Not only ships can generate cynos but you can jump to beacons too. I removed that part. Interested readers can check out the article about jump drives which needs a general update. |
Corrected small errors and not precise formulations regarding super capitals. |

'''Capital ships''' (Dreadnoughts, Carriers, Force Auxiliaries, Supercarriers ("Motherships"), Titans and Rorquals) are the largest player-piloted ships in EVE. Capitals can only operate outside of [[high-sec]] space. While they can use stargates to travel (except to high-sec), they can also jump between star systems using built-in [[Jump Drives and Cynosural Fields#Jump Drives|jump drives]]. | '''Capital ships''' (Dreadnoughts, Carriers, Force Auxiliaries, Supercarriers ("Motherships"), Titans and Rorquals) are the largest player-piloted ships in EVE.

Supercapital Construction Facilities in the Infrastructure Hub, thus building is restricted to [[Sovereignty|sov space]]. Only very few [[Wormhole_attributes|wormhole types]] allow super carriers to go through and none allow Titans. In practice this means you never encounter a supercapital in wormhole space. | |||
{{expansion past|It was once possible to build capital ships in highsec, so there are still a few that never jumped out of the system they were built in. If they ever do jump out, they will never be able to return, and while they're in highsec they are not allowed to be used for anything that gives the owner any kind of advantage compared to someone that does not own a high sec capital ship; during wars, they're not even allowed to undock. If the pilot breaks these rules, he or she will receive a temporary ban, and the capital ship will be moved to a station in a nearby low sec system. | {{expansion past|It was once possible to build capital ships in highsec, so there are still a few that never jumped out of the system they were built in.
