What is the purpose of having a cyno that lasts 10 minutes. A covery cyno is 40 seconds yet a regular cyno is 10 MINUTES. Can we change the length to something reasonable here, like 5 minutes. |

So that using a regular cyno has potential consequences?
You could also always, you know, use a ship with a bonus that reduces cyno time. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

Recons have 5 minute standard cynos just like you want. And as an added perk they use less liquid ozone. So use recons for all your cyno needs. |

The ten minute cyno is quite stupid. And everyone says "hurr hurr" htfu.
I personally use a 2 minute cyno alt. I light the cyno alt and immediately set self destruct. I then cyno in my cap fleet. I store 10 cyno fitted frigs in 1 of my carriers and use them as needed.
Do yourself a favor and get the bpo for frigs and cyno and bulk make your own. 1. The cost is nothing 2. You effectively need the 10 minute cyno.
A hostile system cyno entry is done differently but the method here is faster then "hurr hurr" htfu noob. |

So what if I want to have a ship jumping back and forth between two systems? Should I now be forced to use even more fuel in order to keep a cyno up? Malcanis for CSM 8 Module activation timers are buggy - CCP please fix |

It has nothing to do with isk. .....
My 2 minute cyno (t1 cyno) is faster and cheaper than a force recon.... So....hurr hurr.....
It has nothing to do with isk... It's about simply having the stupid cyno ship+cyno+fuel where you need it when u need it.
I learned by moving a carrier across 5 hostile regions and running out of liquid ozone... Having to use an iteron alt through nullsec to refuel ozone and isotopes.

1. Easier to light: If you there is no danger in the cyno length being up so long, like being in your own sov, then there is no issue with it and you can get things moved a lot quicker.
2. Good for multiple "waves" of ships: If you need to move a lot of people around and can't do it all at once, but still around the same time, a normal cyno works well. I accidentally my assets, is this bad?-á |

Hey. Hey you. Look at the hull bonus on recons. You are welcome. |

Stop being so cheap. Personally I have 10 rapiers in my carriers. Just pop one out, self destruct, and light a cyno in that. You'll save money on the ozone. - |

Light Cyno > Jump to Cyno > Logoff Cyno alt.
Takes about 45 seconds if I'm on the ball (I'm usually not). This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

This. Also this is why current cyno mechanics are stupid. When was the last time you saw someone stupid enough to sit on the cyno for 10 minutes? |

When it was a Carrier lighting the Cyno to call in backup. When it was a HIC lighting the Cyno to call in backup. When it was a Commandship lighting the Cyno to call in backup.
The "unnecessary and annoying" 10 minute cyno timer exists for the same reason the "unnecessary and annoying" 1 minute online timer for POS guns exists. Because it's actually important sometimes, and the importance of those times outweighs the very minor annoyance of all other times. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Even more stupid than suggesting a player sits on their main character and *does absolutely nothing* for 10 minutes? |

Simple fix to that- change cynos only fittable on caps and BLOPS. Sitting on the cyno for 10 minutes is no longer boring.
Also, disable jumping to cynos from hisec.
See? Life can be worth living.

Making it so it's not a 'disposable' alt does not make it 'main character only', it simply means that the character should have to have a decent investment, thus be of a clone value worth protecting. Rather than less than the free clone in SP, so who cares if they get podded even. |

I would prefer a tech II cyno. Needs cyno theory V... Activates for 5 min... So that way on a recon it only lasts 2 min 30 seconds... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

To sell more Falcons. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.-á-á-á-á - Oscar Wilde |

I like this idea. It might also encourage more BLOPs. |

It would be really funny if cyno's worked both ways.
Blob 1: "Incoming cyno!" Blob 2 "Aha! Ambush!" Blob 1: "Lock jump drives on enemy cyno!" Blob 2:" Huh? Where did they all go?" Blob 1: "Ah so this is where they've been hiding their shipyard... open fire!" Blob 2: "Fuuuuuuuuuuu..." Live Events are neither. |
