Simple fix to that- change cynos only fittable on caps and BLOPS. Sitting on the cyno for 10 minutes is no longer boring.

Also, disable jumping to cynos from hisec.

See? Life can be worth living.

Making it so it's not a 'disposable' alt does not make it 'main character only', it simply means that the character should have to have a decent investment, thus be of a clone value worth protecting. Rather than less than the free clone in SP, so who cares if they get podded even.

Even more stupid than suggesting a player sits on their main character and *does absolutely nothing* for 10 minutes?


I light cynos on my main all the time, what's the problem with that?

I would prefer a tech II cyno. Needs cyno theory V... Activates for 5 min... So that way on a recon it only lasts 2 min 30 seconds...
At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box.

A covery cyno is 40 seconds yet a regular cyno is 10 MINUTES.
Can we change the length to something reasonable here, like 5 minutes.

I like this idea. It might also encourage more BLOPs.

It would be really funny if cyno's worked both ways.

Blob 1: "Incoming cyno!"
Blob 2 "Aha! Ambush!"
Blob 1: "Lock jump drives on enemy cyno!"
Blob 2:" Huh? Where did they all go?"
Blob 1: "Ah so this is where they've been hiding their shipyard... open fire!"
Blob 2: "Fuuuuuuuuuuu..."
