Im sorry I didn’t want to hijack ur CSM thread. OFC ill ask the others too, even willing to remove my posts from here as this thread is meant to be a introduction and no discussion i guess
The issue is that minor instances have no counter for unlimited (size wise) and undelayed (instant) force projection. With the big cyno fleets having a scout in every system, no risk in cynoing (because reinforcement arrive immediately), they can take out the fun of whole low sec pockets by just being there afk.
A delay between cyno module activation (like MJD works) and actually cyno up, or for jumpdrives, or a time needed per light-year would give you the opportunity to shoot at the cyno, boosh it, or counter. Would be only one possible solution, the observatory thing you mentioned could well be another. But we need one.
