Ships & Modules

I am a lover of all ships of every size. Some might even call me a collector but I tend to use my assests rather than sit on them.

That being said; I currently own all supers and all titans but the leviathan (for the simple reason that they suck) and I can't help but notice a massive difference in price as well as usefulness.

As it stands a carrier can be bought fully fit for around 2.2 billion. A nice amount of money but not overly expensive.
The n3 flagship (the archon) is the most used capital in eve at the moment and for 2.2 billion it is easy to replace.
a super carrier averages at about 27 billion combat fit. Now super carriers are interesting to me and I don't know if they are good or bad. Some aspects of them are great; The logistics capability (both moving around and repping), they are able to kill a carrier that isn't in triage solo, in large numbers they can kill structures very easily and most importantly to bitter vets they are not overly expensive to replace.

Now we come to titans. Titans used to be marvelled at. It was a great accomplishment for a pilot to own one but costs a small fortune for the pleasure. That fact hasn't changed! I do a lot of forum work on the sell orders page re-selling big ships for small profit and I have come across the simple old fact that titans are going up in price but going doing in usefulness.
I won't go on too much about previous nerfs but let me just list the most important ones in my eyes; Mass reduction on tank, huge hit on tracking, the DD was nerfed x1, x2, x3 times and with this latest patch of all capital turrets getting reduced tracking means a double hit on the titan.
Many of you will agree with those changes but I can almost guarantee you do not own a titan or haven't done since they were released to see what a difference it is between Dec 16 2005 - 2014.

CCP please remember that the players are paying on average 120 billion (6 times the amount of a singe super carrier hull) for something that could get solo'd by a dominix and a hic given enough time.

This is not acceptable and I don't even fly my titans in combat.

And a battleship can be killed with a single noobship, what is your point? While titans having another role than being jump bridges would be nice being able to track subcaps does not need to be one of the things it does.

From a gameplay design perspective i think it makes the most sense for Titans to be the kings of capital combat but being seriously vulnerable to subcaps without proper supcap support of their own.

Combined arms and all that.

If the battleship has the wrong drones it dies to the noobship.

But of course a more direct comparison to your example would be say.. two frigates (And no drones from one battleship cannot kill two competent frigates unless its a geddon/domi)

As to the other one, i said i think it SHOULD be the king, not that it is. I do agree that a titan should be a badass thing to bring on the field. I just don't agree that it should be a trump card that works fine against all other ships. A fleet of subcaps and caps should be more viable that a fleet with only caps (In my opinion).

Provides more varied interesting gameplay.

This was my point :) I believe that you are paying for that DD to be a win button. they used to be as well..

care factor is 0.

Because all players either own multiple supercaps or mine in hisec. And if you aren't concerned about the awful plight of the former then you must be a member of the later. Troll somewhere else.

Might I suggest that if eve isn't pay to win enough for you that star citizen might be a better place to invest all that money you are spending on plex. At least there if (and that is with a highly qualified IF) it comes out it seems to guarantee that you can have an instant "I win" that only the nobles can have. No descamisados able to interfere with your spaceship.

I know over a dozen people with titans.. Not one of them plexed it.. (The amount of money required to plex a titan is absurd)

Delete all titans.
