3. As ussrAvA said titans keep their levels and xp as they are rebuilt. There is a titan that actually has to die to use its lvl 6 Ultimate so that maybe why that mechanic is there. As for tactics bombers and capital ships work best. Seems how you are TEC I recommend the Dunov as it has abilities that can mess with the titan. Plus a little judo maneuvering works wonders. If the titan is attacking you then feel free to attack the enemy somewhere else. It will take a little effort to learn the multitasking but its well worth the effort.

OK, so Titans are rebuilt at the level they are lost at, that explains that.

The AI is set at normal, and the game had 1 human player and 3 AI players, and the enemy lvl 10 Titan was built up between AI vs AI battles, before I came across this AI player.

The map has 80 planets around one sun, and this has never been an issue before in Sins original, or the 3 subsequent DLC I have played or hours and hours over the last few years.

The original Entrenchment Sins I had running at over 160+ planets for a test run, while it ground my PC to a snails pace, it did not bomb out, in fact it was exceptionally resilient. This was a couple of years ago on a computer of that era. I have yet to test this one fully.

I do not play online for my own reasons, be assured that I have had this game in one form or another since the original release. As for investing time, there has been no shortage of that on this best 4X game that I have ever played, and there have been a few games that I have tried, tested in my 25+ year career as an IT engineer. And from that you should tell I'm in the top end of my 40 years.

Be assured that I will certainly try alternative methods at destroying this Titan, though I still say it is too strong when you throw everything at it a well build 40+ planet empire has at it, every possible ship slot, my Titan [8] and 2 star bases, the replacement resources 250K credits buys, if that is not heavy loses then what is, yet the enemy Titan falls from 18k to 16k health, and then keeps simply regretting it, repeat cycle.

I presume you are a developer of Sins to be able to quote on balance not being an issue?

Vasari Rebel Titan is the nastiest one of them all for that. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT use frigates of any type on this one to keep this from happening. And use Dunovs with EMP blast. Messes with the Titan's abilities.

Ignore ussrAvA's comment on that please. There are some game balance issues and the devs are working to do what they can.

Titans rebuild at current level. Wow, I actually didn't know that (though that does explain why that level 4 titan kept coming back). Handy, considering I just lost mine in the singleplayer game I have running.

Don't suppose you could upload your save file,  I'd like to try my hand against such an unstoppable ai.  I'll even post a video should I succeed in beating it showing how I did it.

Just have to play every faction yourself. There is a wiki but its been known to get things wrong from time to time, but its better than nothing I suppose.

TEC capital fleet is the strongest when going against titan.If you dont feel like spamming bomber's to bring that titan down - build a cap fleet made of 4-5 kols (gauss rail gun at maximum with the most antimatter upgrades possible,that includes culture)and 4 -5 dunov's with emp blast.

If you dont like anything of the above then Ragnarov titan snipe ability will do the job.

All of these comments should do the trick.  But also, if you are using Tec then get a group of corvettes in there to reduce the titans armor.  Spamming bombers with corvettes will crack most titans pretty fast

If you want to see all the things in the game, run the Dev.exe, which is located in the same directory as the normal Sins Rebellion .exe...here is a thread that should help you make use of the dev.exe....

In it, you can spawn any ships you want and see what abilities they have, how they work, etc...it allows you to try things with no consequences, and allows you to see stuff that would otherwise take a lot of game time to get too.....

Update - While bomber swarm around my own planet, with various backup worked, however I cannot dent this Titan around his homeworld, though 100+ carriers go in and run rings around the gravity well to avoid destruction as long as possible, and keeping the bombers onto the Titan, I cannot get its health below 16000, cannot keep enough bombers afloat in the battle, loosing too many carriers too quickly.

I shall try another option another evening, will rush in a load of cruisers to take down the supporting vessels in his gravity well, to the point I can substain a carrier fleet in there to deal damage onto the Titan.

Cannot complain, as this is becoming a challenge and a half, certainly tough.

Finally I take the planet and the Titan dies.

Eventually succeeded by pouring carriers into the gravity well, and setting the bomber swarm to destroy the supporting fleet, then turn on the Titan. 1½ hours of battle later it falls, by keeping my carrier force restocked, circling the gravity well trying to keep out of trouble, meanwhile I managed to get some starbases built with selfdestruct, so when his support fleet came round on the merry-go-round I was giving then, the starbase blew and took most of it out. While this happening I managed to sneak a cloniser vessel in and take the planet, which was put to laying out a minefield as fast as it could in the path of the enemy fleet.

So now I have the planet, sent a scout out immediately to the next planet, and there ALREADY is a level 10 Tital, fully developed starbase, and a growing fleet awaiting me. So the grind begins again, as I shall have to do this all again hoping that he will run out of resources and this vicious circle can end. Certainly a challenge, but rebuilding Titans striaght to Level 10 is a bit unfair, there seems no penalty in loosing one, so I shall just send mine in, after all, what have I too loose, my economy is so strong I can build then 10 a penny.

Great battle though, and satisfying to finally have worked out a way round and win.

In conclusion, the balance is perhaps not as bad as I first thought, I just needed to learn a new trick to deal with these newcomers, the powerful Titans, so the write ups during the development of this game were very true, that Titans would and could change the whole face of a war. Not sure though about when rebuilding a Titan it is producded at the same level as the one just lost.

Again my thanks to one and all whom took the time to read, and advise or comment.

Need to find that Titan foundry and take it out.....
