I actually would'nt mind them revisiting how cynos work in general;

First there are suggestions to remove dependancy on cynos by letting people jump to solar systems "blindly" appearing at a random spot in solar system, to balance this, a warpin beacon will stay for 30 seconds on the jumper.

Second, tweaks to the cyno module in itself would make sense. Maybe give the duration of the cyno be based on isotopes in inventory, and eating a chunk of this based on mass of the ship jumping in.

Other tweaks could be to prevernt help given to the cynoer or increasing the requirements on the module, giving frigates a hard time with fitting it. Making a t2 version which you can pulse with 5s intervals, making it wildly more usable on larger ships.

The cyno mechanics is ancient, and for many that makes this for some reason untouchable mechanics wise. But with the changes to capitals, tweaking cynoing makes sense for a more tactical playstyle.

All good ideas, ccp should pick a few and implement them, because the OP is right about some of those issues. The threat of an instant fleet appearing on top of you every time a neutral pilot enters system is tiresome. At the moment we have jump fatigue which is annoying capital pilots, yet still permitting hotdropping, which is annoying to everyone else. They've tweaked the rules to **** off basically everybody and need to adjust the dial.

Actually no it was my BC engaging a rupture solo only for a cyno to go up and 3 Aeons a Levithon 2 Archons and 3 Panthers jumped in and killed me in 0.0 no gate camp and I was alone

Pictures or it didnt happen as your killboard says nothing

your alliance killboard is entertaining though, tell me more about the orca you blobbed, or the oracle you hotdropped with a load of blops

I'm not saying we haven't hot dropped we have, and to be honest we've done it with both blops and titan bridges and in spite of the size of my mains corp we have probably more capitals than most per head and not being able to jump would be a major pain including for my accounts having 2 carriers and a dread myself but I still see this as a potentially better solution than the current situation. Especially for small alliances trying to defend there space against an unaware invading force.
