1. Kestral 2. Cyno Gen 3. Ozone 400 units/skill dependant 4. Activate cyno gen 5. Deactivate cyno gen 6. Wait 10 minutes, and most likely get blown up
but if your asking this, you need to play more first

Pilot 1: Carrier
Pilot 2: Cyno Generator
Form fleet
Pilot 2 flies off to whereever (within jump range).
Pilot 2 drops cyno (activates module)
Pilot 1 right clicks on fleet member and selects "jump to XYZ"
Pilot 1 appears next to pilot 2.
At least that's how it's been described to me, I've never flown a carrier. -- Sir, I don't understand why we train for ECM, sir - in a fleet battle all you got to do is press buttons.

And here I get, thinking I'd see a thread about "how to kill a carrier" (a.k.a. "jumping a carrier"), and all I get is somebody who doesn't know the first thing about cynos. Dissapointing.

Well some of the things he said should be expanded upon:
When you open up a cyno field, the cyno generator ship basically sits there for 10 minutes. It can't move, it can't activate any modules etc. This is why he suggested using a Kestrel - it has the CPU/PG to fit the cyno generator and a large enough cargo bay for the fuel - it is also very cheap, something that will come in useful when you're sitting there for 10 minutes unable to do anything (because you will likely get killed if you're doing this anywhere near hostile territory).
Cyno beacons attract enemies like sh1t attracts flies - they'll be buzzing around you, so it's important that you update your clone :)

Edited by: Domania on 04/02/2008 16:34:08 This makes me sad, I worked hard to train and buy my carrier and here is some guy who uses real money to get one in 5 mins. However I am glad CCP did this because it makes a isk sink with the amount of carriers he will lose! amirite?
I also thought it was about jumping a carrier in a belt or something. :P

Edited by: Ralara on 04/02/2008 16:46:15 Why's everyone saying that he's an isk buyer / ebayer?
What if someone's asked him to be a cyno for them and he is not sure how? Or what if he read about carrier jumping but wasn't quite sure how it worked - CCP's documentation on half the features in this game leave a lot to be desired, afterall.
No need to be so rude to him :)
(and if he does buy isk / ebay then when he loses it very quickly, all's well). -- Sir, I don't understand why we train for ECM, sir - in a fleet battle all you got to do is press buttons.

perhaps people should just stop jumping to conclusions. has the OP said "I bought a carrier with GTCs"? no. Has the OP even said that he is doing this? no.
it's called asking a question. People need to stop trolling every single damn thread in these forums and making baseless claims at every line.
I'd love to know how covert cynos work. I've never used one. does that mean I've bought a carrier alt with GTCs? like hell it does. get a life, people.

Edited by: Matrixcvd on 04/02/2008 17:06:32 Edited by: Matrixcvd on 04/02/2008 17:04:33 who cares if he bought GTCs, stole credit cards, robbed banks and sent the money to iceland?
maybe i am getting old school, but, and the link clearly shows, he is just going to be fodder for some lucky guy. he will probably cyno his first carrier in and it will bounce so far of the station it won't even be on grid.
I am generally nice and try to help but you don't ask how to fly a carrier if you haven't paid your dues and learned from the people around you. It's like going to the Life.com forums and asking how to take a p1ss. It either is taught in the proper setting or comes naturally and you have to wear diapers.
To the OP. I suggest you forgo the carrier and just get the nyx, put civilian guns on it and small shield extenders and missile rigs so we can just laugh when someone posts your future kill mail. Sell the char and GB2WoW

well... the OP doesnt know anything about how cynos work but he's offering 14 bil isk in another thread for a carrier pilot.
I feel like anyone that earned all that money in game and is actively interested in carriers would know how they work by now. Just saying.

Sounds like someone who made money playing the invention game while slowly building a capital ship alt. 14 billion ISK is a crapload of money to buy via GTC trade. Even assuming 200 million for a 30 day GTC, that's seventy GTCs that have to be sold...
Also, unless you happen to know someone who runs a capital ship, there's nothing to build on prior to getting into a capital ship to teach you what you need to know about cynoing. The jump from battleships up to capitals is a VERY abrupt transition with a lot of new systems dumped in your lap without much prior introduction.
The two man cyno system is designed to make capitals a group asset which theoretically requires a group to work properly. A cyno jumping player shouldn't be alone in space. Rorquals shouldn't be used except in controlled sovreign space, and carriers and dreads shouldn't be used without proper fleet support.
They are NOT solo ships, and should be flown alone only on alliance cyno chains, if ever.

You forgot a few steps:
3. Carrier jumps in, see's a few flashing reds... 4. Activates it's faction smartbombs and pods their own cyno alt..
Ok, hands up who has done this ...

You're missing a crucial step - the cyno pilot and the carrier have to be in the same gang for it to work and the gang has to be formed before the cyno goes up. Otherwise the carrier can't jump and you could end up being responsible for a carrier loss. Ask me how I know :) -- DEVS get multiple CPUs/Cores per system and all will be forgiven.

Pilot 1 appears next to pilot 2.
Pilot 2 gang warps to SS in system. Pilot 2 remains stationary at Cyno Field but Pilot 1 will auto warp to the SS.
I have added a couple of steps which I was told during my first solo 'jump' a few weeks ago. You don't want the carrier to have to wait for the cyno pilot to move to the next system / have to create its own safespot to wait or log out at the cyno field etc.
