I want to see a specialized cyno frigate with a reduction in cyno duration.
Everyone uses kestrals with a cyno in the high slot, why not have a frigate that has a single highslot just for a cyno, and gets a bonus similar to a recon. (or slightly better) make it a little pricey for what it is (and it's inevitable death) . perhaps 15 or 20 mil... maybe 30 mil.. cheap enough that you would use it in a situation you would think twice about using a recon, expensive enough that you won't use it for any old cyno, and make it paper thin so its not for hot dropping in enemy territory.
Could use a retextured exploration or industrial frigate model.
1 high slot for a cyno with just enough cpu / pwr with a large cargo hold (or possibly a hold for ozone only)
and no change in ozone consumption.
2 skills associated to it.
Cyno Ships (8x) - reduces cyno time by 1 minute per level with a max of 5 minutes.
requires level 1 to fly the ship
Cyno Reduction (14x) - reduces cyno duration by 30 seconds
requires level 4 of cyno ships and only applies to cyno utility frigs
with long skill training times it could take around 3 months to take full advantage of both bonuses at level 5
4 to 7 days to unlock secondary skill, which could be up to level 3 in a few more days leaving the average user of this ship with a 4 min 30 sec cyno time. just slightly better than a recon.
Max skills would result in a 2 min 30 sec cyno duration, however would take well over 2 months, if not 3 months to skill with the high rank multipliers on the skills.
cyno duration based on Cyno Ship Skill and Cyno Reduction Skill levels
ship 3 / reduction 0 = 7 min 0 sec
ship 4 / reduction 0 = 6 min 0 sec
ship 4 / reduction 1 = 5 min 30 sec
ship 4 / reduction 2 = 5 min 0 sec
ship 4 / reduction 3 = 4 min 30 sec (should take around 2 weeks to skill up)
ship 4 / reduction 4 = 4 min 0 sec (potentially another week)
(the uncomfortably long level 5 bonuses few would train)
ship 5 / reduction 4 = 3 min 0 sec (at least 3 more maybe 4 more weeks to squeeze this extra minute out)
ship 5 / reduction 5 = 2 min 30 sec (45 to 60 more days for 30 seconds)
with no reduction in ozone consumption, an ozone specific hold could allow you to hold a large number of cycles (I'd like to see it 1500 m3 ozone hold and 120 m3 cargo)

I would agree with the everyone needs a cyno frig, but maybe just add the bonus to the covert ops frigs. The recons have 5 minutes for normal cynos and 30 seconds for covert cyno. I think the covert ops frigs should have the same bonus but not better because it would be unfair to the recon which costs more. Slap the cyno fuel use bonus on the covert frigs too. |

Its a good idea I think . I also think the bonus should be better than the recon but it should have a disadvantage over the recon such as higher ozone use to balance out the difference in price of the hull itself. But all in all i think a cyno specific frig should offer an advantage over using the standard vanilla frigs or the rookie ships.

Just role the bonus into the T2 scanning / Cov-Ops frigs. Make it less disposable. |
