Cyno Jammer Deployable/POS structure

I would like see a localized cyno jammer POS module, with a radius approximately 150km.

This doesn't stop people from jumping into the system, then warping to the POS, but at least allows people to control their immediate territory around the shield.

It would also be nice to see a deployable structure similar to a warp bubble that disappears at downtime - but with a shorter range.

Hot dropping wouldn't be impossible for ships with long range weapons, but at least they won't be so cheesy.

Instead of adding a new module, this could be implemented as a charge for T2 destroyers and a script for heavy interdictors.

Alternatively, limit the range of cyno beacons within other objects, as they do with secure cans already.

I was just thinking of the same thing. Also concerning events like having a phoenix on field and actually making use of its range.. would.necessitate making on-grid probing impossible. Probes being unable to lock on to ships within 300km of your own ship would help make sniping more attractive

There is going to be some sort of deployable jammer in Rubicon.

" Rubicon adds an interesting counter to capital hot-dropping in the form of disposable, one-time use cynosural field jammers. This device will prevent Cynosural Field Generators from activating within a range of about 70-100km, but it may not deactivate fields that are already established. The enemy can still jump in capital ships elsewhere in the system and warp them into the battlefield, but this will remove the surprise escalation element of hot-dropping and makes it much easier for a fleet to escape when the big guns arrive"

Really what I want is a full set of cynosural field jammers for the HIC, interdictors, and POSes with hefty fitting requirements. This makes it possible for a small or mid sized fleet to get into a fight and prevent a hot drop from landing right on top of them.

PS- While we are at it can we make titians either have to jump when bridging or have to bridge outside a POS. There should be some sort of risk for titans when bridging.

Astonishing! OP's wishes have been answered before he even wished them!

So, how about some kind of paint sprayer, debris field or fluorescent plasma discharge that bumps cloaks within a certain radius too?
