Taking down a Titan

High-end FC-ing: "Take a breath"  :D

Seen alot of titan kill videos but thats the best of the bunch really, I prefer hearing the FC, rather than some shitty music the video uploader likes (usually metal or some shit). 

Thanks for linking that one :)

fucking sweet explosion


That FC is too panicky for my liking , need to remain calm :)
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

FC = Fleet Commander? He was tense. I'm sure I heard someone telling him to take a breath.

My initial thought at the start of the video was that I was watching a swarm of frigate-type vessels take down a capital ship. But they were all capital ships, weren't they?

A mix of ships I think - Battelships, Heavy Interdictors and probably everything else besides :)

they are not just taking down a capital ship, they were taking down a titan, the biggest ship around

Wouldn't happen to be a smaller version of that file somewhere, would there?

@Caradir: what you really want is an FC who, while chatting and leading the attack, is also tabbed out and catching up on your guild's forums. I seem to remember once knowing a guy who could do that...

No smaller version - the downloadable version from EVE-files is 166mb. http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Frocke/H-ATitanKill.wmv

As for the FC you recall, its possible things havent changed except he now has a dual monitor setup ;)

Sorry, I meant for the ship comparison image. Froze my browser trying to view it so I downloaded it but Windows is still having some trouble. My work PC is, shall we say, not a gaming rig. I seem to recall one of you linking a smaller image once.

I'm sure the curve is exponential, so I'll just quadruple the number of things I assume "he" is doing during fleet battles. ;D

This one:

Its an older version, but gives a similar overview.

Can other ships use the jump portals that Titans create?
