In the game, Titan is the large ship at present. It requires billions of EVE ISK in materials to build, and can only be constructed in 0.0 Security at a POS Capital Construction Array. Not only does a Titan require the combined efforts of hundreds of people to reasonably build but it requires considerable amounts of dedicated skill training time just to be able to pilot it and much more to competently do so.
On the one hand, Titans holds lots of the same functions as Carrier or Mother-ship. They have not only Corporate Hangers, Ship Maintenance Arrays and Jump Drives but they have the ability to fit Clone Vat Bays like Mother-ship and a reduction bonus for fitting Warfare Link modules. The Titan is completely immune to all forms of EW, but can still have its Warp Drive and Jump Drive disabled by all types of Bubbles.
On the other hand, the Titan can equip a Jump Portal Generator which allows the Titan to teleport most sub-capital vessels to a Cynosural Field, as if though the vessel had a Jump Drive.
The Titan can equip a Doomsday Device which is able to wipe out entire fleets at the push of a button. This is the main selling point of the Titan. In spite of the nerfs that both the Titan and Doomsday have received, a well timed and executed "Titan drop" can be devastating to an enemy fleet.
Aside from the Dreadnought, Titans are the only other vessel to be able to equip XL sized weapon which means that this is not deemed worthwhile ability. The Siege Module of the Dreadnought is the main factor in its high DPS, not the XL weapons used with it. As usual, the amount of DPS that a fully XL equipped Titan can produce is not much higher than that of a single Battleship once the Titan's Drone compliment is taken into account. Worse, the XL guns are not really suitable for fighting anything other than Capital Ships, which can bring far more DPS to bear.
In general, Titans are seen carrying Smart-bombs in their free high slots in order to destroy Interdictor Bubbles launched at them so as o enable escape rather than weapons. This isn't a foolproof strategy, but offers the best chance of escape after a Doomsday attack.
A well-fit Titan runs around 80-90 billion ISK, which amounts to approximately six thousand US dollars. This fact tends to make people who have not played EVE pay attention. That is to say, the Titan pilots are usually outfitted with the best Implants money can buy. Since the Titan is so expensive to begin with, these normally insane expenses don't add much cost to the Titan. Yet, they will drastically improve its survivability.
Titans used to be rare, but there exists more than 50 of them all together, not counting ones destroyed. The number continues to grow, and it is not uncommon for Alliances to field multiple Titans in order to overcome many of its drawbacks.
Titans have gone from being objects of awe to being commonplace if still fiendishly expensive. Periodically, some Titan pilot will screw up, send his Titan into an area of space that is vulnerable, and some jerk drops a capital fleet on top of said Titan and blows it up. In the majority of cases, the Titan being blown up is piloted by dear old Sir Molle, the former alliance leader of Band of Brothers. Additionally having his alliance disbanded, he has a habit of losing Avatar-class Titans.
