actually alott of people use their titans for other things then just just firing off the DD, for example the Titan makes logistics a breeze, since you can JP the freighters with ya, Ask any freighter pilot how much he would love to be able to do that.
Jump Portals are just awesome.

really? well if you ever get to see a titan Jump Portal in a 150 man Heavy BS sniper fleet to crush an enemy cap fleeet seiging your POS, you will see that it is infact very useful for combat.

Originally by: NanDeYaNen Man, that's a pretty risky maneuver. You mean a Titan just sitting around a POS somewhere can instantly Jump in a 150man sniper BS fleet to some system where the Titan is not? Again, the Titan is not actually in combat.
If I want to use a 500m nano ship, I have to fly it into heavy shit. If I want to use a 1.5bn dread, I have to put it on the line. If I want to use a titan to open a jump portal, I have to have enough gas and a cyno ship over on the other end. See the difference?
Titans do not exist in actual combat. When they do, everyone rushes over to tackle them like it's a triple Jovian hauler spawn.
Actually you dont know what your talking about, Because when you Jump Bridge The Titan goes too, Not just the fleet. And its not like it would be jumping into POS shields, Nope, Your out in the open exposed. If people run in terror after seeing it, thats their own problem.
P.S. You shouldnt comment on things you know nothing about.

I'd have to disagree with your logic there. That the Titan let 150 ships get into battle quickly does not mean that the titan itself is combat effective - it simply means that the titan facilitates the battle happening at all. Fufilling what ultimately amounts to a transport role makes this use of a Titan logistical at best, and while logistics support combat arms they must never be confused.
Say that when youve got a POS being sieged, and you have no way to get your fleet in other then through such a method. I can understand what your saying as it being a logistics role, i just see it differntly. I feel the titan Role depends on the nature of its mission, If they were JP'n some freighters to sell some stuff on market, OK thats definitly a logistic scenario. If hes Jump Portaling a fleet, or goin to DDD then thats in my eyes is its combat role. The Titan wasnt inteded to be a pure combat vessel either. Its ment to be a flag ship of sorts for you fleet, and just its presence alone can turn the tide of a battle.
