I'm quite new, granted...

That said, it seems the easiest and best thing to do is to simply double, triple or quadruple the amount of experience Titans need to level up.

Again, although I am new I do have one friend who has played SoaSE for a while now.  He enjoys 30-50 hour long games against the AI.  Having Titans require that 3-4 times the amount of time to level up would still grant people like him the chance to run around with a God-mode ship but it would make high-level titan abilities pretty much non-existent in multiplayer unless the players were intentionally trying to have a very long game.

I think the lvl 1-3 titans are very worthwhile and not OP for the cost.  Tripling the amount of experience that they require to level would not only be super-easy to implement, but it would also solve all the problems being stated here.

Trinity was barely balanced with 3 factions.  How would adding a 4th race and 2 more factions balance out the game?

Fixing the existing content is a must.

A necro post, duplicating the OP as a new topic.  Excellent!

Now I totally agree with the loss of all levels earned when they are destroyed , you shouldn't be that dumb to lose one. However a titan is supposed to be well a titan, a gigantic ship that is supposed to put any other ship to shame by shear power. So they should not be nerfed in any way. I am neutral on getting/buliding/research them by different means, I think if there was any way to nerf them it would be this method and not for the stats or power abilities.

After repeated complaints, I've decided I'll finally just have to make a mod to do this. Hopefully sometime over the break.

Titans are weaker than you think.. Fleets are always better than titans and they only seem powerful when your playing team games where one player gets fed a titan minutes into the game.

No one is justifying that you can play a game without building a titan but lets not forget that low level titans can issue the end for the opponent if you kill it with your fleet. The strategy involved is always a colony cap + Kortul/Radiance/Dunov with lf +corvettes, a special cruiser and armored up LRF.

Ofcourse in a team game this doesn't matter if the opponent is fed a titan 2 minutes after its destruction.

Titans are easier to deal with in 1v1 and 2v2 games

Have people considered disabling feeding in big games?

just disable it or disable titans... otherwise get organised with your team and kill as many titans together.

Oh plz.. i hate sins big team games so much that my eye starts to twitch at the sound of 5v5. its nice how you all try to relive the battle of coriana 6 in the babylon 5 series but im a little too starcraft to care. 1v1 or 2v2 on small and medium maps has less lag and less titan upsets.
