Nothing is...slap a ripper launcher, a hefty thruster, and a bunch of shield killers on the tiniest of ships, and the Titan goes bye bye. Depending on what guns it uses, it might not even score so much as a glancing hit.

The only advantage the Titan has is in a direct head-on pass.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

As far as any VHF being unbeatable, I've spent a good deal of time on Elite in a Centurion killing VHFs (eagles included). Granted, I die a little bit more than I kill when fighting VHFs (only true in duels. I don't count my sudden descents on unsuspecting wreck looters), but I've wracked up my share of VHF kills also.

Personally, I'm in awe of those who take on VHFs in any LF. Those guys have the real guts.

Or they are like me and just plain suicidal. Although I am sure I could likely kill most Titans with a Drake and live to tell about it.

A wingman of mine ran a Banshee in the nomad cystems.
We PK with normal ships...
We kill nomads 4 fun - in an MP RP, they're the only true enemy....
Who needs a Titan to do it?
All the ships are different you Titan Eagle Sabre lovers.
They have pro's and con's.
Personally I think the Titan matches a mentality...
"I wanna be a tough B.stard w/ Big guns to newb kill and be GOD and Rich and can't spell lol pays no attention don't know crap g8ive me mONEY!."...

...and we don't go for that...Police yo system.







See you in Space...

with the right mods, anything can be invincible

-------
Your never too old to burn to death in a fire

speaking about the "right mods"... there is a "Nearly Invincible shield mod that i think comes w/ FLMM that is 1,000,000 shields with a 100,000 regeneration rate. combine that with White Star mod with 2 shield slots and nothing can get that shield bar to move

Give me a Titan and I can give u a head on pass every moment you see me.

It doesn't maneuver well, agreed. But if you think of it in space context, you don't need to out manuever light fighters, just have to get all of your guns pointed at the light fighter and he's toast.

How? Most space sim pilots would know this maneuver.
1. Fly backwards at 100+MS.
2. The light fighter tails you, blast it.
3. Seeing the hail of firepower flying at him, he will opt to break his attack and burn, point your mouse at the direction he is head, hit the burners and follow.
4. He tries to out manuever u again, execute the slide and get your guns pointed at him again.

Rinse and repeat.

Missiles are trickier, but same theory. Include counter-measures after you hear the "incoming missile." Would be nice to retaliate with a missile yourself. Which is a bug actually. While executing a -200ms slide, the missile should actually fly backwards since its speed is actually only 90ms.

Cruise Disruptors kick you out of enginekill mode aswell.

The eagle has less armor than the titan but much more moves - everything else about the two is practically the same. i bought an eagle because i was tired of the Titan.

heres a challenge if u can get all the way to planet malta in a starflier then you can take out anything with anything merley because u have mastared evasion

i did it took me a while but i did it

I prefer the saber as the best VHF but the best ship is definatly the Banshee

i beat a titan with a Rhino with very good shields and a speed mod by ramming into it......................................................................................................................................................a 5000 speed mod.


was very funny. it ran into atmosphere

Repair Ship > TItan
Eagle > TItan
Trade Lane > Titan
Patriot > Titan
Drake >>>>> TItan
Train > Titan


y helo thar

The Titan is far from unbeatable, it's true. The only time they are dangerous is if you're an enemy of the Corsairs and you jump into a system like Omicron Gamma or something. Often there are 6-8 Titans clustered around the Jump Hole, and even then it's possible to fight them off. Not too easy if you're in a mid-range ship though...

I'm not a fan of the Titan anyway. More manouverable ships are more fun to play as, and Class 10 weapons ain't all that.

Corona surfing - fun, but foolish.

it is the toughest ship in the game in my opinion even if it handles like a bus
