This is a gross oversimplification.
Hundreds of man hours went into that titan. It didn't appear out of thin air.
EDIT: Why must warbarges be a capital ship?
If we're going to complain about this because it would be silly for every single person to own a capital ship, why not just make it a non-capital ship? It's entirely doable for any empyrean to make the money to own a more modestly sized ship.
I find the justification that 'titans are easy to get' terrible, but I'm not sure why so many people are against personal warbarges. Considering warbarge strikes are less powerful than destroyer strikes and the amount of materiel that would need to be stored isn't a completely ludicrous amount, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest they're the size of a battlecruiser or something, if that'll satisfy the complaints about this.

Alrighty, just had a long discussion with Aeon on Skype about lore reasoning for warbarges.
Ultimately, they don't need to be capital ship sized. A catalyst can hold ~90 Madrugars in its cargo hold, and that's a spaceship specialised for combat. If we specialised a ship for cargo and basic support facilities, it likely wouldn't need to be much more than cruiser sized for most people. The one containing the MCC is a different matter, but hey, the NPC corps can provide that in non-corporate matches and on the corporate level the corporate flotilla can reasonably be expected to have more resources available for these things.

The first Warbarge is generic, and we hope to add both Faction Warbarges and Faction color selections. Work like this has been very inspiring, both for Warbarges and Dropsuits.
Generic? It has Caldari banners, Caldari architecture, and even the RDVs are Caldari.
Am very pleased to hear of faction warbarges though!
Also, am I correct in thinking that you'll onlybe able to fit a very few of the many subsystems available due to warbarge platform number limits? Given that some of the items like experimental weaponry will only be available to those who give up the platform for it (which can't be everyone), perhaps this makes player trading a more attractive idea?
