Existing Mechanics

Cynosaural Beacons
	Activating a Cynosaural Beacon prevents targetting.
	When a Jump Bridge is opened to a Cynosaural Beacon, a Cynosaural Trace is generated.
	Relighting a Cyno with an existing Cynosaural Trace will not create a new Cynosaural Trace.
	Whenever a ship bridges to a Cynosaural Beacon, Cynosaural Trace gains Volatility.
	Whenever a Cynosaural Trace reaches maximum Volatility, a Cynosaural Flare is generated.
	A Cynosaural Flare will Disrupt the Cynosaural Beacon it originated from.
	A Cynosaural Flare can be bridged to by any pilot who has Acquired the Cynosaural Trace.
	Bridges can not be initiated by pilots with combat timers.

	Passengers who are in the process of Bridging to a Cynosaural Beacon when it is Disrupted are returned to their origin.
	50% of the Fuel Cost of Passengers returning to thier origin is refunded.

	Four Cynosaural Field Generator Types
		Industrial Cyno
			Base cycle time is 8 minutes
			500% Maximum Volatility Bonus
			Applies "High Energy Conduit Residue" status effect for 60 minutes
				Shield can not exceed 0.
				Can not recieve logi.
				Can not cloak.
				400% Sig Radius.
			High Energy Conduit Residue status effect elapses 2 times faster while Tethered
			High Energy Conduit Residue status effect elapses 4 times faster while docked at a fully powered station
		Combat Cyno
			Base cycle time is 5 minutes
			120 Second Combat Timer
		Black Ops Cyno
			Base cycle time is 12 minutes
			-60% Jump Range.
			Passenger must be cloaked to take Black Ops Bridge
			Activating cyno does not break cloak
			Cynosaural Trace is not visible until it has an effective radius of 1 LY (Increased by skills)
			Pilots who Bridge to a Covert Cynosaural Beacon while cloaked, do not lose cloak.
			Pilots who Bridge to a Covert Cynosaural Beacon while cloaked do not appear in local until
				They warp
				They decloak
				Their cloak stabalizes
		Expeditionary Cyno
			Base Cycle time is 2 minutes.
			Requires Lighting pilot to be in Siege.
			Fuel Requirements of Bridge are provided by Lighting pilot.
			-60% Jump Range.

		New Skill: Cynosaural Tolerance - Jump Fatigue and Jump Activation incurred from the first Combat Bridge does not take effect for 120 Seconds
			Additional levels in this skill increase the number of consecutive Combat Bridges before Jump Fatigue takes effect

	Sub Cap Bridging
		Black Ops Battle Ships can bridge to Covert Cyno
		Porpoise can bridge to Expeditionary Cyno. 200% penalty to Fuel Cost for non Industrial Hulls
		Force Recon can bridge to Expeditionary Cyno
		Bowhead can bridge to Industrial Cyno. Only the contents of its Maintainence Bay

		Subcapital Ships which initiate a bridge can only take a limited number of ships with them.
		The limit is determined by the total fuel cost to initiate the Bridge.

		To get an approximate sense of what a bridge group might look like imagine a point system
		Each hull size has an assigned value which is summed to find the gangs size
			Frigates	- 2
			Destroyers	- 2
			Hauler		- 2
			Barge		- 3
			Exhumer		- 4
			Cruiser		- 4
			B Crusier	- 5
			B Ship		- 8
			A Blops BS could bring approximately 20 points worth of ships for the ride
			A Porpoise could bring approximately 15 points worth of ships for the ride (non industrials are doubled so no BSs)
			A Force Recon could bring approximately 12 points worth of ships for the ride

	Bowhead Changes
		Bowhead's may fit and initiate Jump to Industrial Cynos
		The Bowhead may transfer its Maintainence Bay to the Maintainence Bay of the Lighting pilot if possible.
		The Bridging and Lighting Bowhead each get 50% of the Jump Fatigue when transferring Maintainence Bays.

	Propoise Changes
		-10% Jump Fatigue when Bridging per skill level of Industrial Command Ships
		While in Siege, the Porpoise may initiate a Bridge to an Expeditionary Cyno
		At the end of the Siege cycle, the Bridge will activate
		Fuel Consumption for Bridging is doubled for non-industrial hulls

	Force Recon Changes
		-5% Jump Fatigue when Bridging per skill level of Recon Ships
		Force Recon ships may initiate a Bridge to an Expeditionary Cyno

	Notes
		All cynos now have a limit to the amount of mass they can move in a given amount of time.
		Cynoing has three stages
			Beacon is lit
			Bridging begins
			Bridge is overwhelmed and a Flare occurs
		Industrial Cyno is the intended method for moving any large mass of ships and cargo.
		Industrial Cynos do not have hull restrictions, however, bonuses encourage certain ships.
		Industrial Cynos can carry any ship. It just won't be combat ready upon arrival.
		Combat Cyno is the intended method to allow a force to rapidly move from its staging area to the fight.
		Combat Cynos have far more restrictive threshholds on Volatility, which will interrupt the bridging process.
		However, reacquiring the resulting Flare allows bridging to continue unrestricted, with the added risk of getting counter dropped.
		Black Ops Cynos have been redesigned to force commitment and to prevent camping tackle from always guaranteeing a kill.
		It is still completely poosible for a gank to appear from nowhere as it is currently.
		But the order in which the cyno occurs and the tackle is landed is now reversed, giving prey a chance to flee or fight tackle like a normal engagement
		It also means that some black ops drops will be wasted from poor planning or impatience
		Expeditionary cynos are in someways like a reverse Cyno.
		They allow a capital to "recall" its expeditionary forces back to itself.
		This is designed to give roaming small gangs organized around a force recon ship to maraud into enemy territory
		It also means moving and Sieging caps several systems away from the front line to provide the umbrella for these gangs to operate under
		It further expands the support role and "floating citadel" role of Captial ships
		And it get capitals undocked for engagements that aren't as rare and one sided, even with relative safety of a few lightyears.
		This operational range and ability to recall your small gangs also increases the strategy behind geography when in contested space.
		It requires the coordination to secure, and hold a beachhead where caps can safely deploy
		Finally, multiple force recons/porpoises can recall to the same cyno. It just all contributes to the same Trace.

	Trace Mechanics
		Cynosaural Traces have a max Voltaility. Affected by factors on the Lighting pilot such as
			Role Bonuses
			Hull Bonuses
			Skills
			Modules
			Rigs
		Bridges adds an amount of volatility to a Trace. Affected by factors on the Passenger pilot such as
			Role Bonuses
			Hull Bonuses
			Skills
			Modules
			Rigs
		Traces have a visibility which determines the number of LYs at which a Bridging pilot can detect the Trace
		Visibility increases as percent of max Volatility increases
		Bridging pilots may Acquire a Trace if they are within its visibility range
		Acquiring a Trace is required to Bridge to its corresponding Flare
		Pilots may begin acquiring a visible trace before a Flare occurs in order to Bridge instantly in the event of a Flare
		When a Flare occurs, the Trace is visible at maximum range regardless of skills
		Time required to acquire a Trace is determined by the skills of the Bridging pilot.

		Covert Cynosaural Traces are visible system wide after a Flare occurs
		Covert Cynosaural Traces have a large bonus to decrease the range at which they are visible
		Covert Cynosaural Beacons have considerably reduced maximum Volatility
		Black Ops Battleships have a bonus to the range and speed at which they can lock onto a Cynosaural Trace.
