A small change to reduce power projection to the battlefield

It's a small change, that no where near fixes the problems with power projection but I think this idea would create some interesting changes in the way it works right now. Hopefully for the better.

Limit how often titans can bridge to a cyno, set their bridge time to 5 or 10 minutes or set a time for which a new bridge cannot be opened for that amount of time. This creates a situation where titans can only open a bridge to one cyno in that amount of time, so if the cyno they are bridging to were to be killed the fleet would be stuck until the titan could bridge again. Obviously large groups could counter this by having multiple titans in the same pos for bridging, but this would require them to bring a lot of their titans closer together effectively reducing their large titan bridging networks. Which I think we can agree would be a good thing. This makes killing cynos on grid much more important, and would very much reduce the use of rookie ships and frigates as cynos.
