2 words for that: Jump Bridge
A titan pops a bridge open and anything close to it can jump through. (atleast, that's how I think it works)
Doesn't need to be a capital ship.

No no, it only LOOKS as if they fly from the cynofield, when they actually flew THROUGH the cynofield.
Also, military experts call that "abaddon doomsday device" a "work in progress" turret.
Shouldn't that be called the "rust remover" since it was a Matari Capital fleet that got popped?
(I know that it was a reverse engineered Terran energy weapon, but still...)

I love the part where the guy says "Military experts are calling this a Cynosural Field" </captain_obvious>
REALLY NOW? A CYNO? GOOD THING I HAD AN EXPERT TELL ME THAT! I'D HAVE NEVER GUESSED! MUST BE A NEW FEATURE!
cough
As Winterblink correctly mentions above: this was news footage, the average civilian inhabitant of the EVE universe has probably never seen a capital ship before, let alone a Cyno or Jumpbridge.

As if the titan would have the cargo capacity to carry the fuel for 1/10th of that fleet, or even 1/100th.
They called it a Cyno, and since the JB has the same visual I guess I can conceed the confusion. The diologue could have been done a little better in that regard but... *shrug* It just blew the entire imersion factor while watching the (all too short) video when a Brutix comes slowboating through the field.
Also notice that none of the Amarrans fired on the Orca desperately trying to align?
You only need fuel to activate the bridge, not to let a single ship go trough it...
ie: it's not a fuel-guzzler like the Black Ops version. (But then again, the ship firing it costs a tiny bit more  )
