Talk:Tips and Tricks

Proposed change

"If you join a 0.0 or lowsec corporation that has capital fleets/pilots (most corps do these days), try to train a new character as a cyno pilot asap (not your main as you'll want it to be expendable). This will mean your cap-ship flying corp mates will love you, and this love goes a long long way. The grateful cap ship pilot will often ask you if want something moved with the cap ship (maybe a ship, a small can or whatever) and this can be very helpful, especially if you can't fly/own a cap ship yourself. After a while people will be asking you for cynos and offering to move stuff all over EVE for you. In my experience "being the cyno guy" means getting lots of offers of help in return, and everyone wins."

This advice is dead wrong and will get a lot of uni grads rejected by corps they are looking to join. Corps as a matter of policy do not invite new players who have trained cyno because of the awox-hotdrop risk. Nobody should trust a new recruit with being allowed to cyno capitals around, and any corp that does is begging to lose their caps in a spectacular way. Unless someone has a capship or is openly training towards being able to do hotdrops in hostile space using a bomber, recon, or tech 3, being able to cyno is frequently more of a liability than an asset for recruitment IMHO.
