Honestly the logic for space combat (especially for a titan) is different. A titan is huge and armoured with heavy weaponry. It would take a lot of shots and ships to bring down a titan. A tank is not of the magnitude of a titan.
And if your getting annoyed of my ramblings of logic call me a vulcan; Nonetheless, its logic and their for cannot be ignored. |

EDIT: what you said there was absolute BS "let's nerf everything and reduce eHP on everything but dropships"
Grow a Pair.
Being annoyed and whining on the forums to get a perfectly balanced guns are two very different things.
Are you saying we are suppose to let a good gun go down the drain due to whines?

Claims rookie ships can kill a titan
Uses T2 assault ship killing PvE fit Loki as proof 
Better example. Admittedly, it's old, but it should go down about the same way now.
That said, Titans (and all caps) are almost always active tank fit, so it would take a lot of rookie ships to kill one. And that's assuming it doesn't use any smart bombs. |

Exaggerate much?
This is more like frigates taking on cruisers. (That's how the cost structure works out, too, with a cruiser ringing in at over 10x the cost of a frigate.) Generally you shouldn't be able to solo a cruiser in a frigate, but if the cruiser is poorly fitted and the pilot is inept, you absolutely could. Any other circumstance, you're going to need to team up.
There are other balance issues that come into play because Dust uses a closed field with a fixed number of players on each side, so the balance isn't just ISK-for-ISK, or SP-for-SP, it's player-for-player.
Personally, I think forge guns should be omitted from starter fits and militia equipment. I recognize that there was a gap in militia equipment because there were no heavy weapons, but let's not give it out just to give it out. We still have militia swarms if people need an AV fallback. Otherwise, forge guns seem fine to me. |

I'm using it in the Dust sense. Don't use it if you're not prepared to lose it. Once you bring something to the battlefield, it's your own fault if you lose it, no one forced you to call it in. |

This thread is all my fault, guys. I'll try to tone down the pwnage but no guarantees.

Now, if you could post in this thread why you think healthy, objective debate needs to be toned down in favor of one-sided complaints.
Is it because one of us blapped your last special edition jeep that you thought would be fun to load up with 3 of your buddies and go joyriding with before you've scouted the field? |

The best reason to Nerf forgegun damage is to make a new variant. Lower damage, faster fire, perhaps larger splash with less damage.
Bring back the replication octagonal reticle too, and the 4m splash :D |

I'd totally take up a High RoF Low damage (900 HP Damage) Low Splash radius (No radius good enough too) forge gun any day with higher magazine cap any day honestly to direct hit more red dots. |

I apologize for stopping your free kills in a tank by blowing the p.o.s. up and for killing you with my forge because you stood still like a dumbass. *Snicker* Nah, not really. I'd do it again in heartbeat. |
