Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Dear CCP SeaGull............ I think the time has come for a Cyno rebalance as when the current system was created there were not many capitals in the game. 1st: I think the class of ships that can actually drop a cyno should be up to atleast a Battlecruiser, with Tech 2 Cruisers and Tech 3 cruisers also being able to drop them. Reason a cyno is basically a subspace beacon that is capable of sending a signal many light years away and as such should required a significant amount of power to do. Being able to light a cyno with a rookie ship just isn't right. 2nd: CCP is always preaching balance and counters, which is good, but there is not much balance or counter with a cloaky cyno uncloaking and instantly dropping a cyno. So just as the cyno is a ship based instant module there should be a ship based instant module to block it. As I said above a cyno is just a subspace beacon that capital ships can lock on to, so the counter ship based module should just blanket a 100km area surrounding the ship it was activated from. It should work exactly like a cyno in that the ship that drops it cannot move for 5 mins and so can easily be destroyed. It should be a module that just basically blacks the cyno beacon from being picked up by its fleets capital ships. So a cloaky cyno ships uncloaks and drops a cyno the targeted fleets drops its cyno beacon blocker and no hotdrop. They should not block black ops cyno. Its only fair that if a cyno can be dropped instantly that there be a module that can instantly be dropped to counter it. My idea would allow a lot more pvp small gang fights to happen as now so so many fights don't happen because small gangs are worried about getting hot dropped. You have the bigger alliances in week old cyno alts in systems just waiting to hot drop any small gang fights they see. Where is the balance of a 8 man battle cruiser fleet being hot dropped by 7 supercarriers. Also my idea is just a ruff draft and can be tweaked.

dat grammar. I get what you are saying however it just kills my eyes reading through that.

In regards to your topic I agree a bit however I do not think it will really change anything. We would just starting treating every cyno like a super being dropped in. This will only hurt small groups that do not have bridge networks and safe POS online.

That is not really a price. It only secures the escalation on field.

Allow any cyno to be jumped to regardless of the player standings or fleet status. We can see them on the map, why not just let anyone jump to them? This might make someone a little less likely to escalate if they know everyone else can jump the cyno.

That was just me being a smartass. Honestly I just don't see the reason to have it be all grammar correct, it can't be that serious, or at least not to me anyway. Its just a computer game to me, but I guess many here are really smart nerd type folks who do you proper grammar and all soooooo maybe I should take the time to format, proof read and edit in the future.......NOT

That's the thing I just don't need or care if my writing is respected. There is no real life reason to even care what anyone thinks about my eve post. I mean I don't know if you've noticed or not, but........... eve isn't real life. Its just not that serious to me, I'm sorry. My job, my business, my kids ect..... those are things I take serious.

Also, based on your ability... Or lack there-of, to understand the point people are making to you, makes me believe you lack all those. I would understand if you are not from an English speaking country, you may struggle with the grammar and spelling... However, seeing that it looks like you are from an English speaking country, the lack of English skills make you look very uneducated, and very unemployable. Let alone skilled enough to run said business.

Didn't read your proposal because I simply can't be arsed to read something when the writer can't be arsed to write it legibly. Then you go on to say, paraphrasing "I'm a total douche and don't care enough about my idea to give a crap about it". Well, in that case, neither do I.

Oh yeah, and you come across as a bit of a ****.

nah, I don't buy it. More likely has nothing to do with small gang fights and you just want to be able to roll around with some friends and gank solo players. Problem is being unsure if that target is really a solo player or bait. Taking the time to ship scan them would mean many real solo players will get away.



You exaggerate, not saying it's never happened, but if people did this as often as your trying to make it sound like they'd get noticed and someone would bait them and happily remove their toys.

Make cynos work like titan bridges. Consumes fuel based on the mass of the ship that jumps to it.
