Eve has gotten huges and the new BS are Caps. Just about everyone and their sister has one. The problem is moving them. It just doesn't make sense that there is 0.0 cyno generators and not low sec ones! Have you ever tried to move a cyno alt around to pick up 900m in trit orders? You should! -- You'll want to self destruct yourself!
Background...
Think about it... wouldn't low sec cyno generators (LSCG) exist in low sec for the existing NPC corps?? Hows do the Navys get around? How do these outposts get fuel and supplies? The fact of the matter they would exist and since they do wouldn't pilots have access with the right standing? Of course they would... so where are they?! They're coming and when they do they will add yet another exciting dimension to the game!
Not only are they a great opportunity to help speed up the game a little, they also will create more action and opportunity. It just isn't realistic that in order to move caps around one need to fly a silly cyno alt around.
Making LSCG interesting...
How would they work... a cap pilot will be able to select station in their "jump to" menu that are in range and that they have appropriate standings for.
However, there will be a 50% chance a jumping cap will land 1000-2000km from the outpost. And there is a 5% chance a pilot will bump directly off the station itself sending your cap hurling into space. So beware when low sec jumping! Also, system pirates might keep some caps in the area to encourage a bump offs... And remember, using a LSCG is by no means a walk in the park... the system might have eager pirates just waiting for cap to bump and kill. Jump with care!
Faction Counts...
A pilot and corp faction will play an important role. The more LSCGs an NPC corp has the higher the required standing would be needed and cap pilots player standing would be automatically subtracted off corp access. For example lets say u have a -3 personal standing for your low sec piracy and your corp standing is a 8, your effective standing would be a 5. If an 8 was needed for access you would be denied access until your personal standing increases.
With the addition of LSCG we hope to see ccp adding new capital npc events that will randomly and periodically jump in and out of low sec systems for fueling outposts. This will create an npc avenue for pirates and other entrepreneurs wanting to take on a NPC cap and its support fleet. Beware! The faction hit would be significant!
Please give this idea a thumbs up and add more detail how it would work.

Great idea! I think this will actually help eliminate caps because people are inherently lazy and will just blind jump without thinking of the consequences.
Also the faction idea is good... put greater merit on it and rewards high faction.
Good Job! |

CCP Might need to strengthen low sec nodes tho... I could see hot drops on hot drops on hot drop fun... Faction wouldn't be n issue, all ud need to do is fit a cyno on the carrier that did have faction then light it and the rest would follow! Then BOB would do the same on top of you and next thing you'd have is eve crashing!!! great idea!
Low sec node crashing for the win!!! We recently did some low sec cap/fleet action... did u all approve the ships loss reimbursements yet? |

Cynos should be limited-nerfed; not expanded.
Between jump clones, jump bridges, and cyno-capable mega-ships the "easy travel" options are way too easy these days.

Good idea!
A few more: I would make the spawn just random on-grid from the station instead of a discrete all-or-nothing system. I also don't see the purpose of the sec penalty. Finally, maybe it could be made such that you must wait 1 minute before and after jumping stationary in which time the cyno gen would show up on overview to everyone.

Btw, there is no jump bridges in low sec. Put in a top regional buy order for trit for 90 days and then try to pick it up in a jump freighter? Youll go mad!
