Less opportunities for people to gank JFs makes it a bad idea

Being able to completely bypass the dangerous bits is a pretty significant reason not to allow it.
Yes. It's quick enough as it is. Making it quicker isn't a good thing. Making it safer isn't really all that good either. Both at once is downright bad.

Yes. It's a great thing when you need to move stuff yourself, but instant teleportation in general isn't really a good thing for the game. It's used for two basic things, avoiding trouble and effort for yourself while trying to drop trouble on someone elses shoulders.

The first one is a problem, since it removes a lot of the potential interactions between players and makes logistics effortless. This means there are less interesting things hapening in space and differences between different parts of space are reduced. Again good for the person doing it, but makes the game a lot less interesting, more homogenized and reduces the options available for an enterprising entrepreneur.

The second is a problem, since it allows people from a wide area to instantly react to threats within a wide area and pile up on them without worry. Scouting becomes sort of pointless when any ship can potentially teleport hundreds of ships to their location. Blockades are pointless, if ships can just jump past the camp. Committing to a fight is very risky, since those empty next door systems are no indication, that the enemy can't get instant reinforcements. It also somewhat reduces the point of fleet mobility and relying more on smaller ships, since teleporting will always be the fastest way to travel. The best part of all this is ofcourse, that while it's available to all, the bigger and more established you are, the more you benefit from this.

Not all of this applies to highsec cynos, but I'd still rather keep it a cyno free zone with it's own unique ecosystem and environment. If you want your fast travel, you can jump to a lowsec system near your destination and slowboat from there to your destination. At least then there is potential risk attached to your teleporting, so there is at least some risk/reward calculations you have to make.

Here's the solution ..

Allow both cyno types everywhere.
Supers can never enter low-sec.
Capitals in high-sec cannot activate any mods or dock at any station.

My precious low-sec is free from prevailing blobs, cross-cluster logistics remains intact and JF's get a bit of risk attached.

it wouldn't be so bad if they had to jump to an npc controlled cyno beacon... moar tears and privateers could camp those all day.

Doesn't agtrr with tippia often but now i do

besides can you imagine all the cyno s going off around jita 4-4

But they are still using gates and can be ganked right?



And why would that be a good thing?



This ^^.

That would mean more people doing the same, ok, but it will also mean more competitiviness -> lower prices -> look for new markets -> everybody wants a JF -> more market opportunities for ship builders -> easier access to resources for everybody -> more free time to actually build your game, instead of setting autopilot to jita, arriving half an hour later, looking at all the wannabe sharks camping the lanes.

It's not that is not already safe to travel if you know how, so I think it's just dumb to remove a big part of the game mechanics arbitrarily from highsec because, just because.

It's not the same going 4 jumps to buy something than to have to make 20.

Paying 5 billion or so for a ship should allow you to bypass some dangerous bits once in a while. Not saying you should be able to pay to remove your risk completely - there should always be a bit of risk, but there should be a lot less risk in high sec. That's why it's high sec.
