Wait, are complaining that cynos are annoying, or that there are too many capital ships in EVE?

I just opened up a ton of accounts in order to raise cyno alts. Each account has one actual legit character on it...that I will probably never play.

I imagine this is working as intended.

I don't see the problem?

EvE is an MMO-RTS after all. At least that's the way I play it :-)

Not sure I 'get' the issue.

I think it's an issue you can make bank tanking majors in Minmatar FW with a fresh account.

I think it's an issue that you can kill an exhumer with a more-or-less fresh account in a destroyer.

Not really seeing how people lighting cynosaural fields (which you need a separate character to do for you anyway, by nature) presents a huge issue.

We've all heard the horror stories about jumping into "friendly" cynos and honestly, there are worse alting activities out there.

Teamplay is not a crime. If people decide to play a whole team of alts by themselves, well... vOv



Because playing a Cyno toon as a main is incredibly profitable and fun right?


Oh yeah, I forgot that Cynosural Field Theory is the only skill that cant be learned additionally, thus it must be used on a dedicated "cyno toon".

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

As patient as I can be at times, I really don't want to wait around for somebody else to be available when I need to jump my caps from one place to another. ;)

If everybody I knew in Eve could open up a cyno, then it wouldn't be much of an issue. But that isn't the case, and I make due with a second account for it.

I don't however keep that account open at all times. I tend to only re-activate it when I know I am going to be needing it in the near future.

Cyno alts are not your problem. It sounds like your problem is "Sigh, no alts."

I actually light the cyno with my main because my alt is the carrier pilot.

No cyno alt here, just a cyno main

Just make the cyno skills 8x, and cynos only mountable on T3s with a new subsystems.

Solved

Delete cynos from the game and allow caps to jump by themselves.

Problem solved.

Cyno alts really aren't the problem.

The whole "jump" mechanic needs to be looked at in general.

It is far too easy to move fleets (cap or otherwise) significant distances in EVE... and the ability to jump a fleet without also needing to take the Titan or BO battleship through with it needs to be looked at.

Everyone is joking about this...and most likely rightfully so considering the nerd-rageness of the OP.

BUT...

Is it really good game design? No one likes to use their mains (for obvious reasons) lighting cynos unless you are in a recon and cynoing in carriers that can rep you. Why can't we work on those obvious reasons? No one considers a well placed or timed cyno a mini profession...and that is a shame considering how important it can be.

Those are valid targets but if you want to remove Cyno alts then:
- CCP should start by removing boosting alts, jamming alts, remote rep alts, multiboxing, those have a much higher negative impact than a cheap throwaway cyno alt.

If anyone in -A- or its allies need a cyno, they will be happy to know that I can provide that service for them.

lol

I have a cyno alt on each of my five accounts, I am available to light cynos for up to 5 jumps in one shot, just book an appointment and I will set up a terrific cyno experience for you!

Yeah the whole some ships can use gate and some can not is a bit lame! But selling cyno alts is good business.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

-A- is becoming more and more like a NPC corp. CCP should remove -A- members posting rights until they join a real corp.
