Advent Titan Question

Do you think either or both of the Advent Titans would have an advanced for of Dominion?

 

If so would it be able to take groups of ships, say 5-10 or would it be a captital version with a killer antimatter cost and cooldown for balance?

No one knows besides the dev's but this is certainly a cool idea.

I don't like Domination to begin with, so I hope not...

The Advent aren't the Gods people make them out to be.  They still have to do the research to get them to that point, anyway (same with all races).  Besides, the more military tech you have to do, the less quality your infrastructure improvements are.

Actually, I can defeat Vicious AI of any race with any race. Advent are by far the easiest to fight for me.

I don't like Domination because it seems rather pointless and useless as an ability. All it does is steal a ship which more than likely gets killed off in 5 seconds if the player knows what they are doing.

The Unity can suck my balls, and I certainly don't fear the wrath of a bunch of annoying nuns.

Anybody can win with any of the races.  It all comes down to your playstyle and maximizing it to it's fullest potential on the race you're playing.

That would be cool with me, though I don't know how I feel about stealing Capital ships. Could have some MAJOR balance issues. I've actually advocated for this power to be applied in my revamped Superweapons described here:

I am with you on this one. No capitalship stealing whatsoever. I hate the idea of people collecting al possible capital ships and creating some sort of huge superfleet with them. Though I still love the idea of dominating 5 to 10 ships at once. Would be a nice ability for an Advent titan I think.

Stealing Capitals is fine, we've got the Rogue/Pirates of 7DS doing it to any ship stupid enough to get in range.

Yes, Domination should have been area affect.

For all those worrying about balance how would a one time only version work for capitals. use it once then it breaks Or perhaps a leash style, the capital is only yours as long as the titan is still in play. once the titan dies the ship is released

I think that would still mean the capital will stay where it is, unless the other team gets a titan, at which point that capital is dead anyway.

I would really like to see a Titan with an ability that would make your faction unable to lose as long as your Titan hasn't been destroyed yet (even if you dont own any planets anymore). I think an ability like that would suit more or less equally with all factions.

I was thinking of that as sort of a regicide game mode, where that would automatically apply to all players.  The question becomes, do you use your titan in combat and risk it or keep it safe and forgo its tactical support?

I'm not sure I would want that to always be available but there are times where it would be fun.

The biggest question I have about the Titan's for all sides is do they have Colonize ability??

Probably not lol. There are a colony capital ship and a frigate able to claim planets, no need to waste a precious ability point on a colonize ability for your Titan if you ak me.

Yarlen,

Perhaps you can add that as a voice over for one of the TEC or Vasari Titans, eh?

My own take on this would be for the titan classes to have abilities that could expound upon those of friendly's cap ship abilities.  For example, a titan of Athena class could have an ability that would-what's the word?- "tractor beam" a fleet of strike craft into a structure that has been magnetized by a friendly's Dunov.

    So, a titan on the Advent side having a "shield restore" ability that would restore shields to all of the ships within ability radius that have been stolen with the "Dominion" ability surely would not be out of the question.

     the thing to remember is that titan is a slow manuevering vessel that can be a boon to taking over planets.  So any special ability would nescessarily have to include some type of planet siege capabilty, along with the ability to merely deplete a planet's health without taking lives and thus-making said planet a natural take-over planet.  I would like to see more special abilities for all factions of titans.
