Watch two wings of TitanBombers (with two more combat air patrol support wings) in action

Sounds like soloing a Titan is out of the question then?

As of yet, yes.
In a couple of months there will be a badge on AXI for those who have solowindered them blindfolded.

solowindered them blindfolded

Solowindered? I'll give it a week max before a Titan is soloed using an E-rated Hauler, blindfolded and muted sound, using only an old laptop touchpad as the input device with one's nose. (I'm fairly certain Mechan is already secretly practicing for the feat)

And then without monitor, without any input devices and, ultimately, without a connection or even power!

Sup, CMDR Dra'nakyuek, congrats on stomping that Titan yesterday.

I figure all 8 will be gone day one before I get home from work.

How does one already know what is needed to bomb a titan?

We know it will be “nanite torpedoes.”

We can speculate, though not know for certain, that these will come in a similar configuration to existing torpedoes (which come in small, medium, and large - for 1, 2, and 4 ammo rounds respectively.)

Should for whatever reason the new torpedoes deviate from existing ones, such as for example being a huge-hardpoint-only, single-torpedo monstrosity, the build can still accommodate them with minor tweaks.

So then it becomes a question of, what can kit a good number of those, while being fast, have good shields, and operate optimally in a wing?

The answer we came up with is the TitanBomber Mamba.

 

[Guyperson]

It may be a bit of a stretch to assume we'll have the choice of large nanite launchers, but here's hoping.

Surely a Mamba wouldn’t have enough hull for any AX shenanigans?

A little goes a long way if you can keep a shield up, and besides you only need enough to make the delivery.

Ah - right, a fast strike bomber: “in / bomb / out”, that makes sense.

I guess the Caustic Sinks take the edge off needing huge hull these days, too.

That is more optimistic than my reading, I thought they were talking one way mission.

Especially the double-caustic-sink variant of the TitanBomber can very easily extract after doing whatever it needs to do in TitanSpace.
