Cyno Beacon.

A POS module that acts as a beacon for all corp members of the POS owning corp. Similar to a Jump Bridge that would sit outside of a POS.

ABSOLUTELY NOT RISKLESS! You would be jumping blind into a system. If you have a scout there then it is just as easy to light your own cyno. Cyno Beacon camping would produce plenty of JF kills =)

But for a bit more risk you get a bit more effectiveness. Better than having to have a cyno alt everywhere you need to jump to.

Input...

EDIT:
Looking for something in lowsec as well as nullsec! Current pos module only allows null.

I think hes looking for a cyno beacon that ONLY his corp can use.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Sorry, edited the original post. Looking for lowsec capabilities really. More accessibility for these modules.

Would help logistics chains universally

Hes just trying to get around having to have sov or be in an alliance which holds sov in order to set up a permanent cyno. The ideas been brought up before and I for one think its a bad one. There needs to be incentives like that for people to go into sov holding alliances.

AH! Now we're on to something. Yes, that would be handy, wouldn't it?

so basically this idea boils down to "remove the sov restriction from cyno beacons" . . .
