Here is an off the Wall Idea.

2 new items or deploy able structures

A deploy able force field.

A deploy able Web array.

They can be anchored anywhere and are small enough to be carried by the cyno pilot. The force filed is large enough to encompass 1 capital ship. It lasts about an hour with fuel. A cyno pilot can the anchor the field to online it after the capital ship jumps.

The web can be anchored by the cyno and it webs anything within a 14 k range for faster warps to a pos or station.

For those that argue super capitals maybe have a larger one that requires a larger cyno ship to use.

Hey everyone. One more announcement to make today for our end of April release.

"Garage door cynos" are a tactic that uses starbase forcefields to enable extremely safe movement of capital ships. This is an unintended and unhealthy use of game mechanics that we will be removing this month.

In our April release, cynos will no longer be able to be lit within the potential forcefield area of an Anchored, Online or Reinforced starbase. This means that essentially, cynos will have the same behavior near a starbase whether the forcefield is active or not.

Let us know what you think!

Some clarification needs to be made here. Anchored or anchoring. Anchoring, like the process of being anchored. For example a faction small tower takes 360seconds to anchor (6minutes) and the same to online. Being that a normal cyno lasts 10minutes you can already see the problem.

I could just,

1. Starting Anchoring a Small Faction Tower.
2. Light Cyno before the tower becomes anchored directly on the stick.
3. Starting onlining the tower as soon as possible.
4. Tower goes online and I jump a super into the tower. Change the password and eject the cyno ship.
5. The cyno should remain up for about 3 to 4minutes inside the shields.

Based from your original text you said, "anchored". Basically you fixed nothing and I found just another way to do the garage door cyno. If you want to fix this issue this mechanic needs to be applied to anchoring structures aswell. Alternatively you could offset the anchoring time and just lower the onlining time for a tower. For example making the faction small tower take 10minutes to anchor and like 2 minutes to online.

And what would that last suggestion accomplish? I light my cyno at minute 9 of the anchoring process and have even less time to worry about my super sitting in space. Besides, there is plenty of time to shoot the cyno on the anchoring, onlining tower.

Has someone tested on Sisi if this actually works?

This is correct.

Did you just post with your alt Fozzie?

EDIT: That is so your alt! Forum history is a little sparse there Gabriel ;)

None too soon, just watched 30 supers use this.

To come out with this statement offhand just as the update is made just scares people who don't have an iota what you on about.

Your post is so vague it is confusing. If it is so serious that an change must be made so quickly then EXPLAIN in detail what i it is you mean.. Answering it in follow up posts just confuses matters even more.

I have people that are now convinced that you can no longer light a cyno with in 30 KM of a station..

This is so bloody **** poor!!

The original "garage door cyno" was,

1. Anchor POS.
2. Start onlining tower without placing in the password.
3. Light cyno right next to the stick.
4. Change the password and forcing the forcefield online.
5. Cyno ship gets ejected from the POS. The cyno remains inside the shield.

This was noted as an exploit from, link . However it seems it was never enforced.

As this gentleman said, exploits should be seldom publicised prior to the fix, as to minimse their impact on gameplay.

It is fixed.

30supers fleets wont get hurt by this.

Don't they tho?
Depends if your been fished by lol tri or well.... US
