| + | Whenever possible, do NOT jump to a Pharolux Cyno Beacon (the anchored upwell structure - aka a 'cyno beacon'). They are always anchored far from the safety of a tetherable structure, and you will be very vulnerable when warping off. Cyno beacons are often camped and many, many unwary capital pilots have died jumping to anchored beacons. To make matters worse, some //unscrupulous// groups anchor cyno-beacons on common routes and bubble-spam them to catch and kill | ||

| + | With that in mind, it is HIGHLY recommended to add the cyno-character to your watchlist, and jump via right-clicking on the name, then clicking 'Jump to Member'. This avoids the mistake-prone capacitor-menu's Jump-To sub-menu - this menu has all available cyno-beacons in range. If you are lighting a cyno for others - typing 'CCCC' in fleet-chat is a common way to identify yourself as a cyno. | ||
