Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What would you think about a type of point module that would have the ability to prevent a cyno from being launched and/or turn off a cyno.


The drawbacks: fairly large CPU/PG requirement (more than most frigate T2 long range weapons) and then something like a -(7 to 10) GJ/s cap requirement.

The gameplay would be such that, if you would want to put the module on a fast locking frigate, it would likely only cycle once before it uses up the frigate's cap unless it has dedicated cap boosters solely for cyno-jamming. You could much more easily fit it on a cruiser, but unless you are sacrificing some more slots in order to also fit an insta-locking setup, you'd need other fleet support to get some scan res boosts. Additionally, it would only have a pretty limited range of 20-30km.

So it would be a good countermeasure to cynos that are on small/midsized ships. But anything that can either land on grid, and light cynos before being locked and jammed would still be 100% viable, and most other things could just light the cynos at range, but outside of other non cov-ops points.
