EVE General Discussion

Why are cynos allowed within docking range?
Why are cyno jumps more precise than stargates?

For one, the "sphere of arrival" should be similar - if not greater - to a stargate. With that in mind, cynos should not be allowed within at least 15 km from any celestial object such as stations, stargates or POS bubbles (...wait). Why are we risking the lives of all those station dwellers? The last thing I want when enjoying CONCORD advertisements on WiS TV is Jimbo001's Titan jumping onto/into my sorry ass. boom.

If you disagree, please provide another argument than something along the lines of "I don't want EVE to become harder", thanks. There is currently no challenge when travelling using cynos - I doubt anyone complains about the cyno kessy ganks.

If you agree, I'd like to hear how you think this should be implemented and what other restrictions/changes could follow.

He obviously hasn't discovered you can get free kills by popping cyno frigs on stations with something as small as a destroyer and STILL get out before the station guns pwn you.

The answer to this question is quite irrelevant to the discussion.

Considering how easy it is to destroy/pod a logged off cyno, the danger remains the same if the ship was 15 km away from the station. (you can't dock either after getting exploded due to session change ;..;)

We are discussion the vulnerability of the true prize here a.k.a. the capital ships, please continue.

This.

You have provided the answer yourself: a stargate is a giant cyno beacon, therefore its "cyno sphere" (arrival point) is much larger than the ship fitted version, which is very small. From an immersion perspective (and game design), there is also the issue of high volume traffic paths have to account for many, many ships jumping through at once, so that gate is larger to provide extra landing places. Finally, you should already know that you're not at risk of someone crashing through your quarters; ships bounce off stations. Anyone familiar with jumping should know that if you end up inside something else, you're simply pushed out. Fear not station based couch potato, you're in no danger.

Strangely, your post doesn't actually make a case for your desired outcome. Why, exactly, should it be changed? Oh and (to use your ridiculous constraints), make your case without resorting to "EVE is too easy."

'pro pvp'

Now we know what masternerdguy is talking about when he posts about "PVP"

@ OP I am leaning towards agreeing with you. I would like to see something done with the jump drive mechanic. Being able to jump ships right from station to station (something I do all the time) does seem kind of broken. Moving large amounts of goods via JF and/or capital ships designed for unmatched fleet support around should be more difficult IMO.

Unfortunately I don't have any well thought out suggestions so w/e.

I think you answered your own question.

simple: "uninteresting".
