TEC Titan: a mobile Novalith

I think we tried that with the Atlantian Avatar in 7 Deadly Sins.  Didn't work iirc.  The ship blasts the hell out of planets and enemy fleets however, so we're happy.

Eh... No comment, really. I can just hope the Titans are all their cracked up to be, and don't turn into JaMarcus Russels...

Why do you need mobile Novaliths when they allready have unlinmted range for doing just that?

I personaly hate the planet killers, I made a mod and turned them into Ion Cannons for inner planetary defensive systems.  Works great for taking out smaller frigates quickly, and protecting your rear areas.

Perhaps because an ordinary Novalith can very easily be destroyed by a small raiding force of carriers/bombers or Ogrovs, whereas a Titan will (?) be nearly impossible to take down.

That said, I don't like the Novalith much anyway...

I don't want to discount what your concerns are, but I don't usually leave my back areas unguarded when im off conquering.  I place a Star base with a ton of defense turrets close by it to take on anything they throw at it. and I usually leave one fleet behind for defense if needed.  I always defend the hell out of my homworld where most of my resources are.

Ah, you're thinking of games against clueless AIs, which can be very easily stumped by a single starbase... I was thinking more about games played against opponents capable of making strategic decisions, like on ICO.

Yep, Ive never found much fun in fighting against others. And this goes way back a long time ago at a LAN party we once had.  it turned really sour when one of the players was really good at Quake 2 DM and was killing one of the other guys. not intentional, he just happened be the one that got killed by him a lot.  he got really upset and pushed his monitor into another guys monitor. and things went bad.  so from that point on we as friends decided there would be no more DM games, that we would only play against the AI.  and it hasnt failed us yet.

But again, you can still do what you want in the back area by building a Starbase abnd lots of defense to protect it.  but by the time another player got to the cannon, you would have killed a bunch of his planets anyway.  but as I said, i took them out of the game and made them into Ion Cannons, they work so much better and are a lot more viable like that if you ask me.  My Friends even agree and like them too.

Like Wrath, I don't build superweapons anyway, so i don't know.

I would see it as better to build lots of carriers than novaliaths.

well, it's a supercarrier now.

I would like for a titan to be able to bombard planets from afar--but not too far...

Sort of like a short-range Novaliath?
