==Cynosural Field Types==

~~Cynosural Fields come in three varieties: normal or so-called~~ "~~hard~~" ~~cynos~~, ~~covert cynos~~, ~~and industrial cynos~~.

''Cynosure'' (pronounced like "sigh no sure") is a little-used word outside of EVE. It means a guide, or a person or thing that draws attention towards itself. It originates in the ancient Greek name for the North Star, making it a very appropriate term for the cynosural fields of New Eden.

The three types differ in important ways in their equipment requirements, in their fuel use, and in the ships which they can transport.

===Normal Cynosural Fields===

''Cynosure'' (pronounced like "sigh no sure") is a little-used word outside of EVE. It means a guide, or a person or thing that draws attention towards itself. It was once the name of the North Star, making it a very appropriate name to give to the cynosural fields of New Eden.

Ships with a jump drive can only jump to cynosural fields or beacons. Cynosural beacons are provided by a player-deployed navigational structure, the [[Navigation_structures#Pharolux_Cyno_Beacon|Pharolux Cyno Beacon]] (colloquially simply called beacon or cyno beacon). Cynosural fields are generated or "lit" by the ship module Cynosural Field Generator I. Cynosural fields and their generators are colloquially abbreviated as "cyno". A cynosural field can be seen on the overview from any place in the system and is "warpable". Further, it appears on the universe map.

The Cynosural Field Generator module requires the skill {{sk|Cynosural Field Theory|icon=yes}} at level one to be fitted. Its base activation time is ten minutes and it has a base consumption of 500 Liquid Ozone per cycle. As the Liquid Ozone consumption is reduced by 10% per level of Cynosural Field Theory, the maximum consumption is actually 450 Liquid Ozone per cycle, and the minimum consumption is thus 250.
