do you mean in flagship mode?

They decided that titan - Queen and flagship = King

Personally i think titan should be your flagship because then when it dies you lose the game instantly which would involve allot of strategy and risk in moving titans around

yes in flagship mode. make sence to me at least that titan should be flagship, not kol.

I personally think they should make it to where your first capitalship built is your flagship. Although this would pigeonhole you into basically only using the Progenitor/Halcyon(maybe even the rapture is viable as an opener now)

That was also something I thought of, but perhaps if you don't build a capital ship past 15 or so minutes you lose the game. I still would like to be able to perhaps chose my flagship, because its a well known fact the Radiance and the Revelation are not early game Capital Ships.

The flagship does not have the same attributes as a regular cap. The Devs could have used a scout as their image for a flagship.

At least choice flagship ship seem more fun and more personal taste. I hope they read this and gave a thought.

Carrier SC have significantly more damage output than a battleship.  Not only that, but you can convert your damage output between fighters and bombers.

How do you know you don't know what it's look like inside? LOL I would like to set Akkan Battlecruiser, it's much better living and

much nicer for Admiral quater because it's ensure you had a food from growing food in Akkan where there drome on top of ship,

anyway, I always think Akkan is flagship to me, because it's gave me 6 level abilty peace to enemies when thing get out of hand. LOL

Still Titan nice to make flagship though I do like Akkan's 6 level ability peace.

As a history buff, I have to say that this was by no means a rule in World War II. Which ships were the "flagship" was entirely up to the particular Admiral and what ships were available. Early on in World War II aircraft carriers were still considered inferior to battleships (save perhaps in Japan), and battleships as a rule would have been the flagship. It was not until after the British raid on Taranto and the Japanese one at Pearl Harbor that the importance of aircraft carriers were realized.

The fact that most of the American battleships in the pacific were destroyed or disabled naturally lead to what forces that were left being lead by aircraft carriers. Thus the task force commanders who ended up leading operations like Bull Halsey and Spruance had aircraft carriers as their flagships because they were the only capitalships available, and thus they personally developed a preference for them. Tellingly though Spruance latter used the cruiser Indianopolis or the battleship New Jersey, and Admiral Nimitz when he rarely went somewhere often used the USS South Dakota as a flagship. Likewise for the Japanese, while the officer who carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor and midway's flagship was the Akagi, Admiral Yamamotto himself was usually safe behind the line on the Yamato, the largest battleship ever.

The main advantages for Battleships even in World War II is that they are harder to destroyed and have far bigger anti aircraft weaponry. Yamato for example took at least 11 torpedoes and 6 bomb ships to sink, and her sister ship Musashi took a lot more punishment than that. The main draw back was they they were slower than many aircraft carriers but this was something the Iowa class did not have a problem with.

On another note, to answer the actual thread questions.  The reason it is not a titan is that it would eliminate the entire purpose of Rebellion itself, the researching and building of the various titans.  Unless they were going to give you two that is.

Pirate titan keep your flagship at bay then. LOL

I can understand why you wouldn't want to give a player a Titan as a flagship but it would be nice if the flagship model was a bit different than the standard model.  Something to make it look a bit tougher or more like a CnC vessel.  Not really important, but it would be a nice touch.

Honestly not a fan.

less strategy that way.  As it stands each race has 5 options for a flagship and that choice will have strategic implications on the entire game.  Make titans into flagships and each race/faction has exactly one choice in the long run.

Moreover It makes titan balance too much of a game-altering factor in this game mode.  Suddenly Titans with good survivability become far superior, leaving other factions in the dust.  Also there are niche issues introduced, such as the Advent Rebel titan essentially no-longer having a level 6 ability.

Moreover there's no reason the game objective has to be the strongest unit.
