No you dont understand, the actaul cyno doesn’t show up on your overview like a normal cyno does. Covert cynos are only Up for 60 seconds and DO NOT appear on overview.
So you CAN jump in on a station like normal, and only risk your cyno for a minute, or you CAN jump in through a deep safe and then warp your JF to a station for docking.
Why, elaborate? What about these changes makes them suicidal to light a cyno? Right now you’re just screaming about the sky falling. Care to put any details into your doom and gloom?
If you have a deeps safe, and you light a cyno, and warp to a station insta dock that you’ve pre set up, nobody is going to bump you out of dock range bud. They can wait all day, covert cynos aren’t visible.
Again, this seems hard for you to understand but this is 100% a net buff to moving JFs
Just out of curiosity, are you reducing the cycle time of cynos? Asking people to put their 300m recon or 2+ billion black ops (lol if CCP thought this was reasonable) ship at risk for 10 minutes at a time is going to seriously hurt small groups or solo players with capitals who might want to not have to gate them like a moron.
In fact, I foresee this wonderful change simply reducing capitals in the wrong places. Those of us in big alliances will still be able to move our super fleets just fine, those small groups with maybe a handful of capitals—priced out of ownership, but not from cost of the ship and it’s fittings, the cost to move the ship.
This is great addition but I have another one to BALANCE the cancer. With command destroyers in the 20’s to 30’s in a blops fleet constantly MJD’ing fleets around with, " 0 that’s ZERO consequence." Why not add a fatigue timer to that to all who participate in the MJD. 5 minutes block then a 30 minute fatigue and every time you MJD again all who participated in it increases it by 2 minutes. Because the scales are way out of balance and it’s not even strategic it’s just spammed to the point of cancer. This is the real problem, the symptom is putting cyno’s on everything to address a problem you can only fight if you turtle 100+ caps.
Net buff to JF, or net buff to CCPs wallet, because I tell you what, I am not paying for the skill injectors necessary (or the multi training certs) to get my JF logistic cyno alts into cov ops. Just not doing it, but for those of you who choose too, CCP is going to make a killing.
No you’re not. Covert ops frigates cost 30m and can fit a covert cyno.
You could even fit one with a couple webs, light your covert cyno off grid, jump your JF in, web it straight into warp to your favourite structure, if you didn’t want to lose the covert ship by lighting on a station/citadel that is. (But remember covert cynos don’t appear on overview unless on grid with them, so the chances of someone seeing you light at that exact moment is quite slim)
Whatever you’re smoking plz share. All this will succeed in doing is making logistics a nightmare for anyone outside a null block.
Yet you don’t see people asking for fuel requirements for covert cloaks or scan probes for stealth ships with some type of counterplay to balance things. All you needed was a 10 sec online timer on cyno jammers and you get the same effect without making life a PITA for anyone moving capitals anywhere outside major nullsec powerblocks.
This is just a silly misfire of a change that won’t affect veterans anywhere near as much as it will affect smaller groups.
I understand what you are saying and if CCP is trying to take a stab at the Imperium this isn’t essentially doing anything to them. Delve will make a few minor changes and exist much as it has continued to exist. The Power bloc isn’t going to change, it is just going to make it even harder for anyone to challenge them in their space. They are making it impossible for us to not band together into huge groups which will eventually suffer the same problem the chinese server did. Again they aren’t killing the Large Alliances, they are killing the little guy.
