If so, is CCP going to give those effected by this change (who might have capitals trapped because they can't cyno to their alts any more) the ability to change their base race?

I hope your capitals aren't really relying on a bunch of rookie ships.

I'm so sorry that you can't use a noobship to light a cyno. Go cry more and buy a real ship.


Noob ships being able to light cynos is moronic anyway.

Because using a T1 frigate for cynos is too much of a burden.

Try here

When it comes down to it, cyno lighting on rookie frigates is an activity that we don't explicitly design for. We have no problem with people doing it but we will not guarantee that all the design decisions we make will support it.

In this case we built the rookie frigates to highlight the differences in the races' ship design philosophies, by making the rookie frigates a scaled down version of the kind of stat progressions you'll run into at higher tiers. Amarr ships tend to have slightly smaller cargoholds than other races since they don't need the space for ammo.

In the end we gave all the rookie ships (including the Impairor) a significant buff to cyno lighting since they no longer need MAPCs. The buff to that specific use was not intentional but it was something we knew would be happening and we were fine with it. The Impairor got slightly less of a buff for cyno lighting than the others, but once again I consider that fine since lighting cynos isn't a core use for the ship.

In the end my advice is to stock some expanded cargoholds with your cyno gens and celebrate that you no longer need the more expensive MAPCs.

I'm a newbie and even I am blown away by this.

A) There's been a dev response
B) Why would CCP essentially remove functionality like this from just one race's rookie ship and leave it for the other three? They wouldn't and didn't.
C) Even if somehow, Amarr rookie ships lost the ability completely, what's stopping you from buying a different ship to cyno?

Tribal Band member calling people pubbies?

Nice one!

I remember you from TEST jabber. You are the biggest sperg on the internet who is full of the dumbest ideas known to man. Biomass your character.

I am here to spurge in the OP's thread.

Maybe using ships intended for cyno's is what CCP wants you to do?

Spurge complete. Thank you for your time.

So...how long does it take to train up an impairor?

Then perhaps it should be taken away from ALL rookie ship rather than effecting a single race only?



I think you mean a ship other than Impairor. Unfortunately that isn't the right question as the ability being lost isn't one you can train to get back. The question is how can an Amarr player train to get free, ready to go, cyno ships when they dock like the rest of the races?
