6s EV online's ships are enormous even by
11s science fiction standards this one can
14s plunge entire mega cities into the
17s shadows and the blasts from its doomsday
20s device are brighter than the sun itself
23s meet the Avatar one of the largest and
27s most recognizable spaceships in new e
30s Eden despite the Colossal amount of time
33s and resources it takes to build this
36s Titan it's the most popular choice among
39s Eve online players but why in this video
43s you'll find out which ships in the Amar
46s Empire Fleet were even larger how can
51s avatars turn the tide of any battle what
55s does a player have to do to get an
57s avatar of their own and finally why did
61s this particular Titan become a cult
64s spaceship in new
68s Eden it all began with a myth more
71s precisely with the Sacred Scriptures of
74s the Amar Empire casting his sight on his
77s realm the Lord witnessed the Cascade of
80s evil the Torrance of War burning with
83s wrath he step down from the Heavens to
86s judge the Unworthy to redeem the pure it
90s it believed that these lines inspired
92s the religious leaders of Amar to create
95s truly colossal ships able to turn the
98s course of any battle the very first of
101s them was the Imperial Flagship built
104s during the height of the Amar expansion
106s in fact this Flagship allowed the
108s emperor to Traverse his territories and
111s feel absolutely safe thanks to the
113s gargantuan size of the vessel the exact
117s dimensions of that Flagship are unknown
119s but legends say it was the largest
122s vessel in new Eden measuring hundreds of
124s kilometers in length whether it's true
127s or not the giant had minimal Armament
129s and functioned more like a mobile space
132s Fortress later the Amar Empire
135s constructed somewhat more modest ships
138s IMU Hub capable of scorching fleets of
142s Heretics of course considering the
144s massive size of over a 100 km even they
148s could accidentally bump a small
150s satellite out of orbit with their
152s gravitational field that's why amarian
155s Engineers designed a much smaller Avatar
159s using the IMU Hub of the second
162s generation as a base but don't let this
165s comparison fool you being more than one
169s and a half times taller than Earth's
171s highest point Mount Everest the Avatar
174s stretches 13.8 km in length which means
179s it wouldn't even fit in the Mariana
181s Trench with a weight of nearly
184s 2,300,000
185s tons the Avatar is as heavy as seven
189s empire state buildings combined if a
192s ship this size were to slam into any
195s populated Planet at full speed it would
198s truly be an
200s apocalypse however the Amar Titan isn't
203s made for primitive ramming it's built
205s for tactical domination on the
208s battlefield is it fair that the amarian
211s consider this ship as an embodiment of
214s God's Wrath after all every faction in
217s new Eden has its Titans and the Avatar
220s isn't even the largest among them it
223s boasts a unique slot configuration with
225s modules for storing various combat
228s equipment eight High slots and eight low
231s slots and the latter figure is the
233s largest among all Titans which is
236s crucial on the battlefield why because
239s it's in those low slots that you can
242s install armor plates significantly
245s boosting the ship's durability under
247s heavy fire this gives the Avatar plenty
250s of time to unleash massive damage with
252s amarian capital energy turrets
255s essentially super powerful lasers but
258s what will truly give enemies nightmares
261s are the 10 battleships or 50 Cruisers
264s that can be housed within the belly of
267s this Titan plus thanks to the Clone vatb
270s it will be players in capsular form who
273s will be controlling the ships not in PCS
276s so if an avatar unexpectedly jumps into
279s the midst of a small Skirmish it can
282s drastically shift the balance of power
284s even in a hopeless situation moreover
288s the Amar Titan like any ship of its
290s class can open a portal for other
293s players to a specified location
295s essentially it's a field jump gate the
298s Avatar can also empoy a pretty unique
301s thing the Amar phenomena generator
304s although you should remember that its
307s positive and negative effects will
308s impact both enemies and allies within
312s its radius of action yet experienced
315s players value the Avatar above all for
319s its most powerful weapon the doomsday
322s device called holy Destiny it can
326s destroy enormous enemy ships from
328s dreadnots to other Titans as it inflicts
331s electromagnetic and thermal damage which
334s heavy armor is especially vulnerable to
338s after unleashing Divine wrath upon their
341s enemies the Avatar can quickly vanish
343s from their field of view and radar with
346s the help of its cloaking
348s device however sometimes the Amar Titan
352s itself due to its value becomes the
355s target of a bold attack in this video
358s you can see the user go posts entire
361s fleet of stealth bombers attempted to
364s catch an avatar as it approached a jump
366s gate at first it might have seemed like
368s the attackers would deplete the Titan's
371s armor and destroy it but they never
374s expected that this Avatar was equipped
377s with non-standard doomsday Weaponry a
380s bonic fuel generator unlike the holy
383s Destiny aimed at single large Targets
387s this beam can disintegrate multiple
389s ships in a large area so with a
392s well-placed shot the Avatar destroyed
395s enough enemy stealth bombers to make it
397s possible to war away and then it just
400s continued on its way but when these
402s Giants are indeed hunted user draconic
406s Slayer showed how his Alliance tracked
409s down an avatar the Amar Titan and an
412s arabus the Galant Titan during a jump
416s between systems players quickly
418s mobilized dozens of dreadnots effective
421s in dealing damage to Titans
423s interestingly the arabus was the first
426s to go down while the heavily armored
428s Avatar held on until the end though
431s truth be told without each other's
433s support both of them were doomed from
436s the start but in large organized fleets
440s avatars can basically write the history
442s of new Eden this legendary battle for
445s the keepstar Citadel in the M2 XF system
450s marked the culmination of a
451s long-standing conflict between the papy
454s and the Imperium alliances it was dubbed
457s The Clash of Titans because the sides
461s deployed
462s 1,34 super Capital ships for this
466s strategically important object and
468s considering the regular rounds of the
471s Holy Destiny it becomes clear that most
474s of them were avatars specifically that's
477s 560 ships which is near
480s 43% of both fleets Titans these Giants
484s didn't just deal severe damage to their
486s enemies but also significantly boosted
489s their comrades with spherical command
491s bursts in total during the most massive
494s battle in the history of new Eden that
496s lasted 14 hours
499s 256 Titans were destroyed but among them
502s there were only 19 avatars which is the
505s lowest loss ratio among super Capital
508s ships thanks to the extraordinary
510s defense capabilities of the Amar Titans
513s The Fleets couldn't deal each other a
515s fatal blow and the war between papy and
518s the Imperium continued but how
520s challenging is it for players to rebuild
523s their forces after clashes like that
526s even the most ambitious Pilots must
528s demonstrate an insane determination to
531s get one of the legendary avatars you'll
534s not only have to buy the blueprints for
536s this Titan for a hefty sum of 200
538s million isk if you're considering
540s building at least one you'll also need
543s the components for production which will
546s already cost you 185 billion isk you can
550s try to save tons of money by mining all
553s the raw materials yourself but for solo
556s players this alternative process will
558s stretch over months without helpers and
561s friends this decision doesn't make
563s practical sense moreover to initiate the
567s actual production of an avatar you'll
569s need to reach the highest levels of the
571s relevant industrial skills not to
573s mention that you'll have to regularly
575s defend the station where the Titan is
577s being built from the interference of
579s other players we know what you're
581s thinking isn't this way too challenging
583s for lonely dreamers who aspire to fly
586s and fight in those legendary avatars
589s cheer up in new Eden there are plenty of
592s exciting opportunities for solo players
595s well yeah embarking on a journey with a
597s lone Titan isn't one of them unless of
600s course you plan to lose it in the very
602s first battle wasting months of work and
605s billions of isk long story short the
607s best path for an avatar owner lies
610s through player alliances you know the
613s ones able to successfully use these
615s amazing ships as both a formidable
618s shield and the deadly weapon of a
620s well-organized fleet experienced
622s alliances with established production
625s and specialized bonuses can churn out a
627s brand new Avatar in just a few few weeks
630s they'll also help you learn all the
632s skills necessary for Effective Titan
635s piloting more quickly after all the Eve
638s online community is the real key to
641s getting your dream Titan and achieving
643s great
644s success well that's yet to happen we
648s recommend visiting two intriguing
650s locations in New Eden in the C9 NCC
655s system you can catch a glimpse of an
657s avatar named Steve the very first one in
660s Eve online History built by a player
663s well to be precise you'll see only its
666s Remnant because Steve is also the first
669s Titan lost in battle then near the
672s amarian capital Planet you'll be
674s impressed to see a massive formation of
677s avatars creating just one of these ships
680s would likely bankrupt the economy of
682s Earth but here eight Titans stand
685s proudly in honor of the fierce
688s competition for the Imperial Throne
691s though actually in new Eden epic scales
694s can be found in almost everything dream
697s big and we'll see you in the
705s [Music]
708s game
