Don't know if you've been following things, but Shrike's Titan is dead. Goons and RA took him out. In battle even. Of course lag was an issue and blah blah blah. But BoB conceded the kill and it's gone. Videos and audio are floating around.

Heh, that was a fun video.How much does one cost?
What is it?
How long to get the skill to drive one?

Cost is about 130 billion depending on what kind of equipment you have on it.It's the biggest ship in the game. It has a 'doomsday device'. It does about 40k points of damage to anything within like 150km of it. So, it will wipe out anything from an averagely tanked battleship on down. So, you have to heavily tank your BS to survive. Battle cruisers, cruisers, frigs, etc are all destroyed. Because of this, it was always considered indestructable because it could wipe out any attacking force, then jump away to safety. They killed ALOT of ships and put a stop to most attacks cause you couldn't do anything against it. It also acts as a jump bridge. So, you can jump in a whole fleet from far away. So, instead of the enemy jumping in from the next system where you'd see them coming, they can jump in right next to you from several systems away.
Skills prolly take about a year if you bee lined right for them. Most pilots are 3+ years old. There's like 10 of them in the game.
That was the first one to be destroyed in combat. The other two died to exploits performed by BoB.
So, they did what many people considered impossible.
And I agree. Fun video. Not many games offer that rewarding of an experience. That event ended MANY months of HEAVY smack talk by that pilot/alliance.

I don't play right now. But I would start again if I knew that BoB wasn't going to get any more GM/Developer assistance. I quit because they were cheating.

So what kept them from being killed by that doomsaday attack?

He had already fired it. Can only fire it once per hour, or something like that. People were reporting that he was firing it again, it sounded like. But I think that was more capitals cyno (jumping) in. The visual affect for cyno'ing and DD'ing are similar.
