Guide To Titans In Eve Online - What Does $4000 Worth Of Internet Spaceship Look Like?

If you're interested in playing Eve Online you can sign up for an extended free trial: secure.eveonline.com/trial/?i...
Titans at 15km long supercapitals, they come with a giant 'doomsday' superweapon which will incinerate a regular capital ship in one shot, they carry smaller Capital sized weapon batteries and have the ability to support regular fleets with their jump bridge capabilities and jump clone facilities.
Building one of these in game takes months, and costs the equivalent of 3-4000 US dollars if you were to convert PLEX rather than making the money in game (depending on the exchange rate).

For those of you who don't play Eve, it should best be broken down like this: Skills are not XP based, they're time based, meaning you passively learn queued skills, online or offline. Because you're allowed to upgrade skills while not doing anything, they tend to take a long... LONG time to complete. Getting ONE of your Battleship skill from level IV to V takes about a month, depending on your attributes. Also, did I mention that you can only train one skill at a time? Just doing nothing but training skills that would get you into a Titan would take about a year. That's the bare absolute minimum, the last time I calculated it. Most Titan pilots have probably at least 5+ years under their belts, are extremely knowledgeable and skillful in fleet combat and are one of the most trusted members in their corporation.

What does a 4k dollar space ship look like? a primary target sad now that a blob of rookie ships can destroy it now if you get enough folks (i kinda miss the old dd weapons, but the new prototypes look sweat, i kinda like teh scything beam one)

[@Swoot]

Wait, so if your ship explodes, you have to start from scratch?

[@CopperLeagueGaming]

AHappyFace yes and no, if the ship epxlodes it's gone, some of the items equipped may survive the initial destruction, but the ship itself and a large portion of the items will be just gone, a player will need to purchase a entirely new ship, and possibly even a entirely new set of guns, and shields, and other modules to outfit the ship. a common saying in the eve world is do NOT fly something you can't afford to lose, for example, when i was playing (i take long breaks often) i commonly flew eithe ra worm, or agila (or a drake) these are my go to ships, the gila cost around 250 million isk, which in real world currency would make it about 5 dollars, that said i have three of them (my main and two are docked waiting for me to outfit it if my mian gets destroyed) there are several unique ships in teh games (where only 1 or 2 or 3 of the ships actually EXIST) they have prices in the tens of billions, or trillions of isk, and if they ever get destroyed, they are gone forever...(unless CCP does another event that gives the ship out, which is unlikely)

[@CopperLeagueGaming]

AHappyFace just to add, eve has two "lvl" systems in place one is a pilots skills, which is training up in real time by the player and basically says WHAT items they can use, or what ships they are able to fly, and how well they fly em (via stat bonus etc) as of now, this is permanent, if you die, you skills generally suffer no penalty (there are a few exceptions to this for high end eve gaming) and then their is the ship you are flying, and how it is outfitted, which has a monetary (in game moneys, not real) cost associated with it, if you die, your ship is destroyed, (and then you spawn in a escape capsule that you can use to flee, or get podded as well) when the ship is destroyed the specific ship no longer exists in teh game, sure there are other ships of teh same clas sout there, and people can make them, but you will have to buy them to replace it along with whatever you had equipped.

[@Swoot]

+CopperLeagueGaming Okay. Wow. So this is a really hardcore game.

[@InkubusGames]

Have a great respect for Eve players. I tried my trial long time ago and didn't find it attractive. Truth to be told, I tried solo as all of my friends were in "WOW for life" attitude. I assume this is hard achievement to have these huge ships. But without big guild I don't know how solo player can be efficient with having one of them or being able to obtain one. Can player in Eve online own his own space station? Like some trade hub or something? And another question: Opinions regarding Star Citizen and Eve Online?

[@johndolittle1667]

Not to say that you can't own your own pos (player owned station). You can. It may require you to run several accounts simultaneously, but this is common, especially with dedicated industrialists. One in particular I can think of is named Tengu Skunkworks. He operates a high sec pos (I believe, could be wrong) and is responsible for many of the t3 cruisers floating around new eden. For reference, each t3 cruiser is worth between 0.5b-1.1b ISK or $15 to $30 US, and he is capable of churning out hundreds at a time. Calling the dude rich is an understatement. There is a plethora of player made guides that teach you how to do this kind of stuff. Also, it is now possible to own orbital stations and collect taxes from other players who use them. I don't know how profitable that is, but apparently profitable enough to bring Goonfleet to high sec. Fly dangerous o7

[@petrosvol]

An alliance or a strong corporation can have station(s) in nullsec. A solo player has no reason to fly a Titan, because a Titan in EvE Online is a strategically used ship, therefore is used only in pvp fleets. Star Citizen is going to be better in PvP but it will lack massive pvp fleets (like 40.000 people battle). Overall, star citizen (from what we know), will lack the organic style of EvE. It will not be so player driven, nor the economy, neither the future of the game.

[@petrosvol]

I meant that players in EvE can build a real station (not a POS), A real station will cost you around 25 Billions (only in null security systems though). =) Come back to EvE and be a member of a good helpful corporation. It's relaxing and really unique a game. =)

[@privatename7797]

It takes more than a year of cost be damnned skill training on a player (I'm sure you realize how the Eve skill system works) just to make it titan worthy. That being said, traditionally, titans aren't for individual players. Alone, they're honestly quite vulnerable to a hungry pack and in that it takes months to build one, it's just not worth it.

[@InkubusGames]

It makes sense - it is meant for big guilds that will have an escort of other ships. I think that is good as long as it offers diversity for other player to play different things/playtyle. It seems to me, Eve does that.

[@scottmanley]

Usually alliances have teams that work on the logistics of production, they buy the minerals from hi-sec space ship them out to a secure corner of nullsec. THen they have to defend the production site for several weeks while the construction happens. It's a long long process.

[@robertg.2111]

[@AsitorCorporation]

I only just found out about this game after 13 years, I don't understand some parts so please could someone explain - Are Titans made by players? Was the whole CEO thing for the first one an NPC in a story or was it an actual player? I don't know exactly how this game works but it looks amazing and I just want to know if things are made by the game developers or if players build and design ships.

[@feiorn]

+Captain Capellini The part of the game not controlled by by NPC and able to be conquered by players is called Nullsec. In this areas groups of players called corporations work together for mutual defense and pool resources to build bigger and better ships. The "guild leader" of a corp will often take on the title of CEO or some other such business related title. To build one of these Titans it requires massive resources and often the combined efforts of many separate corporations of many hundreds to thousands of players. The first Titan built as you mention was from one of the largest player Alliances (group of many corporations working together) in the game at the time and took 3 months to build. The destruction of this titan actually led to the almost overnight collapse of one of the greatest alliances ever seen in the game at the time.

[@AsitorCorporation]

Wow. So players in the alliance had to gather resources for 3 months to build it? Also, is it like a group could create any ship they want or do they have to build ones that already exist? It would be really good if you could make your own custom shape and design and weapons.

[@feiorn]

+Captain Capellini Yah you can't design the ships they are based on the in game NPC Nations that exist in areas that players can not control. As to the resource gathering that is why it is like a corporation. Miners collect resources, traders transport goods and manufacturers produce components. These then all have to be sent to shipyards. The first titan was actually built in secret by the leaders of Ascendant Frontier in order to keep other alliances from coming in to destroy the project. So the member were just playing the game and contributing to the corporation that protected them from pirates and rival factions. This massive chain of thousands led to the creation of the first titan. If you are interested there is a really great history of the first 6 years of Eve called "Empires of Eve: A History of the Great Wars of Eve Online" by Andrew Groen for like $10 on Amazon. The world feels real with the rise and fall of great nations that held sway throughout the game's history.

[@DivShadow]

It's just calculated equivalents. 30 day game time cards sell in the stations for about 800 million ISK. Each card is about $20. They just run the price of the ship and its modules and divide it by the market value of the cards. Titans are a waste of time now. They're pointless to fly unless you just want a mobile jump bridge.

[@MegaLordBane]

Not just 4k, you have to get the account to be able to use it right off the bat. That's a lot of cash in itself. You'll get there yourself by playing the game, but with the conversion to irl money, you have figures. Most people would probably take isk instead.

Can somebody explain EVE to me in the simplest way possible?... no I'm not trolling I genuinely have no idea how this game works/plays/etc.

[@RG-xv3wc]

Go to wiki and stop asking us -_- nobody gives a shit about others these days

[@fearedjames]

Imagine a game that is entirely based around a large amount of players, where everything needs to be built using materials which are limited and can only be gotten by mining and production facilities. Now imagine all missions are simply other players paying you to do shit. Now imagine clans, called corporations, can hold territory. Basically, the entire game is a massive, truly dynamic universe.

[@RG-xv3wc]

I seriously doubt thats simple

[@fearedjames]

me nobody EVE is a unique game so I cant do it in one sentence by comparing to other games. The simpliest would be "A space sim MMO with a dynamic world" by that makes you think something completely wrong.

[@Draconisrex1]

me nobody Actually, I had two accounts and played for a year. It's pretty much as Rainbow described. THough there is something called "mission running" where you run missions for NPC corps, usually killing lots of mobs. There's also ratting (Killing NPC pirates in asteroid belts).

[@LogicalMan6]

Sounds good. I hope so, it has a lot of potential.

[@CorazonSierra]

that's so awesome. ive never been on the test server... i might try it out some time

[@rjnonameo2pl]

God, animation of titans weappons are so poor even now on end of 2014... :/ so pitty

[@TheConleyman]

I wouldn't call it Poor at all that being said the Leviathans dooms day looks like ass and the Avatars looks a little cheesy but the Erebus and Ragnarok doomsdays are more than awesome

[@rjnonameo2pl]

Are you ppl playing any other games? This special effect for dooms weapon looks like shit, comparing to its power and meaning. This effect/ animation is like 5 years ago. Ccp should work on it. And no, this is not bullshit talk, im working as graphic designer and as a player for last 20 years i see that somebody missed it or forgot. Eve is beautifull, lets show it correctly.

[@rjnonameo2pl]

***** i didnt wirte that i played eve for 20 years ffs :/ wasnt that so logic? :) in eve for 6 years, and yeah, if u ever play only EVEonline, so yes, maby this what u see there is enuff for you. hehehe, and im home, just starting drink :)

[@F20SW]

Alahim Janu They are finally releasing a reanimation for them this year, they look sick!

[@welshfluteplayer]

Sound like a lot of people need to get a life.

[@Prince_Sharming]

Sounds like you cant tolerate the fact that people have hobbies outside of yours.

[@Aldnon]

Yeah... bro, even some US diplomats play this game, no you get a life sir. Since only people with money can play this game.

[@Prince_Sharming]

MrAntiFag Its not as if the ships cost money irl, its just the conversion from in game currency to real money, as icelandic krona is used in the game

[@rolininthemud]

Stop feeding the troll... let it starve.... >:D

[@eddsmokalot6200]

Mmm...now that 4 years have passed...how long out of that time that you were not online ?

[@danarosenthal9472]

Has anyone else noticed all the titans look like drugs? The Caldari Leviathan looks like a chunk of crystal, the Amarr Avatar looks like a magic mushroom, the Minmatar Ragnarok looks like a blunt, and the Gallente Erebus looks like the nug that's about to be rolled into the aforementioned blunt.

[@toryunaminosaki1022]

I love the Ragnarok, it's my goal in Eve to fly one at least once..even though I tend to prefer my Cheetah solo and a Rapier for battles

[@The_Gallowglass]

If you pay that much for a video game then you have no life.

[@Optropicraft]

Ó Slatraigh If you come to this video to hate then you can fuck off. People take this shit seriously. I've seen 18 million dollar prize pools.

[@The_Gallowglass]

Kahmoj I can fuck off, but I wont. :D ***** Uh huh :D

[@DreaMeRHoLic]

+Ó Slatraigh If you are not intelligent intelligent enoth to understand his video.. then why dont you just shut up? Those ships have the equivalent of 4000$. It doesnt mean that someone did spent this money on something. It just means that the items that the 1000+ people alliance used to build this ship are worth this much in "plex". The ships are build from taxes that the alliance members payed over time from their ingame money, not from RL money. Just because someone in RL is the captain of a aircraftcarrier doesnt mean that he did buy and build this thing... he is just in charge of command over value, because of his position. Even if you would pay 4000$, you wouldnt be abel to use this thing anyway, because you're just a big target without support. Its just like a canon.. you cant kill a fly with it, because its build to destory BIG things.

[@The_Gallowglass]

DreaMeRHoLic wot

[@massv953]

+Ó Slatraigh no one is actually paying 4k irl money, but the time and resources that often hundreds of people have to gather to make 1 titan are equivalent to 4 thousand dollars in plex(game time cards worth 250-500 million isk(eve money) each

[@Cybraxas]

I liked the reading a lot :)

[@wingon12]

He's on the test server (SiSi) where you can fly anything and do anything. Lots of people tend to group up in titans and have big shoot-em-ups.

[@ZoruaZorroark]

before certain updates changed how titan super weapons worked, i always wondered if a sub-cap ship was able to tank a doomsday hit with certain sub-cap ships fitted very specifically (that will not be used outside of being for the lulz)

[@justiny9926]

Your way of speech reminds me of Alexander Anderson from Hellsing, haha. Pretty entertaining!

[@cmiso1]

@scott manley, the way you described the AVATARS doomsday weapon was beautiful XD

[@828Morten]

I was wanting a video showing off the titans and their super weapons for ages, thank you for the video. =) A video about the dreadnoughts would be grate. =)

[@Wilfoe]

I like your accent. The way you word this makes it seem like these ships can be designed by players...

[@Mrhappytofu97]

Goddamn, I love hearing this guy read out descriptions. He should really look into voice acting ^^

[@Paganinifire]

why are others always trying to put people down when they make such a great video or trying to share great deeds or knowledge... you can be watching a video on how someone lost they're life in the line of duty and you still get these half human youtube people that try and make fun of those that are out there challenging life and sharing with the human race... Flounder thank you for standing up and correcting this problem

[@scottmanley]

My main character has the skills to fly every ship in the game (except the dev ships)

[@potatokitty]

Even today these things are amazing.

[@Apocaron]

great video and great storytelling !!!

[@Blockolicious]

i love the flying backwards halo 2 beam rifle

[@kahlzun]

Those ones are. They are each 18 km long, or a little shorter than Manhattan island. The little boxes you saw flying around were other players ships, which get as small as about 60 ft. All shown at the same time with the same scale.

[@SarcasticGherkin]

I've thought about it too, and decided that perhaps the engines aren't always equally powered, like on the Catalyst. For example, the more powerful engine would be "supporting" the heaviest part of the spaceship, and the weaker the lighter part. And correct me if I'm wrong, but one doesn't need to constantly burn one's engines to keep moving, but you need to do that in Eve. Very upsetting. But I love the game!

[@Pieh0]

Eve uni is an alliance that holds classes and training events to teach you all the bits about eve that you need. And a no-sec alliance is an alliance that lives in lawless space, its where 99% of the epic battles are held, due to being able to use capital ships and having your own infrastructure to defend.

[@dgnslyr90]

He reminds me of the scotsman quoting those lines from The Rundown

[@aztecgoldmontizuma]

With his accent that poetry of god's wrath was the second most terrifying moment in my life.

[@jeremym5274]

I remember the days, Rise & Fall of Band of Brothers (BoB). Of all alliances in game, it's one of the ones I respect most. I would have enjoyed flying with them. At a time, they were very highly organized. No one stood a chance against them.
