There was a thread a couple of weeks ago about EVE being to "small". Eventually a Dev chimed and said basically its not the number of systems in Eve but the real issue is how fast s**t can move. JBs, Cyno beacons, jump ranges, and even wormhole shortcuts have contributed to the "smallness" of EVE. A bunch of **** was bandied about like slowing warp speeds and making jumps further, yada yada. Eventually it turned to it being to easy to move capital ships around, which had a bunch of varied effects on the game.
It got my gears going and had me along this train of thought: Cynos working like the end of an unstable wormhole. The Cyno would be subject to the amount of mass jumping to it. This would limit the amount of ships either jumping or being bridged at one time. The point is to make a capital fleet need a lot more guys to kick in someones door and initially limit the size of the hot dropping blob.
It would work like this. If a cyno generator was put on the usual disposable Kestrel it would only be able to create a wormhole end that could only support the mass 1 capital ship. And just like a wormhole it would immediately collapse after the mass limit had been expended, allowing your Kestrel (if your fast enough before you get ganked) to move like nothing happened and dock or warp off.
Ships designed specifically (recons) for cynos would be able to create much larger wormholes for more ships (but not a whole fleet of 400 caps to 1 cyno) to jump through. And as long as the mass limit was expended it would collapse and the ship would be free to do anything. If all the mass wasn't used up then the ship would have to wait for a period of time based on the amount of remaining mass and skills.
Not sure what would accomplish, but I think it'd be cool.

I fully support this idea.

Best idea that's been suggested in a while. Supported.
Originally by: CCP Wrangler EVE isn't designed to just look like a cold, dark and harsh world, it's designed to be a cold, dark and harsh world.
