So I have heard about alliances that offer their members a good deal on a Titan if it is used for the alliance.

What are some of the best deals you have heard of, and where should a Tit pilot go if he wants action?

If you can't afford a titan yourself, you probably shouldn't be flying it.

its too many different deals to mention all...and they tends to change with time.

back in the day (during dysp gold era) PL fcs would get them for free, also I know NC would give corp titans to pilots that could fly them back in the day.

Nowadays , unless you become some ceo/ dictator in some b or c level pubbie alliance your most likerly have to pay the titan yourself.
You might get it cheaper than market orders/get some subsidies from alliance, but in the end most "end game alliances" which accually field titans on the battlefield(most b and c only uses them for bridging) alrdy have tons of them.
Dont expect to be treathed as a special snowflake in said alliances.

Basicly what Twisted said. Most top alliances have alot of titan capable pilots, so they won't see any need for throwing that stuff towards you. Furthermore, (I know it's a cliché but it's true) if you don't know these things you most likely won't be getting a cheap titan any time soon due to you having an average/low reputation and lack the adequate ingame social network.

I've seen some deals where people only pay built costs, but in general these prices have been for old members who were trusted by the corp - heard of deals below built cost too, but they are rare and the people getting those often belong in an exclusive group.

BDCI is a commie corp and gives corp supers to their members. Con your way into their corp (it's really easy, they're terrible), pretend to be useful, and watch some inactive pubbie CEO liquidate T2 BPOs to buy you an Erebus.
