LO consumption?
Why move Jump Freighters to a dedicated cyno platform? Whats the logic if any?
We do know :ccp: wantâs to reduce the number of platforms for regular cyno usage.
The new prefered norm, based on information available, will probably be a heavy tank Falcon.
(Even with useless ECMâŚ) That is a platform that is, was, capable of supporting covops, capitals and jfâs.
The new update splits jump freighters out from this, making it a snowflake in the capital world; thereby limiting play. JumpFreighters are 9B assets, usage is limited enough. The few capital ops we use JFâs on is a nice addition to the day to day operations, something that will stop with these changes.
Please allow for more than the industrials for JumpFreighter cyno platform. If a Super/Titan can jump to a cyno, there is hardly any reason why a JumpFreighter should not be able to do the same.

This is a decent point, a lot of people that I know use rorquals for logistical purposes and cheap JFâs

I am of the belief that these changes are an attempt to limit capital lighting a cyno when they are tackled. That should have been the change. Capitals and up cannot light a Cyno. A rather simple fix that most players would have said ok to.
Instead you limit cynos to two ship classes that make no sense.
You then create a new type of cyno that will scream âloot pinata incomingâ. Was there any thought put into these changes? Any at all?

Back to the good old days of freighter convoysâŚ
A certain part of me wants to laugh, since freighter convoys are the pain null has kept laughing and telling highsec that itâs good for the game to have to do freighter escort dutiesâŚ
But the rest of me can understand the pain involved in it.
Exactly. CCP needs to address this âissueâ that they are perceiving directly instead of indirectly meandering around it through a few whitelisted ships that can light cynos. Like Bo said, just disallow cynos to be fitted to capital ships, and we wouldnt need all this 3 cyno variations on select 2-3 ship types BS.

Adding a 3rd cyno only T1 indy ships can use for jump freighters is laughable and does not solve the problem.
Still requires yet another dedicated and highly skilled Omega alt just to run an effing cyno for capital ship logistics? Carriers logistics: Slow-boating a single recon ship around the universe. Not good. Fail sauce.
I refuse to carry another Omega account that acts as nothing more than a cynosural field for captial ships.
Can I get free skill extractorâs for my cyno alts? Or rather, a refund on the hundreds, maybe thousands of US dollars Iâve invested into this game over a ten year period? Biomass my characters pls.
Why this game continually gets more and more constrictive is beyond me. This may be the final bridge too far (almost literally).
10 years of dedication to this game and this is what veteran players getâŚ
You need an omega to use a cyno anyway.
Industrials take barely any SP to use, are cheap as â â â â , and easy to tank if you want to bother.

indy ships donât require high skills what the hell are you talking about?
Why would that be all the account is used for? There are two other slots, ya know?
T1 indyâs take very little (i tihnk included in new toon) skills.
Do I not understand this correctly? Only jump freighters can jump to the indy ship cyno. Not other capital ships.
I think you have a great point.
Now the issue would be a Titan bridging.
People would complain that it still wouldnât be fair bridging in even more cyno capable ships.
CCP, this is freaking absurd. You give us less than a month noticed on a massive change to the way in game logistics will work. A change that affects everyone from the small corps to the massive blocks. A change that required the immediate purchase of multi-pilot certs and/or large skill injectors to retool cyno alts, 60 ish day requirement now, to be able to keep logistics networks functioning and then back track⌠wasting 12+ day of training on alts that no longer need the skills YOU said they would need. On top of this the only glimmer of light these changes provided jump freighter pilots was the ability to supply cyno jammed system via the covert cyno field generator which you just squashed. You have literally wasted half a month of hundreds if not thousands of pilots skill training ques because you brain stormed into the â â â â â â â ether. Get your â â â â together.

i know i was asking Savrus what the hell he was on about an indy requiring a highly skilled pilot

That is correct. Only JF can jump to this new cyno typeâŚ
So, JF on one account⌠On account two a dread pilot, or triage, or hunter, or whatever, in addition to cyno toon⌠Or something along those lines.
Lol, poor JF pilots ⌠feel the CCP middle finger, on both hands.

Some people already injected to cov cynos for jfsâŚ
Youâve received many constructive criticism. No need for more.
I disagree with these changes. There are other ways to handle these problems.

I have 2 JFs. I have no problem with this change. I already used clownshoe cynos anyway.
