Yulai, Genesis - More than 400 titans are currently operating in New Eden, according to a list maintained by Cyrus Doul of Systematic Chaos. While this number alone seems large, it is likely that the actual number of operational titans is significantly greater due to the care taken in deploying the vessels and the number used solely for logistical tasks. A single titan takes approximately one month to build and costs approximately 35 billion ISK in raw materials for the hull alone. When the ships [...]
