Player Features and Ideas Discussion

a ship that can jump to a system without cyno, plot a route in the map and then just jump.

Hehe, i was actually thinking of writing (no gates) in the main post lol

nice oneliner, can you also clarify why that would be good for the game? i have a cap pilot and think its ridiculous.

I actually agree. It is mandatory now to have either an alt account or an online corp buddy. As always lonewolfs ere being overlooked. There should be a limited jump feature for sub captial ships without having to use a 2nd account.

Think you meant to post that here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=272809&find=unread

It already exists. It's called "any jump-capable ship within range of an Alliance cyno beacon".

Also no, jumping around already tends to be less risky than taking gates. Making it even easier to move around is a bad idea.

It would be pretty cool if they added a ship that could both cyno jump AND use gates, too. Don't like cynos and using costly fuel, ****'em and use a gate. Don't like gates and having to deal with several warps and session changes, ****'em and have a buddy cyno you out. One ship to do either without needing change ships.

In all seriousness though, having a ship that doesn't need someone to drop a cyno at destination for said ship to jump to it would be hard to put in without making it OP as hell, I would think. I'm not on the up-and-up on capitals, but I'm sure there are many issues with such a capability.

Having a frig/cruiser that can jump w/o cyno isnt that bad, just make sure its not realy usable in combat or able to light a cyno on its own.

Would be perfect for exploration ships, they are also most likely to have navigationcomputers that can just plot a location in space and jump there (exploration and all that)

Combine it with the usual exploration bonuses like probe strenght and hacking bonus.

op, you do know while annoying (to you) that cyno serves a second function. They are kind of eyes in sky in the immediate area. They see how hot it is. If moving your cyno alt (or in talking with buddy running the cyno) and the move has you/them sweating bullets or going wtf, this local is mighty red looking today little voices in your heads should be going maybe this hop not a good idea and a new system might b best.

If not allow me introduce cyno beacons. I take it you have not seen when an idiot takes them blind and goes boom as they feed a very easy kill. In voice, in chat and in the forums....that pilot gets tore apart mild to wild lol. Blind cyno beacon jumps are not the way to win friends and influence people basically.


If one of the eve should not need alt types...well then make some friends. For a good friend I would within reasonable distance to me light a cyno for them. Make me go out my way...well then we start talking about m3. As in I will give subtle hints as I go I'd really like to go to BFE and light a cyno for you but I am busy worrying about how I am going to move these 2 hacs to our 0.0 home from empire.

Smart friends picked up the hint right away and said I am full this hop but I got them by next few days...cool? Moral of the story, give up some cargo space (for free) and you will generally find a non cap capable pilot to light a cyno usually.

There was a great article around concerning power projection. That would make it even worse. "Solo" player can sure use it, a group moving in a convoy will surely abuse it - even with the hassle of long cynochains organized groups can easily move capitals so fast they can help a friendly entity before the reinforcement timers tick. Sometimes, in heavy TiDi, even before a battle ends.

Also, there already is a ship that can take cynos and gates. It's a black ops battleship, that also has the luxury of taking sneakier cynos.
