Titan Class Ships!!!

[Crow 2-5]

I'd like to discuss a few things about the titan class soon to be added most likely in an expansion. First i want to say that this is honestly the best space game i have so far, and the best community i could ever be apart of on steam. Now for the serious business :)

Titans, we know them as the most terrifying thing you can ever see coming your way and the most destructive war machines in space games. The largest ship that i know of so far in SPG2 is the Tzar, if the titan could be double or even triple the size that would be good since titan class ships from what i know are massive.

of course a titan should have fighter bays but the question should be how many. well i think if we look at the faction with the best carrier (like the Tzar) i would say that they would make a titan based on 3 launching fighters while other titans can launch 1 or 2. then another faction would make a titan with a ton of turret slots, then the next faction would have a titan with alot more health then the other ones making it focus on defence more.

Now for balancing it would only be fair to the rest of the universe that you are not able to have titan or dreadnaught mercs xD battles would be way to easy i assume.

Along with the new dreadnaught class do you think there could be a new strike craft class, like a heavy bomber or you could call it the strike ship class. it would be twice the size of the largest strike craft but move slow, it would be in a wing of only two. they would be highly vulnerable to other strike craft though. i was inspired by the New Republic K-wing a monster of a bomber craft.

Below are some pics of ship designs i think are great inspiration for making a titan ship from:

of course these are not originals but i think they are great for inspiration. I would gladly like to lend you guys my own personal ship design, im a pretty descent artist though will only be able to take a picture of it. i dont have it right now but as soon as i draw it i will let you guys know.

also I would like to know what everyone else thinks so far about how the titans should be, what would you like the titans to resemble or how would you like it to look.

"soon to be added to the game" is stretching the truth quite a bit. I think he said it's a plan for the future, so think expansion or late post-release update.

It's cool that you're so excited though. :) Big ships are neat.

[Crow 2-5]

thanks for that, fixed that error. excitement is easily blinding xD

Well, I'm looking forward to Titan class ships, whenever they plan to release them. I'm a big fan are huge ships from any Sci-fi IP.

A few big features that would dramatically enhance this game are Titan class ships, and the ability to create a fleet, and fight against other fleets; as well as balancing out all the classes of ships, and making each type effective and unique in their own way.

Personally, I'm a fan of the massive Jem'hadar Battleship and Klingon Negh'var - big intimidating warships rule.

the Jem'hadar is an awesome battleship, i dont know a whole lot about star trek but i do know that that ship can give a severe butt kicking

I would preffer that the titans be unflyable by the player in the official release of them (modders would make them flyable anyway) but instead be the big baddy's with fat loot on the ai team.
Having instead chance to drop various special systems maybe even special officers.

In order to keep an open ended rpg fun there always needs to be a sense of danger. Having a station uncloak in your face and all hell breaking loose would be one of those OH...SHhhh moments i live for.

Thank you guys for the ideas. Wishlist regarding future class is now populating nicely, and will come in very useful once that is finally on the agenda :)

[Mackcrws]

Nice idea. I bought it a few days ago and i still played it for 20+ hours. If i had one wish free one of ashipclass should be called coati-mundi. i prefer a titan class ship ;-)

Reading this thread makes me realize that we should make also a priority listing on wishlist mile-long suggestions... What should be the first...?

[Minimal-Style]

how about showing us the wish-list and let us vote on the different wishes?

Ohhh we like monsters - especially if it is a TITAN-Monster :-)

I sincerely hope that if larger ships will be added, smaller ones are added as well because it would make the current ships feel small; and they're supposed to be capital ships after all. :) Just an observation on my part.

Not all are capital ships, only the ones up from battleship. The rest are .. chickens.
