Just as a note here, How many of you have GPS on your phones?

Turn it on and you become a powerful beacon capable of bringing the most powerful of weapons down on you (if someone launched a nuke to your signal) or just finding your way home.

Cynos are just the signal. they are not the portal. beacons that say "Here I Am" nothing more.

It is the ability of the ship that can lock on to that signal. and the ability of the titan (and blackops for covert) to throw non- jump drive equipped ships at that signal.



GPS on your phone is merely a receiver... the only thing that transmits in GPS is the satellites... There is no signal transmitted from your phone or any other GPS receiver.

If you chose to transmit your co-ordinates then its your own stupid fault... GPS doesn't do jack.

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

oops you are right, its more like a laser designator, (or say a flare) but the parallel is easier to make even if its not entirely honest

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

The only thing thats wrong with Titans and their bridging prowess.... is the whine threads that pop up from the babies on the receiving end.

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

The portals are in essence unstable wormholes and as such should allow for travel in both directions.

Due to ships being heavily irradiated passing through the unstable anomaly, returning through a similar wormhole cannot be completed until all residual radiation has dissipated (6-12 hrs).
NB: The higher "precision/tuning" of Covert Portals almost eliminates the radiation build-up and allows jump back after only 15-30 minutes.

What will it do is:
- Allow for a hot-drop'ee to immediate counter-drop a Titan by using the very same portal .. bite the hand that slaps you! Built-in counter-counter drop prevention with the radiation gimmick.
- Allow insertion as well as extraction using portals, an invaluable tool for BO oriented groups.

Combine with tweaks to cyno jammers and cyno functionality (especially in LS) in general and BOb's your uncle

From my perspective - titan bridges are killing nullsec PVP.
And if some one want to know - i never died by a hot drop and yes - we are doing this .
