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.

'The first one was piloted by the CEO at the time...but in a war with Bob, it was later destroyed.' LOLS. This is such a whack game. If only I had unlimited time on my hands, I'd play it.
Most important thing to know when flying a Titan is the difference between the Jump and Bridge commands, much comedy and tears result from mixing those up.

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)
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)
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.

As a Titan owner on the live server I can say they are very useful for PVP drops. But can be a bitch to take care of. Need a medium to large POS with lots of gun turrets to ward off reds etc, need to keep the POS fueled as well as the Titan. I paid 115 billion ISK for my Titan if anyone is wondering.

Kartik Mathur Yes, BoB killed first 3 titans. They were the best PVP alliance back than. Also they won a Titan in a CCP PVP Tournament. They had lots of spies in other alliances so they prevented them from having such powerful ships. Titans in those days had Doomsday Device capable of killing hundreds of ships at one click of a button.
"In a war with Bob it was later demolished" and the name of that Titan??? "Steve" Movies always try and have cool names but this is real life for you. Your enemy is called Bob. Your ship, Steve.
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?
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
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.
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. =)
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.
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.
GTgaming69 In norse mythology Gjallarhorn is a horn that can be heard by both gods and men. It's only to be blown if someone tries to cross the bridge between Midgard and Åsgard, waking the gods. It also marks the beginning of Ragnarok.
They would all look so much better if the engines were just put on the opposite side of the ship, they all look so wonky and weird with the big bulky part at the front, including the Avatar, though it is the one that looks the best.
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.
Chiriac Puiu Yeah, but in wow, the game time token is meant to be used by poor people, who can play wow enought to farm those golds, but after while, they will get tired of taht and start s to buy game time .
Market trading, understanding the changes that are coming with releases - I figured out the ice belt changes were coming weeks before it was officially announced. My stocks of fuel I bought are worth twice what they were.
Could you imagine fighting a war, destroying the flagship of the enemy fleet and then having them return a few hours later after it respawns? You can't fight a proper war if your enemy magically respawns their war assets.
It was a scripted game event, the Leviathan that was protecting Caldari Prime was attacked by a gallente fleet and destroyed, the wreckage crashed to the planet and was visible in Dust 514 maps.
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.
+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.
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.
+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.
I've only known about this game for 24 hours but this is the greatest game ever. Thanks for filling me in on this, I've enjoyed playing it today and I really want to join a great empire one day. I just found out that there was a battle where $300,000 worth of items that don't even exist were destroyed.
BoomBoomPows bro It's supposed to be a massive scale realistic space simulator, that's the whole selling point, it's realistic and is a really deep and absorbing game.
BoomBoomPows bro Not really, I'm running it on full settings on a £300 desktop that I haven't upgraded one bit, I'm getting really strong FPS but that being said, I haven't went into any REALLY busy areas yet so I'm expecting loads of fps drop when I enter those. There's a 30 day free trial so I'd give it a try if I were you, worst comes to worst and you realise the game isn't for you and you move on while spending no money at all.
BoomBoomPows bro you dont need high end at all. It's pretty optimized for low and high end alike. I play EvE on an '07 vista, stock card, 32 bit OS..and still handles this game with decent settings too.
Eve uni is an alliance that holds classes and training events to teach you all the bits about eve that you need. And a no-sec alliance is an alliance that lives in lawless space, its where 99% of the epic battles are held, due to being able to use capital ships and having your own infrastructure to defend.
+xavier k. haberle its actuly 15. BUT within a month of playing,... you earn enough IN GAME cash to pay it off, as you can buy ur sub with in game money... meaning if you grind it, its gonna be free.
DartLuke its not that i cant afford it, its that its to much of a waste of money for a RTS especially when i dont like RTSes that much. i could do what +Cody Evans said to do, but that takes alot of devotion and work, not something im really willing to put into a game just to keep playing it.
Nice little guide and show and tell about the Titans unless you were curious about the Erebus didn't get to see it fire its weapons and its combat section was totally cut out.
" value " is relative. No one would actually pay 4,000$ for a Titan. So that can't be its true value. True value is what someone would actually realistically pay.
actually in the in game matrials it a massive corperation a year in some cases to gather the resources to build a titan that much minerals and so on costs alot of isk ( the ingame currency) and since ccp as provided eve players witha way to buy isk $20 gets you about 600mill isk so when they say $4000 dollars they mean $4000
only wow players spend 1000$ on eve 4000$ is just the real world value of a titan in reality 120,000,000,000,000isk (in game currency) $4000 is just how much you would spend if you dont want to go through collecting that much money and paying for plex to get the resources instead.
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.
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.
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
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.
***** 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 :)
Read my second post. It's not an atmospheric problem, it's a matter of balanced thrust. The ship is going to have a center of mass and if the thrust is not aligned with that center of mass it will flip end over end. Or at the very least it will veer off into a curve. Even if your spacecraft were taking off from an air-less moon it would still need a properly centered engine. I do agree, it's not a big deal since the game isn't that focused on realism. I still feel it's worth noting.
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
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.
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.
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).
I have seen all of these titans in 1 battle along with the caldari, Minmitar, Gallente, and Amar super carriers also in the same battle. Freaking crazy battle with over 2300 some odd people duking it out. Most amazing thing I have ever seen ( including the lag ).

+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.
+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
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.
Worth mentioning the original Doomsday was different, it was a huge 200km radius AOE that was able to wipe out entire fleets in one blast, which anchored them for 10 min, which was the fate of Steve after taking out a 200 man fleet, got dog piled by EVERYTHING, i was in the fleet wiped out by Steve... Belive it or not someones famous last words on TS where "Thats not a BS!!!!" Only Heavily passive tanked BS with command-ship support, and the command-ships them self, where the only sub caps to withstand the blast.
They have the AoE Doomsday weps back but it's not 200km and it's a lot less damage than it used to be. Basically they have 3 types now. Huge damage to one target, less damage but in a line (damages everything between you and target) and aoe around the target for even less damage.
Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I will not be able to play EVE right now, or in the near future. But when/if I do, I'll be sure to take you up on it.
If I started playing this game when this video uploaded, by the time I posted this comment I still probably wouldn't be anywhere near piloting a Titan.
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.
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.
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!
You either loved or hated Band of Brothers back in their glory days. But secretly I believe everyone had to respect them on some level. They made the null sec side of this game absolutely awesome.
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)
Oh lord if there was an EVE book or film I can see this quote being used: "They say the first titan was built by a MIGHTY leader, forged in the fires of hell itself by a madman, it was loss in a war was a tragedy unlike any other... and it was called... Steve"
to point out you need a HIC or dictor to scram a titan as they are immune to all e-war you need a HIC's infinity point or a warp bubble to stop them from jumping
In space, the shape doesn't matter - its the center of mass. The ships are weirdly shaped, sure, but the engines are reasonably placed to account for that. They could very well be balanced - the center of mass in such a ship could be 'adjusted' by heavy-mass internal components - ammo stores, warp core, fuel, engines, whatever that might be. They're not realistic, sure, but its entirely possible for them to have balanced thrust.
I don't know, I think Steve is an awesome name for a massive spaceship that kills things dead.

Elthenar Good point.
Space Nazis? Anyone? Im playing an Amarrian and I always get nazi/protoss vibes xD
Amarr aren't Nazi's. Amarr is closer to the Spanish Inquisition.
i want an eve documentary... the complete history..
You mean complete history?
Yeez, I think you don't know what *complete* means if you want one for Eve. How many weeks do you want it to last?
Oh ye It would like 18 years long
Eve looks like such a cool game but super complex to get into
it is
It warps off to a random spot powers down and it becomes undiscoverable. That takes a minute (or longer if you'ver been involved in PVP)
Titan the most overused word of 2013 from movies to video games everything is TITAN
You realize titans have been in eve for like 5+ years right?
The Greeks must be proud of their mythology right now.
Titan Fall hahahaha
Attack on Titan!
Gtfo titan hater!
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?
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
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.
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. =)
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.
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.
The ragnaroks doomsday run is gjallarhorn? Hmm i wonder if this is why the best gun in destiny is also called gjallarhorn
GTgaming69 The name comes from norse mythology.
GTgaming69 In norse mythology Gjallarhorn is a horn that can be heard by both gods and men. It's only to be blown if someone tries to cross the bridge between Midgard and Åsgard, waking the gods. It also marks the beginning of Ragnarok.
GTgaming69 Anyone Notice that Some Titans look like trains? ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAINS! Toot Toot!
GTgaming69 thorn :) (ONCE I DELETED A EXOTIC ENGRAM ON ACCIDENT!!)
+vindikaktus Midgård and Asgård*
All the titans besides the Avatar look backwards. Typical Eve Online spaceships. XD
They would all look so much better if the engines were just put on the opposite side of the ship, they all look so wonky and weird with the big bulky part at the front, including the Avatar, though it is the one that looks the best.
@@LordDim1 arguably that's better, that way you have more buffer on the bridge.
Just so you all know this is how the ship was named
Hammy - Let's call it steve
ALL HAIL STEVE!
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.
$4000 for a space mushroom on a game server? Seems like a real waste of money.
Chiriac Puiu Yeah, but in wow, the game time token is meant to be used by poor people, who can play wow enought to farm those golds, but after while, they will get tired of taht and start s to buy game time .
I can only imagine the violent screeching that took place when Steve was going down.
So 70 of these things were destroyed, in the big battle Roosterteeth was talking about?
seems so. that's why i came here myself :P
Market trading, understanding the changes that are coming with releases - I figured out the ice belt changes were coming weeks before it was officially announced. My stocks of fuel I bought are worth twice what they were.
I want to see if someone filled the entire thing with civilian miners and see how fast it can mine an asteroid
Interesting description for the Erebus, it's almost word for word with the EVE Prophecy trailer
i hoped that no mans sky would have been a game like this but simpler to play and easier to start... how sad day it was when i found out..
Lasse u they never even made it look like that. completely your fault.
You can check out X3 and it's expansion.It's on a smaller scale and sp,but it's overall the same game.
Lasse u empyrion is tge closest game i have found that fits your discription.
yep, another mile long and a foot deep game. eve`s complexity and depth is yet to be matched.
You have a natural talent for narration.
Wait a minute, if you destroy a ship in this game, is it gone forever?
+fluffyrevenge22 yes, how else would you handle war in this scale
Dear lord almighty, can't imagine building a titan then having it destroyed...
I'm so glad I never played this game now...
Could you imagine fighting a war, destroying the flagship of the enemy fleet and then having them return a few hours later after it respawns? You can't fight a proper war if your enemy magically respawns their war assets.
Scott Manley You're very right, I guess this game is pushing to be the ultimate space war simulator and I respect that. Thanks a lot for replying!
It was a scripted game event, the Leviathan that was protecting Caldari Prime was attacked by a gallente fleet and destroyed, the wreckage crashed to the planet and was visible in Dust 514 maps.
"In a war with Bob, Steve was lost"
Pumblechook 1 band of brothers,
Yes, I've been playing eve for a long time, so I figured 'why not' and trained the skills.
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.
+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.
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.
+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.
I've only known about this game for 24 hours but this is the greatest game ever. Thanks for filling me in on this, I've enjoyed playing it today and I really want to join a great empire one day. I just found out that there was a battle where $300,000 worth of items that don't even exist were destroyed.
+Captain Capellini yeah happened because one guy forgot to pay the bill
I'm confused about Eve online why acting so realistic?
BoomBoomPows bro It's supposed to be a massive scale realistic space simulator, that's the whole selling point, it's realistic and is a really deep and absorbing game.
Riley Anon
Oh, thanks. And also it seems like you need a pretty expensive graphics card. :P
BoomBoomPows bro Not really, I'm running it on full settings on a £300 desktop that I haven't upgraded one bit, I'm getting really strong FPS but that being said, I haven't went into any REALLY busy areas yet so I'm expecting loads of fps drop when I enter those.
There's a 30 day free trial so I'd give it a try if I were you, worst comes to worst and you realise the game isn't for you and you move on while spending no money at all.
BoomBoomPows bro you dont need high end at all. It's pretty optimized for low and high end alike. I play EvE on an '07 vista, stock card, 32 bit OS..and still handles this game with decent settings too.
Riley Anon
Might try it out, how much Gigabytes of space does it use?
If you make 8 Digits, why the fuck not.
Fraktallity - Fifa 15 Videos Hahahaha nobody actually buys these things, they earn them ingame. In theory, you could buy it, but I'm not sure why...
That's what I thought. Frankly I really like the look of the Amarr, and the Gallente after them.
I've heard training can take up to... well awhile
this game is so dark. literally dark i can't see shit.
there's not much surface in space that can reflect or absorb light. if you look at the star, it's so bright it hurts
The anwser to the question in the video title is... EPIC!!
you should write an EVE Bible; you'r good at it.
With his accent that poetry of god's wrath was the second most terrifying moment in my life.
Whoever designed those ships have an obsession with Phallus's.
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.
i wish this game wasent a subscription deal, it looks really cool, but not 10 dollars a month cool.
+xavier k. haberle its actuly 15. BUT within a month of playing,... you earn enough IN GAME cash to pay it off, as you can buy ur sub with in game money... meaning if you grind it, its gonna be free.
+xavier k. haberle if you can't afford 15 dollar per month for game you shouldn't play games, you should find job.
DartLuke its not that i cant afford it, its that its to much of a waste of money for a RTS especially when i dont like RTSes that much. i could do what +Cody Evans said to do, but that takes alot of devotion and work, not something im really willing to put into a game just to keep playing it.
xavier k. haberle this is MMORPG, not rts
DartLuke whatever, still not paying 15 a month for a game that consists of mostly looking at spreadsheets.
Nice little guide and show and tell about the Titans unless you were curious about the Erebus didn't get to see it fire its weapons and its combat section was totally cut out.
" value " is relative. No one would actually pay 4,000$ for a Titan. So that can't be its true value. True value is what someone would actually realistically pay.
Materials modules ect are bought though.
people are paying thousands of dollars for small personal ships in Star Citizen, so yeah, people would pay that much for them.
actually in the in game matrials it a massive corperation a year in some cases to gather the resources to build a titan that much minerals and so on costs alot of isk ( the ingame currency) and since ccp as provided eve players witha way to buy isk $20 gets you about 600mill isk so when they say $4000 dollars they mean $4000
People that spend 1000s of dollars on any game are fools.
only wow players spend 1000$ on eve 4000$ is just the real world value of a titan in reality 120,000,000,000,000isk (in game currency) $4000 is just how much you would spend if you dont want to go through collecting that much money and paying for plex to get the resources instead.
Thanks Scott... It actually was my first time seeing all the titans.
Guys, go to 1:50 and turn on subtitles, :D
My main character has the skills to fly every ship in the game (except the dev ships)
So I must pay 4000$ to be able to get that? Hmm such an expensive game isnt it
Or just play the game for 3 years and be good at making money.
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.
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.
How did u not notice that scott manley replied to your comment. Thats messed up bra
well its about $1700 a titan
has anyone told Scott that his voice is something everyone can fall asleep to?
God, animation of titans weappons are so poor even now on end of 2014... :/ so pitty
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
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.
***** 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 :)
Alahim Janu They are finally releasing a reanimation for them this year, they look sick!
Read my second post.
It's not an atmospheric problem, it's a matter of balanced thrust. The ship is going to have a center of mass and if the thrust is not aligned with that center of mass it will flip end over end. Or at the very least it will veer off into a curve. Even if your spacecraft were taking off from an air-less moon it would still need a properly centered engine.
I do agree, it's not a big deal since the game isn't that focused on realism. I still feel it's worth noting.
it's pronounced "yarlhorn"
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
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.
Go to wiki and stop asking us -_- nobody gives a shit about others these days
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.
I seriously doubt thats simple
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.
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).
I love the Light Saber pic you used for your video.
So poetic, sucks that I just came to see the ships. :P Jk.
I have seen all of these titans in 1 battle along with the caldari, Minmitar, Gallente, and Amar super carriers also in the same battle. Freaking crazy battle with over 2300 some odd people duking it out. Most amazing thing I have ever seen ( including the lag ).
lol awesome how he tells this
the Avatar is a massive mushroom, Erebus is a horse's head, Leviathan is a Erebus repainted, the Ragnarock is a old-fashioned galleon without the sails
nerds!
Nerds, Nerds Everywhere
Since the candy factory exploded the entire district has been covered by three feet of the confectionary. Careful excavations of the factory ground has yelded striking evidence for...
Even today these things are amazing.
If you pay that much for a video game then you have no life.
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.
Kahmoj I can fuck off, but I wont. :D
***** Uh huh :D
+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.
DreaMeRHoLic wot
+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
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.
Sound like a lot of people need to get a life.
Sounds like you cant tolerate the fact that people have hobbies outside of yours.
Yeah... bro, even some US diplomats play this game, no you get a life sir. Since only people with money can play this game.
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
Stop feeding the troll... let it starve.... >:D
Mmm...now that 4 years have passed...how long out of that time that you were not online ?
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
Worth mentioning the original Doomsday was different, it was a huge 200km radius AOE that was able to wipe out entire fleets in one blast, which anchored them for 10 min, which was the fate of Steve after taking out a 200 man fleet, got dog piled by EVERYTHING, i was in the fleet wiped out by Steve... Belive it or not someones famous last words on TS where "Thats not a BS!!!!" Only Heavily passive tanked BS with command-ship support, and the command-ships them self, where the only sub caps to withstand the blast.
They have the AoE Doomsday weps back but it's not 200km and it's a lot less damage than it used to be. Basically they have 3 types now. Huge damage to one target, less damage but in a line (damages everything between you and target) and aoe around the target for even less damage.
Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I will not be able to play EVE right now, or in the near future. But when/if I do, I'll be sure to take you up on it.
If I started playing this game when this video uploaded, by the time I posted this comment I still probably wouldn't be anywhere near piloting a Titan.
you don't have to use real money, it's merely an option to get things easier. Everything in game can be purchased with in game credits.
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.
Just an FYI I really like all your videos, I got a 15minute ad... didn't skip :)
I like your accent.
The way you word this makes it seem like these ships can be designed by players...
A ship is just a vessel, your charackter doesn't die usually, and if he does, there is a cloning mechanic that makes a clone of him.
lmfao, this game obviously has a great community. youre a shining star man. don't change, no matter how people hate you.
"the Titan was called Steve..." Best line ever.
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.
One small, tiny, tiny correction at 8:32 they're called Fighter-Bombers, Stealth bombers are the player controlled ships.
i play eve eve too good to see you transitioned from eve to kerbal
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.
Avatar = Cork
Erebus = Shoe
Leviathan = Tree Bark
Ragnarok = Korean Meat Skewer
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!
i love the flying backwards halo 2 beam rifle
You either loved or hated Band of Brothers back in their glory days. But secretly I believe everyone had to respect them on some level. They made the null sec side of this game absolutely awesome.
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)
Oh lord if there was an EVE book or film I can see this quote being used: "They say the first titan was built by a MIGHTY leader, forged in the fires of hell itself by a madman, it was loss in a war was a tragedy unlike any other... and it was called... Steve"
to point out you need a HIC or dictor to scram a titan as they are immune to all e-war you need a HIC's infinity point or a warp bubble to stop them from jumping
Brilliant Scott. Your Eve vids and talks are awesome, I originally subbed for KSP, but the eve content lately has been great!
In space, the shape doesn't matter - its the center of mass. The ships are weirdly shaped, sure, but the engines are reasonably placed to account for that. They could very well be balanced - the center of mass in such a ship could be 'adjusted' by heavy-mass internal components - ammo stores, warp core, fuel, engines, whatever that might be. They're not realistic, sure, but its entirely possible for them to have balanced thrust.
your accent makes the descriptions way more epic
