Or, admit your code is so dorked that you are incapable of fixing the exploit and have to screw with the rest of the game.

Don't forget to add force field radius to this to calculate your minimum necessary range if you want to cyno in and actually shoot the damn things. Oh, you wanted to fit close-range guns? Eat a ****. Why? Because this is easier.

installing ihub upgrades requires one of four ships
doomsdaying something requires one of four ships
fighterbombers require one of five ships
webbing something at a long range requires one of three ships
pointing something at a long range requires one of three ships

i can go on about mechanics that make certain ships absolutely mandatory but i'm sure you get the picture by now

Hello everyone.
In our upcoming Oceanus release we are planning to make a change to the rules surrounding the way Cynos and Starbases interact. These new rules will help mitigate the issues surrounding jumping capitals sometimes colliding with ships inside a starbase forcefield.

Currently you can light cynosural beacons as long as you are outside the forcefield. After this change, cynos will not be lightable within 25km of the forcefield edge. If for any reason a cyno is active within 25km of a forcefield (if the cyno was lit before the password was entered for instance) then any ships jumping to that cyno will appear within 5km of a point that is a minimum of 25km from the forcefield (instead of appearing around the cyno).

At the same time we will also be increasing the minimum distance that Jump Bridges and Cyno Generator Arrays may be anchored from the forcefield to 25km. The maximum distance away from the control tower that any structure can be anchored will be increased to 55km/60km/65km for small/medium/large starbases respectively. Any existing Jump Bridge and Cyno Generator Array structures will be automatically pushed away from their starbase's forcefield until they are 25km away.

This change does increase the risk involved in cynoing to starbases in some situations, but in our opinion this added risk is both acceptable and desirable.

I agree that it is a nice change, although it would be great if you would extend it to 30km away with respect to the cyno gens next to a force field. More then once I have had a carrier slowboat into a pos-shield and, while this will probably fix that problem especially for errant thannies/niddies, archons and chimeras may still present a problem where they can slowboat into a pos force-field vs a solo super. I am also really happy to see one of Black Legion's favourite little bugs getting fixed with regards to force-fields that have yet to be activated.

Everything but top tier upgrades, beacons, bridges, and jammer upgrades, fit in JFs or smaller, so it's 8+ hulls.
LR webs are actually loki huginn rapier bhaal ashimmu (does the cruor have this too?) and hyena. so 6-7.
and LR points are... 4 ceptors, 1 EAF, 3 mordus, proteus, arazu, lach - so that's uh, 11, by my count.

Diversity is fine. I like diversity. I love the choices and options EVE gives us. What I don't love are mechanics changes which force me into one sole course of action. I have multiple means of moving most ihub upgrades, for example. Doomsdays I admit are a niche case, but they, and fighterbombers, fundamentally fulfill the goal of shooting things - I have a plethora of ways to shoot things, and dreads in particular give me the means of doing supercarrier damage without a lot of the hassles, but with drawbacks. It's about choice, no matter what I'm doing. This change doesn't give me much at all if I want to keep someone from getting back to a POS shield.

Great change, CCP.

-Now I can sit my carrier on a POS edge, rep it, and be even more immune to getting dropped on.
-If my fleet is bubble inside a tower, I can no longer run outside and cyno in reinforcements; I'll be dead long before I clear a 25km zone of hatred.
-Pretty much anything shooting/repping a pos short of dreads/triage is immune to being killed. Can't wait to have my towers reinforced EVERY SINGLE DAY.

By me

This does not even make sense. A long point on a super goes 30km before links and fighters nowadays dunk subcaps like crazy. You can still dunk on noobs in bombers or oracles or w/e. Please, feel free to sit your carrier on the edge of the pos shield and be "invulnerable" Lol

. A hic point is 24km? so even that should be fine to just light a cyno, have a hic jump in and mwd for 2seconds at a bad-guy shooting your pos in a titan or something ********. Your whole post makes no sense.

I was referring to cyno'ing in Vindicators to keep the carrier that is 1000-2000m away from the pos edge from getting in while you own it with dreads. Sure you have Loki's, but meh, they don't do the job as well. This mechanic creates more practical "risk-free" situations than it removes.

There's no use crying after every mistake, you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.
