I apologize as this question has undoubtedly been asked before but the search is not working and I've been though 17 pages of threads which don't answer it.
I've heard conflicting statements about the use of a normal cyno field with a covert jump portal generator. Is it possible to bridge in ships using the covert generator onto a normal cyno field? or do you HAVE to use the covert cyno?
If you answer, please let me know if you have ACTUALLY tried it or seen it done (or not done) - or whether you've just heard it from someone else.
Thanks!

Edited by: Tekitha on 18/02/2011 04:07:02 AFAIU it's like this ...
regular cyno:
-can be lit by any ship -can be used to jump in caps, create a titan bridge to or create a covert cyno bridge to -lasts 5 minutes on a cloaky recon and (covops frigate?) -lasts 10 minutes on any other ship -shows up on overview and is warpable to by any ship in system
covert cyno:
-can only be lit by cloaky recons and (covops frigates?) -lasts 30 seconds -does not appear on overview, does however show up on overview if it's on grid -can only be used to create a covert jump portal to (won't allow regular caps to jump or titan bridges)
the only part of this I'm not 100% on is the covops frigate, pretty sure it'll say in the frigates description tho if u care to take a quick look.
edit: missed the emphasis on the main question of ur post I guess ..
I have personally created a covert jump portal (using a black ops BS) to a regular cyno which was lit by a basic T1 BC ... yes it will work, the real advantage of the covert cyno is it's low fuel consumption, 30 second cycle time and not appearing on overview (unless on grid) Don't believe the hype! |

it can't. force recons are the only ships with a cyno activation time reduction bonus. ---

Thank you both very much for the information! Logically, I assumed it would work. But this is EvE so while 99% of things are logical to me, there is always that 1% of "balancing" that made me question whether it was possible.
Thanks again!

It can't what? Fit a covert cyno generator? Of course they can. There's one on my buzzard right now. It has a 1 minute duration naturally, lacking the bonus of covert recons. Bombers can fit covert cynos too.
