I thought you couldn't be targeted once you activated your cyno-field generator. However earlier I got blown up and got told this hasn't been the case for a while now.
If the cyno-field generator no longer cloaks you / makes you unable to be targeted, why cant I fit a cloaking device + a cyno-field generator.
Is this really 'working as intended' ? If so, why would anyone use something like a force-recon to create the field ?

I had a ship, an eagle in fact, fitted with a cyn gen... I made the mistake of activating in an asteroid belt. The reason I say mistake, was that I too was under the impression that a ship was untargetable while a field was active. After sending in a petition regarding the matter, I was informed that the effect of invulnerability while the field was active was a bug, which apparently had been fixed.
So to sum up, the field does NOT provide a ship with invulnerability while active. To my knowledge they've not corrected the ability (assuming it is not as intended at the moment) to allow both devices active on the same ship.

2 days ago I undocked in my Recon to set up a Field, As I warped away I hit the Cloak button. You cannot activate this function even if the field is fitted and not being used.
So I now use a disposable frigate to generate the Field.
What I didnt try was to put off line the Field Generator, go to my destination, Put off line the Cloaker and then put on line the Field Generator. Maybe someone else has tried that.

To save some fuel :)
In theory you could mostly fly the recon with cloak, and when needed, switch to cyno generator using carrier's corp hangar.
IMHO, best ship to use for capital travelling is a claw fitted with full nanofibers and AB/MWD: - Can carry exactly 300 units of liquid ozone; enough to drop one field with reasonable skills, and then refill ozone from carrier's hangar or dread's cargo bay. - Runs fast to the next spot, dodging most camps on the way - Fits well in carrier's ship bay
Oh, and the non-vulnerability is not an issue currently. If you deploy the field close enough to a gate or station, you can instantly jump/dock without having to wait 10 minutes (or even having to wait for the carrier to finish the jump).

I don't know about fitting in a carrier's bay, but I personally like fitting a vexor with 4 inertial stabs, mwd and 2 cap rechargers (and cyno generator). I don't worry about lowsec without instas. It aligns as fast as a frigate, and can carry 1200 m^3

I already asked a GM, it's a bug but it's not an exploit.
