I notice that over last several months, CCP put some effort into improving actual gameplay. But they completely ignored all the cyno mechanics stuff

Why is it still acceptable to have disposable Kestrels that can light a cyno and let unlimited number of ships jump thru instantly

Why is it still possible to jump thru cyno instantly when it lights up? even 15 second delay would be enough to bring some level of balanc

Why is there still no way to prevent cyno activation on tactical level? no short range cyno jammers, no module at all to prevent the enemy from lighting up and channeling a fleet instantly

Cyno travel is supposed to be more strategic than tactical. And like everything else in the game, it's supposed to have some counters other than a system wide jammer that can only be installed by defending alliance. I can understand if the players fail to see the flaw of this design. But why can't the devs see it? How can CCP still not see after years of the problem getting worse and worse
Not asking for anything radical here, just some delay in jumping and some short range counter module. And maybe even up the cyno module requirements so Kestrels can't use them

Look at all you babies crying.

Why is it fair to allow hundreds of sub cap ships to blob a gate and allow them all to jump in without some sort of traffic timer?

Why can massive sub cap blobs traverse mutiple systems in the space of a few minutes when they cry about capital jumping?

Why is it acceptable for sub caps to be built in hours when caps take weeks? If a Battleships can be built in 8 hours, caps should be built in less than 5 days.

Why is it acceptable for sub cap ships to require plain minerals to be produced and not have components like capital ships? Don't they have sub capital armor plates, sub capital propulsion engines and so on?

Personally, I say allow caps to jump without cynos to massive celestials. Remove cynos. Jump bridges will work the same way. No more precision dropping or jumping.

The answer to that lies in the fact that their jump direction is entirely predictable and easily scoutable. With a little effort you can know how big the force is on the other side, you can even get 10 second warning when they all start jumping before they actually appear in the other system. With cyno, there is no way to effectively scout incoming force. Unless you get lucky or use spies, you don't know who's jumping it, where they coming from, and how many there are.

Smaller ships are supposed to travel faster than large ones. With cyno mechanics, the cap ships travel much faster than even interceptors. That isn't right.

That has nothing to do with cyno mechanics.

While that is an interesting idea, it's too radical to be considered as a "fix" and should be proposed separately

Why would you think that any of this would be a good idea?

Eve is cold. Scouting enemy forces is for babies in empire. Real men run into fights blind.

Its called force projection. Working as intended. Bring a bigger gang or deal with it.

Your there for PvP to begin with... why would you need a warning that more PvP is coming your way? So you can run away?

Cap ships jumping massive distances is perfectly acceptable, simply because we take hours to align and warp and we can't jump by ourselves. We can't use gates, we can't really target you fast enough to be a threat even if we jump right on top of you. Infact, you probably have a full minute or more to gtfo if you get dropped. So I really dont see your problem.

You all enjoy telling hulk pilots to align if they dont want to get popped... maybe sub cap gangs need to stay aligned during a pvp fight so that the moment they see a cyno, they can warp off or get owned.

I think someone got hotdropped by a cyno kestrel.

I completely agree. A 'spool up' timer on a cyno? 15 seconds would honestly be a good amount of time.

A bridge on top of a fleet would likely die.

A bridge off gird, but close (couple hundred thousand km) would give quick fleet (hacs?) just enough time to get there and pop it before ships start coming through.

A bridge a few AU out, would allow fast ceptors to get there, and have a small chance of popping a small ship.

A bridge many AU out already gives the fleet a lot of warning of incoming ships.

With a spool up timer, I don't think a small 'anti cyno' field is needed.

However, portable system wide one might not be bad-not sure to be honest.

I definately think it should be a little bit more dynamic though. Not many fleets fly around through gates any more :P

because it actually is

cynos are currently one goddamn problem when you try to fly close range ships like gallente for example. or armor tanked ships.

Not need spool timer, but need travel time after cyno pop up.

Add after every one light year to 1 second to travel time.
That's mean, the jump from 15 LY would be 15 sec time long. If the cyno ship popped, the fleet travel would be broken there where the fleet it's traveling.
When they moving on a 10 LY route and their cynoship down at the 7th seconds, the travel would be broken at the 7th LY and the fleet would arrive just there where they are just during the travel.

This would provide an intriguing method for making *very* deep safes, which I am lead to believe are considered "bad".
