As I understand it once you light a cyno your ship is pretty much immobilized for the duration of the cyno?

Basically what happened was we were camping a nullsec gate, bait myrmidon jumped through and we all jumped on it, myrmidon lights the cyno then scrams and webs the closest ship.

In jumps a dozen black ops ships and blaps him. Everyone else got out except for the poor bugger.

What puzzles me is how the myrmidon was able to use its mods after lighting the cyno?

Go to lowsec light a cyno and find out.






- Hint you you are only prevented from moving, but you can still be bumped.

Immoblized, not disabled. A ship lighting a cyno cannot move, but can still activate modules.

When you see the cyno pop overheat your prop mod, most of the time you can be out of point range before snuff the bridgers are on grid.

No. The first thing you should do when the cyno lights is light your own cyno in response.

I removed a reply post to an edited out part of the post it was quoting.

And to the OP: Yes, lighting a cyno immobilises your ship, but as said above it doesn't incapacitate it. All modules still work.
