We need to bring back the days where these ships were rare in sight and players were in owe when they seen one. Increase build costs. Fix the game to match inflation with your silly “buy plex for isk” ---

An in-game Titan should cost as much as a real-life car. Oh wait, they kind-of already do? ---

People store them in citadels, carriers are stored in stations even. Each capital ship stored, assembled or not, should be treated as asset that generates cost, because of taking precious (virtual) human and infrastructure resources. ---

For sure standard non-super caps need to cost more than Faction/T2 BSes by a wide margin. I think CCP is seeing if resource distribution will have that effect before considering making other changes like jacking up input requirements to manufacture them. ---
