Something is not right here. You shouldn't have to ask the question if flying a titan is actually seriously considered.

Here is why:

Titans are not for small or even medium-sized corps. Committing a titan for combat purposes (as you are asking for; also: that is somewhat questionable in the first place) requires the potential for subcapital and capital support. We are talking at least a very serious and/or professional lowsec-alliance or well-connected and experienced nullsec-corp (NPC or sov).

If that WERE the case here, you should have ways other than the forum to acquire the knowledge you seek. Even if it is the first titan for your outfit, you'd probably have people in your ranks who have some second-hand experience. You should certainly have friendly in-game contacts that are a bit bigger and better and be able to shop around for proper help there.

I have real trouble imagening a situation where a potential titan pilot would be required to seek help on the forums. Except for those cases where it would be a really bad idea to fly it in combat.

Just having the ISK doesn't make it a good idea to spend it that way. More likely, you are better off using it to grow your outfit and expand your sub-cap and capital capabilities.

If you're buying a titan, it's for the doomsday and bridge. If you have to use the guns/torps, you're either shooting structures or about to die. If someone is shooting you, you're going to die and a few million EHP wont save you.

Basically, don't get a titan for combat. Get a supercarrier.

I just so happen to have both a leviathan and erebus, travel fit. If you can't decide, why not buy both? I can understand that in such a transaction buyers often wish to use the services of an escrow agent, though it is customary for the seller to offer a list of trusted choices. The list below are the escrow agents I have found most reliable in these sorts of transactions. Let know if you would like to proceed. I will of course cover the escrow fees and be willing to offer a discount for purchasing both ships together.

This leads to an interesting question, are erotica 1 and characters listed here all the mittanis alts for scamming ?:o

No, you can find this out by using ECHLEON right now to find the identities of Erotica1 and The Mittani.
