Once upon a time, armageddons had super powers and owned everything. They were fun, but retardedly broken and got nerfed, Later dominixes could go a bazillion m/s and owned everything. As fun as nano ships were, we knew they were retardedly broken, and they too got nerfed. Now, it is the titan's turn. They are retardedly broken and are getting nerfed. There have been tears before over ship nerfs, your tears are no different aside from their level of deliciousness.

Dear CCP if do this nerf then gief back to all pilots titan skills cuz we spend 5 bil for skill and 100 bils = for titan and wasting like 3 month + for make skill AND NOW WE CANT USE THIS SHIP cuz this MITANI not have skill and isk to take titan

MR MITANI go play PREPELIX ONLINE and stop cry to CCP cuz u guys (goon) cant fly titans

OR MAKE SERVER FOR GOONS AND LET US PLAY FAIR
And CCp what prefer to have 6-7k players( goons) or 60k players ??????
Think before do wrong changes


I fly an Erebus, and have one of the largest Titan fleets in the galaxy.

The hard fact is that the fault lies with the people who used Titans to annihilate subcaps en masse, and then had the poor judgement to laugh about it, congratulate themselves, and keep doing it. If RDN, NCdot and PL hadn't gone whole-hog abusing an obviously broken mechanic, this nerf would have never happened.

They may tell themselves that the inarguable imbalance of blapping titans was a sign of their 'skill' or 'superiority' - the same excuses offered forth throughout the history of the Titan, justifying Remote Doomsdays, AoE Doomsdays, etc etc. The same old guard players, the same old guard excuses, the same old-guard entitlement.

Ultimately, the nemesis of titans was the poor impulse control of their own pilots - the inability, when faced with what amounted to a free bar, not to drink themselves into blundering violence and to assault the other guests.

What an amazing pile of steaming **** based on lies, misconceptions and endless exagerration. The situation presented as being responded to simply doesn't represent reality, but rather the deluded and deliberately misleading view of a vocal minority and those who don't know any better.

You, however, should know better CCP.

I can only hope this is laying the groundwork for an epic early April fools joke as opposed to being a concerted effort to bore all titan pilots into never logging in again (except for those wierdos who genuinely enjoy doing nothing but bridging).

Wow, just wow.

Well yes. That's why no-one is really listening to what the save-the-titan crowd is crying about.

If not a single titan pilot ever logs into this game again, the quality of this game will improve by several orders of magnitude.

I am Dabigredboat and I fly a leviathan. I agree with the mittani :3:


I am a nobody that doesn't fly a Titan, on any of my accounts.

What's sad to me is how when Mittens posts about his Errorbus and Titan fleet, and all the goon sheep repost with no content, they generate a good amount of noise in a thread already full of it.

The proposed changes aren't going to have the desired effects. It's that simple. People who know a decent amount about game mechanics have said so, but CCP will again ignore them (hello Technetium buff... hello SuperCarrier buff...) thinking they know what they are doing, and throw the requisite "we will evaluate and iterate" line to quiet down those who are easily silenced.

This supposed change will do little to the nullsec battlefield. It will do little to skilled players with Titans who understand game mechanics. It will do nothing to Titan proliferation (743 as of this morning's capital tweet). The smart thing to do is to actually fix them, give them a place or pull them from the game, refund Titan-related skill points and the ship's mineral value in ISK to the pilots.

Democracy is only as good as the despot managing the voting booth.

Better to restart the server, would that be fair enough for you.

Risk / Reward anyone ever heard this concept, thought it was what this game was suppose to be based on.

Yes yes, the majority of players and their titans are certainly more important than the remaining minority of lowly titanless pilots. Maybe titan pilots should start an Occupy Eve movement being the 99% and all.

I'm glad the vocal majority is well aware of the capabilities of tracking-fit titans and finds their ability to bring 0.0 combat to a halt perfectly balanced ;p

It's a shame that everytime your group deploys their Iwin button, they take absoutely no risk. Being in a massive blob of invincible ships.
