Idea for the Black ops ships. there two parts to it .

1) cynosural field probe launcher and you guested it,
2) cynosural field probe.

This is so a solo player or fleet could make a jump without the need of someone having to be in the sys that they won't to goto,

How would this work you may ask, And what skills would be need for it.
It might work by using the Map to pick the low sec sys you won't too enter

skills maybe like ?

I am just starting out and i am working on getting a Black ops ship. but i am not sure about some things with the ship.
so you need someone to help you jump?. I was thinking you could jump if you had the fuel Question

Need someone to light a cyno, covops or otherwise. Otherwise you can't jump.

Of course, you can still use gates. So there's that.

Edit: BLOPs weren't meant as solo ships. Nothing that relies on cynos is supposed to be used solo. Trying to wedge a new module onto them to make them usable solo won't even really work, as they really do need support in most uses.

This also makes travel absolutely trivial. Fit up a BLOPs with one of these thingies and a real cyno field generator and you can pretty much travel anywhere, anytime without the use of gates. I'd say that's rather game breaking.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I really don't think the game needs more/easier hotdrops.

IMO, let blops warp while cloaked.

why would jump, solo or fleet, blind?

The cyno doubles as a scout to see what is up in and around your destination. Granted you are not as screwed up front as a cap jumping blind on a cyno beacon like a tard.....but still it is nice to know jsut how hot the system is and surrounding systems they see on route.

This and I'd also like to see the Covert Cyno drops get treated like anchoring a high sec POS.

I agree to both, I can't see covert cynos being abused too much in high sec as the ships that can use them are quite limited.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

The gankers would scream blue bloody murder but I'd take allowing Covert cyno with an Empire standings check, then give you a sec hit.

I have 7.00 with gallente so I can cyno in to a .7 system but I then lose .2 or something and fall to 6.8 with Gallente. They don't like us doing it but they don't treat it like a capital crime kind of deal.

How about we just make them not suck?

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
