Dear CCP SeaGull............ I think the time has come for a Cyno rebalance as when the current system was created there were not many capitals in the game. 1st: I think the class of ships that can actually drop a cyno should be up to atleast a Battlecruiser, with Tech 2 Cruisers and Tech 3 cruisers also being able to drop them. Reason a cyno is basically a subspace beacon that is capable of sending a signal many light years away and as such should required a significant amount of power to do. Being able to light a cyno with a rookie ship just isn't right. 2nd: CCP is always preaching balance and counters, which is good, but there is not much balance or counter with a cloaky cyno uncloaking and instantly dropping a cyno. So just as the cyno is a ship based instant module there should be a ship based instant module to block it. As I said above a cyno is just a subspace beacon that capital ships can lock on to, so the counter ship based module should just blanket a 100km area surrounding the ship it was activated from. It should work exactly like a cyno in that the ship that drops it cannot move for 5 mins and so can easily be destroyed. It should be a module that just basically blacks the cyno beacon from being picked up by its fleets capital ships. So a cloaky cyno ships uncloaks and drops a cyno the targeted fleets drops its cyno beacon blocker and no hotdrop. They should not block black ops cyno. Its only fair that if a cyno can be dropped instantly that there be a module that can instantly be dropped to counter it. My idea would allow a lot more pvp small gang fights to happen as now so so many fights don't happen because small gangs are worried about getting hot dropped. You have the bigger alliances in week old cyno alts in systems just waiting to hot drop any small gang fights they see. Where is the balance of a 8 man battle cruiser fleet being hot dropped by 7 supercarriers. Also my idea is just a ruff draft and can be tweaked. |

I'm not a writer by profession, but I do own my own small business and make 150k a year, maybe I can just hire one of you grammar correct guys to either ghost write it for me next time or proof read and edit it. Anyway just get the jest of what I'm saying. |

That was just me being a smartass. Honestly I just don't see the reason to have it be all grammar correct, it can't be that serious, or at least not to me anyway. Its just a computer game to me, but I guess many here are really smart nerd type folks who do you proper grammar and all soooooo maybe I should take the time to format, proof read and edit in the future.......NOT

That's the thing I just don't need or care if my writing is respected. There is no real life reason to even care what anyone thinks about my eve post. I mean I don't know if you've noticed or not, but........... eve isn't real life. Its just not that serious to me, I'm sorry. My job, my business, my kids ect..... those are things I take serious. |

Aivlis Eldelbar, you are posting in my post so why would you point me to the door. If you don't like the way my post is written, you hit the X in the corner and keep it moving to the next more legible post. Maria Dragoon no matter what you think about my english my grammar or my "skills" at running a business none of that will change the fact that I have my own business and run it efficiently. Second I'm a black guy from Florida and if you know any black people you know so called trolling is not in our culture, we don't give a flying **** about that ****. I just don't want to personally take the time to write a grammar correct post for a video game forum, I'm sorry, its just not at the top of my list of things I need to do the right way to be successful in life. With things in my life that really matter I take the time to do them right, this forum my friend or "bro" is just not one of them. Again I am sorry if my post was not up to your standards of what a video game forum post should be, but really who gives a ****. |

Now that being said I agree with Chandaris 110% and he is in Shadow Cartel. Cyno mechanics are really just well overdue for a change. You can defended them all you want, but if they stay at their current state many people whom enjoy small gang pvp will simply lose interest in Eve and move on to other games. How fun will it be for you hot drop players when you guys are the only ones online? Its like you major hot drop players are not even looking for good fights, but just easy kills to pad your meaningless kill board. Where is the challenge in hot dropping a battlecruiser fleet in super carriers. The battlecruisers don't even bother shooting back. But I degress as CCP isn't going to let their game just die, eventually they will change it and the game will be much better for it. |

Yeah and can't blame you guys for doing it, its like if you don't do it they will. I don't think when the cyno mechanics were created that everyone and their mother had cap ships, but now they do. Maybe a 10 sec cyno timer would help. That would instantly stop people from trying to drop a cyno in smaller ships and give a fleet a chance to either stop the cyno from ever going up or gtfo. Black ops should be instant, but cap ships should not. Even jumping gates isn't instant so in addition to a cyno timer the cap ships should have a 5 sec like warm up or something. All the movies we have about space travel and not one is like eve where jumping a number of light years is instant, its always some sort of sub engine initiation. |

Yes that too, not the force the cyno off grid. Because each cap ship is really creating its own wormhole right?. A titan I understand because wormholes all have a certain amount of mass that can pass thru before it closes. Maybe make cynos where only a certain amount of ships can lock on to the beacon at once. Like only a set number per cycle so 100 caps can't jump thru at once. Also I think the cycle time should be reduced to 2 mins at most with 4 30 second cycles with each cycle sending out the singnal pulse which allows for only that set number of caps to jump to. And.....cyno ships should not be remote repperable for 1 min after the cyno is lit. |
