They have always been able to enter lowsec just not use the DD. The new DD work in lowsec so bye bye station hugging dreads/carriers.

Originally by: Kuar Z'thain Read the feedback thread in the test server forum. I think everyone agrees no properly fit carrier or dread will survive this. Unless you want to drop a few extra bill on your fitting.
CAP PILOTS: If you see a Titan, you run.
Then perhaps the definition of a "proper" fit will change.
I'm not saying the below setup is a proper fit, but it would take the hit at 2.5M EHP (2.6M vs. EM):
[Moros, Strukta] Damage Control II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Reinforced Bulkheads II Reinforced Bulkheads II Reinforced Bulkheads II Reinforced Bulkheads II
Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution
Siege Module I Dual 1000mm Railgun I, Guristas Lead Charge XL Dual 1000mm Railgun I, Guristas Lead Charge XL Dual 1000mm Railgun I, Guristas Lead Charge XL
Large Anti-Explosive Pump I Large Trimark Armor Pump I Large Trimark Armor Pump I
OMFG. Please tell me you are not a cap pilot.
Also, what if the titan pilot has doomsday 4 trained? You still die.

Yes, I too, think it is a good idea to theorycraft a Phoenix fitting that allows you to tank a DD but makes it bad at actually shooting anything.
How ist "bad at actually shooting anything" ? It has 2 damage mods, but even if you remove 1 pds and fit 3 damage mods it still have over 3 million EHP. Because it's tank is in the medslots, it can still have a solid tank while fitting damage mods, that's the advantage of it compared to the other dreads.

Originally by: TimMc Doesn't this mean when you fire a new DD, another 2 titans are going to double DD you which will instantly kill you? Then those 2 titans will be double DD by 4 titans, and then those 4 titans...
titans and supercarriers are getting a substantial hp boost.
I read the forums assuming there are no trolls, only really stupid people.

I dont think Titans can enter low-sec.
They have always been able to enter lowsec just not use the DD. The new DD work in lowsec so bye bye station hugging dreads/carriers.
Well its BYE-BYE everything.
Basicaly when this comes in there is no point in fitting anything other then a fully insured, t2 ship - as you will always be rounghly 25 seconds from being instatpopped. No pilot skills will save you, no team work, no gurilla tactics, no cunning fits, no LV5 skills.
(cyno, system load, lock, 3million shoop cannon in your face, POD!!!)
So no drive to improve your setup, no faction ships, no faction gear.
Small-medium lowsec corps have a hard enough time of it already, with groups of bored mothership pilots hotdropping them willy nilly. But as least with some teamwork you can get out of that with minimal losses (remote repping each other for the cool off period before jumping out)
We have however, been mercifully clear of any TITANS due to the DD not working in low sec. Well thats if you dont count them jump bridging 30 freighters full of loot onto a high sec gate(freighters that original would have needed an escort, provided a basis for fights, and aided the meagre living pirates have to grind out)
Not any more. Another lowsec nerf whilst CCP whitter inanely on about "boosting lowsec".
So get your faction ships and modules on the market for the people in high sec to buy and get yourself a stock of exciting vanilla ships.
How can I be so right all the time? I dont know. Of course the DD changes are "not final" atm - but you watch them go through with it.

the titan will be a powerhouse thats for sure, but there are alot more ms than there are titans, and a ms can take a good few shots from the new titan and can fit the new anti capital bombers, which i hear hurts caps pretty nicely.
i wont bother to predict what will happen (i don;t know) but it will end up in epicly huge fights, or no one confronting each other! esp with the moon gold nerf.

Originally by: Crackzilla
The issue isn't with 1 titan. The issue is when one side shows up with 80+ dreads and the other shows up with 25 titans + dreads + carriers. Can the 80+ dreads kill a titan or two before they all die?
Point #1: This isn't a balanced scenario in any case, as 80 dreads are not worth as much as even two titans by themselves. Obviously the side with 50x the amount of isk on the field is going to win.
Point #2: If the Titan weapon has a five minute cooling period then the twenty-five Titans aren't going to kill more than 25 dreads immediately. If the remaining 50 dreads can kill a single titan, they're winning in isk terms.
Point #3: What if one team turns up with 25 titans + dreads + carriers and the other turns up with 300 tech II fit battleships + tackles? Some of those Titans are going to die, and there's no way they can make up the loss of a single Titan attrition-wise, even if they kill the entire enemy fleet.
Pointr #4: Your lolterm projections fail to take into account that Titans are going to die more often if they're actively used in battle, preventing any sustained overabundance. For all of the reasons listed above, they're mostly going to be used in hotdrops to gank smaller groups of Titans. That means the Alliances with Titans are going to be the ones mostly fielding Titans against each other.
Conclusion: the Titan changes finally incorporate them into the existing Eve size/power progression, where large ships can do more damage but are balanced by being less cost-effective v.s. larger numbers of small ships. The result is that all ship types are suddenly viable again for all classes of combat engagement. If nothing else, Alliances are going to be forced to hire large numbers of battleship pilots as they won't be able to defend space simply by spending isk on single ships any more - but doing that is still viable. Everybody wins.

I predict the demand for slavesets is going to go up even further. (Take that, bulkhead users!)
Either way, I had the honor of testing a revelation against a titan on Sisi. Do -not- underestimate that damage bonus. Five titans will do a lot more to the opposing fleet than pop five dreads every five minutes.

This is a stupid thread.
The Titan DD change is amazing, though imho UNDERPOWERED!
And for you all thinking a titan will pop your dread/rork/T3 ship, why the hell is that ship staying around long enough TO GET TARGETED, LOCKED, AND SHOT AT BY A DOOMSDAY WEAPON??? And where is your support?

they sauid soemwhere that builed titanz will be more difficult. they also need to be on the field to target an dshoot. so i dont think there is any need for emo. yes they will sometimes come to 1 shoot you, but they will need a pretty big support fleet to not die.

So speaketh the voice of high sec mission running. I will take the time to educate you though.
If you are tackled on a gate, you cannot warp out.
Normaly the procedure for bored MoM pilots will be to send in a tanked ship or two with a selection of scrams, webs and disruptors.
When you engage the target - It will tackle you and fire a cyno. A few seconds later several MOMS will appear, RR the tackle ship, lock you up, drop fighters, engage fighters.
At this point, as soon as the cyno goes up, your options are to try to warp out leaving one or two of the scrambled/disrupted ships to die
Or you can remain on the gate, Remote Rep who they have primaried and jump out when your aggro drops. If the enemy have a gang waiting for you on the other side (note this is my experience very rare) you can engage them on the other side without the benefit of their moms.
Decent skills, fits, rigs, and team work can negate a lot of the effect of the MOMs and enable you to minimise losses and indeed many times escape with no loss.
However, with a 3 million HP weapon,
NO SKILLS NO TEAMWORK NO FITTINGS NO NOTHING
Will prevent your ship being instapopped. As soon as the cyno goes up - those implants you saved up for and those skills you spent months getting to lv5 are worthless. As are the fits you assembled. That bhallgorn you saved up for, your pimp faction fit raven, your T3 ship, is dead.
Stop making yourself look stupid. Arguing with me about low sec piracy is like arguing with the Bear-Pope about crapin in the vatican.

And it's going to take that Titan how many minutes to lock your ship? During which you've got plenty of time to kill that tackler (Which will also take minutes to lock for the titan). The titan will have to lock your ship, then fire the DD. Teamwork, good skills and good fittings will all help to prevent your ship being instapopped, because all you have to do to avoid being instapopped is avoid being locked by the ship class with the single worst sensor resolution in the history of EVE Online.
