An alliance must have a minimum of 5 corps in order to use a titan. Only when each corp in the alliance is in control of (or is capable of controlling) one super can the alliance make one titan. That is 2500 members minimum. Only when the corps in the alliance is in control of (or is capable of controlling) two supers can the alliance make the second titan.

A maximum of 2 titans per alliance.

Numbers subject to adjustment.
