Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this new game?  I would have to say that I do not like that Idea and that anyone wanting to not use titans go back to playing the older game if you don't like them.  But that's my opinion.

A better option would be add the ability to play as one of the three original races alongside their Loyalist and Rebel counterparts, only then Rebellion will truly replace Diplomacy/Trinity.

titans will get a nerf. (duh)

hopefully theyll be more balanced then.

The only one that needs nerfed is the Ankylon. And it just needs an ability nerf, not a DPS/Shield/Hull nerf.

There are no "deathmatch" type options to disable anything, nor min/max tech, setting starting labs (mil/civ), boost starting cred/metal/crystal X%.  You can't disable by statCountType or planetModuleRoleType, so preventing titans just won't be on the menu.

Options, you got the wrong game m8.  You can ask, "I do not want titans with that." However, you will get them anyway and so will your enemies.  To protest StarClad making Titans, do not play with them.

Agreed. More options can never be a bad thing.

There is more to Rebellion than Titans...

Already done. Remove the titan building facility, and you already disabled titan.
