Katar Aman	Posted - 2006.06.08 22:17:00 - [1] This is not a complaint just a notice. as seems the game mechanics changed abit. And if i missed a pulic notice of it beforehand i apologize. But YOU ARE NO LONGER INVULNERABLE WHEN YOU PUT UP A CYNOFIELD. you can now be targeted and destroyed. Just FYI. make sure you pass the word so your mates don't lose those force recons due to ignorance.
Sovy Kurosei	Posted - 2006.06.08 22:18:00 - [2] I thought this was the case for a long time? ___________________

Katar Aman	Posted - 2006.06.08 22:23:00 - [4] well like i said not complaining i like the fix. just didn't know it had taken effect yet. and wanted to get the word out for the people that don't already know.
mazzilliu	Posted - 2006.06.08 22:26:00 - [5] does this mean cynos will be conbinable with cloaks to make force recon ships usable now as well? ---------

Wonder, if you can fit cloaking device and cyno-generator now on the same ship. ( I haven't read the patch notes so far. ) edit: uhm, was too slow.
J Ryan	Posted - 2006.06.08 22:37:00 - [7] Originally by: mazzilliu does this mean cynos will be conbinable with cloaks to make force recon ships usable now as well? Just tried it and "2006.06.08 22:36:02 notify You cannot cloak your ship with more than one cloaking device installed. The interference from one device being installed prevents any other from working." So I guess not yet.
Katar Aman	Posted - 2006.06.08 22:43:00 - [8] nope you are now just a sitting target. which sux for the forc recons. I foresee force recons never being used for cynofields again unless they fix that feature. and if not hope they change the bonuses on them to something that can be used. cause now those bonuses are pretty much useless and it is like saying here come take my recon please.

Galk	Posted - 2006.06.08 23:06:00 - [10] Well if it's true" Whats the point, insta gank death you can do nothing about:/ You even get your own personal warp to me... yes yes ofc friends ect.... but if your a lame duck, somebody is just going to snipe pop you anyway:/ ______ Long ago one gorgeous night, we let the stars grow free.

Lorth	Posted - 2006.06.08 23:17:00 - [12] Originally by: Katar Aman YOU ARE NO LONGER INVULNERABLE WHEN YOU PUT UP A CYNOFIELD. Thank god. I know a certain tempest pilot in a 0.4 system who needs to die. Your days of killing haulers, and spamming cynofields when ever someone with guns comes along are over...

Putting up cynos to simply avoid damage when knowing the invulnerability is a bug sounds like bug abuse/exploiting to me.
Wendat Huron	Posted - 2006.06.09 02:27:00 - [15] Cynos could very well work like gigantic ECM Bursts, no problem there. Firing up cynos with no intent to bring in a capital ship should never be considered an exploit, feigning support being on the way should remain valid tactics.
Airdorn	Posted - 2006.06.09 04:36:00 - [16] Edited by: Airdorn on 09/06/2006 04:37:20 This is pure bull. You are still unlockable, once you start a cynosural field, for the duration of the field. Nothing has changed. Nothing to see here. However, just as it has always been, if you are targeted and locked BEFORE activating the field, then activating the field doesn not break locks and you can be killed and you can't escape it. Try it for yourself. Undock, have someone lock you, start the field. The persont hat had you locked can still kill you, but no one else can lock you at all.

Thank god. I know a certain tempest pilot in a 0.4 system who needs to die. Your days of killing haulers, and spamming cynofields when ever someone with guns comes along are over... Shouldn't 10 minutes be long enough to pick up a smartbomb from somewhere and kill/pod him? I don't think you can use repairers while cynoed, so you wouldn't even need that many smartbombs.

xplosiv	Posted - 2006.06.09 06:38:00 - [19] awww i fitted 1 to my viator. it's great jump into a camp u can't escape just hit it as soon as you uncloak then log. doubtfull a camp has smarties so you vanish as soon as the field goes down.

ThunderBolt	Posted - 2006.06.09 08:33:00 - [22] What happens with Cynofield when I open Cynofield and then someone kill's me ? Will Cynofield stay for the rest of 10 min activation or disappear after my death ?

Disappears, or at least people can't jump to it BDCI Recruitment Officersig edited for lack of pink really PINK -eris
Cyndragon	Posted - 2006.06.09 08:47:00 - [24] if the field vanishes after your ship is killed, i can see possible exploits like making the field in a probe, and then your own fleet kills u when all have arrived just to kill that big "warp to me". a carrier can hold enough probes as substitutes for u. only thing is the perhaps lost cyno generator, but they are not that expensive anyway.

What a wonderful game CCP has created. The game is ok It's the players who tend to find new and innovative ways of using the stuff CCP provides or CCP creating the most obvius bugs, and then trying to tell us that they didnt notice From Dusk till Dawn Sig removed, e-mail us it you'd like to know why. -ReverendM ([email protected])
Grashopper	Posted - 2006.06.11 19:50:00 - [26] Maybe now is a good time for an official Dev answer or statement on this. HAving proven mostly mature the Eve community can take it if Cynosural Generators are bugged either way. We just need to know where we are standing - so if there is a chance, please let us know. As it is now even the GMs, trying there very best, are not coherent on this topic. So - what is the current stance on Cynosural fields ? 1) Makes you untargettable after activation, but not invulnerable to e.g. smartbombs 2) Makes you fully targetabble and attackable by all means, but in turn lets you lock other ships and use (aka turn off and ON ) your modules on board ? 3) Broken Thanks for helping to use this can of worms to catch more fish in the sea ;)
