If you want to light a cyno you have to be in a fleet (only fleet members can jump to that cyno) and slower than 500 m/s. After you light the cyno your nominal speed becomes zero but you continue to drift and can also be bumped, but the cynosural field stays at the position, where you lit it. Further, you cannot dock in a station or structure and cannot eject, but you can self destruct. Indeed you can light a cyno after you initiated the self destruct sequence. This is used as a trick for extra safe traveling. The cyno needs several seconds until it appears on the universe map. If you light the cyno shortly before you self destruct and immediately jump to it, you can minimize the risk of being caught. But, be aware that if you jump to a cyno in the same moment as the cyno ship dies you still jump but don't land at the former spot of the cyno but at the sun – usually, a very undesirable result.

As of the September 2019 ~~releasem~~ cynos can only be fitted to [[Cruiser#Recon Ships|Force Recons]] and [[Battleship#Black_Ops|Black Ops Battleships]]. (Prior to this release, cynos could, and commonly were, fitted to any ship with enough CPU and cargo space.) Both Force Recons and Black Ops (except the [[Marshal]]) have 50% reduced cycle time for cynos (both normal and Covert), but Force Recons add an 80% fuel cost reduction on top of the reduced cycle time (reducing the duration to 5 minutes and only 50 Liquid Ozone).

Cynos are sometimes used for 'cyno vigils' to remember eve online players who died in real life. If other pilots are aware of such an occasion they don't attack those vigils out of piety.
