Heh Illiad, Thats a hell of a video. if you havent checked that link out guys, watch all of those vids, they're frickin hilarious, epecialy the one about the camper who's spouting abuse till he gets wiped out in three clicks, and the original Leeroy Jenkins "a rough go" vid. Just to make it clear, that main ship isnt a boss, it belongs to a player. its called a Avatar, and it's one of the most powerful ships in the game. It takes many people a whole year to make one, so when someone finaly pwns said avatar, thats more pwnage than one could ever possibly hope to outdo. A worthy #1.

That crazy 200+ combo too lol whoever did that is way too good with a controller :P Yes, probably punched himself afterwoulds. If you've never played EVE then you honestly have no idea just what a monumental financial loss, and loss of prestige that is. That ship is worth more than some whole star systems. Losing it? you'd be lucky if you could get a corp afterwoulds. Right now only one ship is more expensive, the two-ever-built Raven State Issue. Only by losing that could you appear to be a worse sort of clod than the guy who lost the Avatar. SHIP: Several billion dollars. Weapons: hundreds and hundreds of millions. Ammunition: millions upon millions of dollars. Fighter craft: multi millions of dollars. On Board System Upgrades(items) : Untold hundreds of millions. Rigs: Tens of millions. Cargo: potentialy hundreds of millions. Total: enough to bankrupt or severely weaken even the largest Corp(guild) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think you are exaggerating somewhat :) Titan losses are not that rare, and most corps/alliances will recover swiftly from one. It's a bit of a stunning blow if your corp or alliance loses one, and indeed some titan pilots have been known to 'ragequit' for a while after a loss (but often that is because the pilots felt that their titan loss was due to faulty game mechanics. For instance, on one occasion the old area-of-effect titan doomsday did not work correctly and so did not clear all tackle off the titan as it should have done), but most just get on with it, and work on replacing it.For those who kill it, it's of course a huge morale boost - and the announcement 'TITAN TACKLED!!!' is a guaranteed way to get people into fleet. :D Mineral cost for a titan is in the area of 40 bil - not all that much for a moderately wealthy 0.0 corp, and there are plenty of people in game who can easily fund one privately. Build time, as I recall, is around 6-8 weeks for the titan itself, plus the time it takes to build the components (which depends mainly on how many blueprint sets you have available to build from). The logistics effort to build a titan is quite colossal. Freighter loads of minerals need to be bought (unless you have a huge mining capacity in 0.0), compressed (usually by building mods which have the best volume/mineral requirements) and moved to 0.0. The mods used for transporting the minerals then have to be reprocessed, and the minerals moved to a build site for building the components. Once completed, freighterload after freighterload of components has to be moved to the capital ship assembly array. These arrays can only be deployed in a system where your alliance has sovereignty, and where the supercap production facility upgrade has been installed. Then, of course, the POS with the CSAA has to be defended against attackers, and CSAA POSs are a prime target during conflicts. When BoB was 'Haargothed' one of my first tasks as scout was to find their capital shipyards. My previous corp built a titan last year. We raised money from corp members (which was paid back with interest after completion), then commenced the logistics and building tasks. IIRC we had 6 people (plus alts) working on the logistics and build tasks. The titan was successfully launched (well, it did go flying out of the POS shields, and the pilot had to go retrieve it from about 200km off :laugh: ) and is still in game :) Haven't managed to get on a titan kill yet, though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub3rman123 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 That "More bubbles! More bubbles!" quote sounds like "More DoTS!" from WoW. Cool. Is that ship even fighting back? I didn't see anything coming from it. What does More Bubbles mean? Who's controlling the huge ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindekarr Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 OK: In EVE you can warp away when sho at. BUT! you can also deploy a sphere of energy commonly called a "bubble" which prevents that. "more bubbles" basicaly means "get more interdictors, it's getting away!" The commander of the big ship is probably that given corp's longest serving member. It takes a hell of a long time to get all the skill ups required to fly one of those mothers. And I dont know WHY it isnt firing back. You can deploy jamming that prevents an enemy ship from firing, but you've got to get the right jamming for that ship or it wont work, and I had THOUGHT that Titan class warship were immune to that due to size and sensor power.
