Jump drives rely upon out-of-band [[FTL Communications|faster-than-light communications]] in order to calibrate and lock onto a [[Cynosural_field|cynosural field]]. Because of this, both the [[Cynosural_field|cynosural field]] generator and jumping pilot must be in the same [[Fleet|fleet]] when the [[Cynosural_field|cynosural field]] is generated. This information is broadcast only once, when the [[Cynosural_field|cynosural field]] is activated. Thus, pilots entering the [[Fleet|fleet]] after the field has been activated will not be able to lock onto the field instantly. However, it is possible to re-broadcast the cynosural field location, enabling later joining fleet members to lock onto it. By relying upon [[FTL_Communications|FTL communications]], only authorized pilots (those in your [[Fleet|fleet]]) will be able to jump to the same field, preventing an enemy capital [[Fleet|fleet]] from jumping to a friendly [[Cynosural_field|cynosural field]].

Cynosural fields can also be generated on a continuous basis by using a [[Cynosural Field Generator]]. Such generators require an [[Alliance|alliance]] to have appropriate [[Sovereignty|sovereignty]] to use. These generators operate on a constant basis, broadcasting the appropriate calibration information out-of-band via the [[Alliance|Alliance]] channel, allowing any pilot in that [[Alliance|alliance]] to lock onto the generator's field.
