Capital ships: Difference between revisions

Line 77:

Titans, like supercarriers, are immune to electronic warfare, cannot dock and can only be tackled by interdictors and HICs.

They're able to fit and activate the largest and most lethal gun in the game: a doomsday device ("DD"), which does 2-3 million points of damage depending on the Titan pilot's skills. Doomsday devices can only be fired at capital ships, once every ten minutes, cost 50,000 racial isotopes to activate, prevent the titan from moving at all for 30 seconds and from using its jump drive for 10 minutes. Activating the doomsday device takes 10 seconds, so targets have some time to get out before the damage is applied. The device's range is 250 km (the hard coded maximum locking range).

Doomsday devices can only be fired at capital ships, once every ten minutes, cost 75,000 racial isotopes to activate, prevent the titan from moving at all for 30 seconds and from using its jump drive for 10 minutes. Activating the doomsday device takes 10 seconds, so targets have some time to get out before the damage is applied. The device's range is 250 km (the hard coded maximum locking range).

Titans can also fit a jump bridge module, which creates a bridge between the titan and a destination cyno, and allows friendly subcapitals near the titan to jump to that cyno.

~~Titans~~ have bonuses for their racial capital weapons, and ~~nowadays most titans actually fit them and participate in capital fights~~. The doomsday device is a very effective counter against people playing docking games with capitals, as the damage it does is enough to kill ~~any capital that is~~ not ~~either~~ tanked ~~specifically for~~ that damage type (which is a stupid thing to do, unless you know that a specific titan is ready to attack you and are trying to bait it) or fitted for the maximum possible effective hit points. It is possible to tank a capital against every type of DD at once, but doing so requires a gimped fit -- losing damage and range modules on a dreadnought, or the vital cap recharge on a carrier -- combined with good leadership bonuses and preferably Slave implants.

While titans have bonuses for their racial capital weapons they are primarily used for their doomsday and jump bridging capabilities. The doomsday device is a very effective counter against people playing docking games with capitals, as the damage it does is often enough to kill capitals not specifically tanked against that damage type.

Titans also have the ability to give out great leadership bonuses, even if they don't have any warfare links fitted (they are able to fit one for every titan skill level). Titans gives out a 7.5% bonus per titan skill level to armor amount for Gallente, shield amount for Caldari, cap recharge for Amarr and signature radius for Minmatar.
