I would like to see regular Cyno's droped to 1 minuite...2...3...5 max

With cooldown and fatigue one cannot do multiple jumps back and forth even with a jump freighter so having a long cyno is only locking that toon into an unnecessary time situation.

The only reason to have a long time on the cyno is for fleet jumps and that 1 guy who is afk and needs to wake up and bloddy well jump!! and I would rather relight for those rare times that someone is slow to jump.

This brings into question those ships that have bonus to shorten cyno times and of course Covert Cyno's that are already short.

I would be most happy with a Covert cyno at 30 seconds or less and have a ship with bonus to shorten a regular cyno to the same - literaly it's undock capital, light cyno, jump - for me alone moving my capital all I need is 10 to 30 seconds - for a fleet mabey a minuite.

Still...why does the cyno need to last 10 minuites???

Even if it's on a carrier or whatever - anything that needs to jump is going to do that in the first minuite or so - the rest of the 9 minuites is silly - most combat, even when you lads take down someones titan or super the entire battle only lasts a few minuites - having that 1 sip locked down frozen by their cyno is silly.

If you need saving then light another one - plus it allows you to get back into the fight and trying to save yourself faster

Most of the time I have seen a cyno ship warp to an enemy fleet they only last a few seconds anyways - the only benefit of a long cyno is for a roamer to enter system and say "hey look ...a cyno over there, lets go see" (and now I see your point - with short cyno's it's harder to warp in on someone traveling with their super etc). But the vast majority of time it's light, jump (or fleet jump) and now you have cooldown/fatigue so any more jumps in any direction are over - how much time does a cyno need to keep going!!!

CCP previously halved the cycle time of siege / triage from 10mins to 5mins, and halved the amount of stront it used. I don't see why that can't be done for cynos and ozone too.

Halve the amount of LO used and now travel fit interceptors can all fit and use a cyno without any cargo expanders.

T2 cyno. 5 minute cycle. cyno 4 minimum, ends up with 2/3 the current LOX costs.

I only have 3.5 mill sp and its all in mining. but i think a T2 half timer cyno that's not a L5 skill would be OP
But you do know there's a ship in eve that can all ready give you half timer cynos? and its a skill sink to fly it why do we need more ways to get 5mins cynos?

Needs to get substatially less effiicient as you decrease cyno times via scripts or another skill or cynos become the new utility high on interceptors scouting ahead of the main fleet.

in a week thoses days are gone,

whats the point in shortening cyno if you wait 10mins then move to next point you have have waited out your fatigue timer by then.

or you could always kill your cyno and then you can move again

It adds some risk to the cyno pilot. Which is always a good thing. If you had a shorter cyno time, then hotdropping someone becomes even easier. Put cyno on bait ship, hostiles take bait, you drop them. Currently, they have ten minutes to reform and get back at you. Shortening that response time is a buff to hotdropping, which is why I won't support it.

Or, if you want a shorter cyno, put a more expensive ship at risk - use a recon to light the cyno. Now your ship is only stuck for five minutes, but if you get tackled you have to be able to defend the ship.

Or, if you want a shorter cyno, put a cheaper ship at risk. Use a noobship cyno, initiate self-destruct, light cyno with 19 seconds left. Jump. Cyno is down. Profit.
