If you're doing blops and using this depot as a return cyno, you're going to get camped and blown up on the way home.

Unless you park eyes on it, but at that point just use a cyno alt instead.



the dedicated bridge would be there to check to see if the way is clear.



and you just killed your own argument.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

We need a deployable that produces a cyno. When doing blackops fleets, one of the tools required is a return cyno. an alt is currently required to return the fleet back to its reset state. If we had a deployable that costed roughly 20~ million and lasted an hour it would free up a charecter, and allow 2 or 3 people to do blackops without alt armys.

Yes you can bridge to a beacon.

That is why I am suggesting it, it would give lowsec people the same logistical ability as nullsec sov. It would only last an hour though.


One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly. ~ Boromir

There is a reason one does not simply fly into Nullsec. There is a reason one does not simply fly into sov space.

For CCP to allow us tools to be used to fly into somebody else's space, which they worked hard for without those tools, because we don't understand simple basic game mechanics/logistics? Wrong.

Like this aint a bad idea but i'd like take it like two step forward and like make supercaps a deployable also. imagine like you are like in a losing battle and one of your bro's like drops this deployable down that can like tank your mom and you just start getting capital reps from this baby as it deploys fightbombers.



it wouldn't be useful in combat, 2 minute activation time, easily killable. this would be for logistical purposes only.


Give it 5 minutes and THEN we have a good utility item. Gives an enemy LOTS of time to pop it so only the derpiest ones could get hot dropped by it. The size would be equal to 1 cycle worth of cyno fuel.

And we need a covert version too of course.

And the standard mechanic of it being a global beacon would still apply, but the beacon wouldn't show up until it was anchored and online.

The covert one would remain beaconless, require cyno theory 5 and anchoring 5, and would be scannable by combat probes.

Once the cyno anchors it has a short reinforce time of maybe 60 seconds to ensure someone wanting to use it can get through it. And besides, if it was able to survive the 5 minute anchor then 1 minute of guaranteed use wouldn't be a bad idea.

I would abuse the hell out of this FYI.
