In order to jump, a jump drive must first lock onto a cynosural field, or "cyno", at its destination. These fields can be produced either by the Cynosural Field Generator modules, or the [[POS_Structures#Cynosural_Generator_Array|Cynosural Generator Array]], which can be anchored at a [[POS]]. The module can only generate a cynosural field in systems with a [[System_Security|security]] of 0.4 or below (low-sec or null-sec), and the array can only be anchored in sovereign nullsec. If a ship can't use a stargate, it cannot enter high security space. It is also impossible to produce a cynosural field in wormhole space.

The Field Generator module requires the {{sk|Cynosural Field Theory|icon=yes}} skill to operate. For a ship to activate the module, it must have 500 units (200 m<sup>3</sup>) of liquid ozone in its cargohold, which is consumed when the module is activated. The amount of fuel required to "light a cyno" is reduced by 10% for every level of {{sk|Cynosural Field Theory|icon=yes}} the user has. The cynosural field stays active for 10 minutes, during which time the ship generating the field is unable to move, dock, or eject its pilot. It's dangerous enough to be immobile in lowsec, but it gets worse: when the cyno is active, it appears on the system overview, so that anybody in the system can warp to its location. As a result, most ships that light a cyno are expendable frigates. The Tech 2 [[Cruiser#Recon Ships|Force Recon]] cruisers get an 80% reduction to the cost of lighting a cyno, and are only rendered immobile for 5 minutes, but they're expensive ships for lighting a cyno.

The cynosural field generated by the Cynosural Generator Array is always active. The array must be anchored at a starbase by a member of the alliance that has claimed sovereignty over the system, and has also installed the Cynosural Navigation upgrade. Remember that students of Eve University are forbidden to PvE in sovereign nullsec.
