The game is 20 years old it’s time for a change and we should be looking at adding more ways to make that isk grided easier. No reason why we can’t have mining titans but it should have the same info as rorqual but can mine like having three rorquals on the grid. ISK cost should be the same as the normal cost to build a titan in the game now.
RISK vs REWARD is up to the player!

I think i prefer some type of mining doomsday. One that can do single target mining like a normal mining laser but with insane m3 per second and also a doomsday that does AoE. This will be ground breaking in EVE online. A mining laser that mines in a AoE radius, if its possible technically. Queue the usual NooOoOo you cant do that posts
Organizations literally horded so much ore and so on they can literally PRINT titans. This is not an exaggeration. Ship losses become meaningless if they have 100 titans worth of ore ready to go after a lost battle.
THAT is why CCP redid blueprints by incorporating PI/reactions into ship builds to never have this happen again.
So fucing what if players want to print titans, good luck with your “higher than thou” approach and thinking you know what is problem and what isnt im just grabbing the popcorn now and counting the days until ccp is bankrupt caus i never saw a more pathetic group of game designers
Literally this was the main reason for all the indy/ore stuff they have done. People had fleets of capitals and kills meant nothing. I could bother finding threads and videos stating this but I am too lazy.
Yah it’s a symptom of a bigger problem that was allowed to grow over time. It’s a shame really.
People horde ore-----------ore stockpiles build up-------people built large capital fleets due to the simple BP requirements---------capital kills are now worthless because there are thousands waiting to go out into battle.
What did CCP do? Made BPs more complex. Attempted to drain ore stockpiles and reblanced how we mined. Did it work? It’s up for debate.
Yeah, the economy will crumble if the ORE titan would not be nerfed or work in a very specific way. Printing massive fleets of capital ships would make wars meaningless. The point of titans is they are hard to make, so whichever side has the most would be the better side.
Idea: instead of just strait up mining an entire asteroid the mining capital could pick up and move an asteroid between systems. This would prevent other ships from becoming obsolete as it could have sub-par mining ability. Additionally, such a ship would provide diminishing returns. And, I estimate the value of moving a low-sec asteroid to high-sec will be balanced by the chance of losing you capital each trip, even more so if the align time is proportional to its size. If even align time is not enough to balance it, you could limit the size of asteroids it could take requiring mining ships to first mine asteroids down to the correct size before they could be moved.
