Quote:The Cyno Inhibitor also cannot be deployed in any location where its area of effect would overlap with another identical module. Overlap... by how much?
If it cannot overlap at all, this means the best way to prepare to defend a structure you are deploying capitals for is to make sure you have a mobile cyno jammer whose field is TANGENT to the structure when the enemy shows up in force. This way it would be impossible to prevent capitals from cynoing in from more than at most a couple tens of kilometers from the center point.
Is this the intentional design, or are they allowed to overlap by 50km, or what's the thinking here? Lobbying for your right to delete your signature |

However, as noted, the total EHP value is only on par with a buffer BS, so your opponents don't have to field much to alpha the things and open up the field again. Actually creating a sphere-subtraction 'diamond' would be a lot worse than just placing a single (or dipolar) tangent jammer(s). One tangent jammer, if it is not destroyed, presents in the absolute worst case a fairly wide guaranteed ring of cynoable space around it, expanding along the tangent plane. If they were to bring a large enough contingent to safely destroy it, they could be immediately faced with cynos & bubbles the moment the jammer goes down...
Thus, assuming they aren't allowed to intersect at all, the resulting correlary is that you basically need total subcapital domination before the event to have a chance of keeping a portable jammer in a useful location for the duration of an op. If so much as a single bubbler and a cyno can show up (or already be there, cloaked) when you take down the tangent jammer, you'll lose your entire gang assuming you don't have competitive capital assets.
