Instead of blaming your intended prey, maybe you need better hunting skills?

From someone who is living in wormhole space for more than 10 years, rarely have I seen a post this accurate. Thank you!
The filament changes are amazing. This is finally something that will genuinely benefit the health of the wormhole ecosystem. Thank you very much
Please, make the blinking no skill training icon stop blinking! (And allow the smaller NEOCOM). It is maddening! (And the inability to turn it off is just wrong).
Bummer about the filaments in Wormhole space, but I didnāt think theyād work there anyway and never got around to trying. But love filaments, one of the best ideas for sure, definitely spices things up.
Then why has the HAC meta been completely stagnant for half a decade now?

What do hunting skills have to do with anything? Whereās a blame? I simply said that you have to do nothing else but wear your timer down and then you can peace out. Not having filaments to do that would require actual effort from people like finding wormholes, finding uncamped gates, finding wormholes in different systems, logging off after timers are over, burning around. Filaments remove all of this and make it too easy to get in and out. Casualization that removes consequences for actions.
You seemed to be saying it is unfair that after 15 minutes your opponent(s) can filament away.
Iām saying that if you canāt locate, engage, and destroy your target in 15 minutes the fault isnāt because of the filaments.
Can I just say, the recent introduction of an annoying warning sign that you are not training in skills is highly distracting when you are an alpha-state pilot.
Is there any way of turning it off?
of course cause constant rewarping and making new safes doesnt existā¦ oh w8 it does
Thatās my point.
Your prey can evade you for 15 minutes. If you canāt track them down and re-engage in that time itās not the fault of the filaments.
Might as well just keep the gates perpetually locked too after an engagementā¦they might make a dash for the gate and get out.
Turn on āHideā for the neocom. But thatās a work around.

I found a workaround.
If you happen to have a backup of your core_user_.dat that had the smaller neocom width you can just restore it.
Those large annoying icons on neocom are gone for now!

Sure, and it still allows a hostile gang to safe-log after their aggression timers drop. Itās not like anyone needs to be in-game to coordinate the re-log, and if they brought their fleet in without having a single cloaky scanner-alt safed up in system, they deserve all the things that await people foolish enough to use numbers instead of letters 
if they make a dash for the gate you can bouble it and tackle them. If they keep rewarping they are basicli safe there is no way to probe them on every point and warp there in time to reengage.
ERGO IF YOU ARE NOT TOTAL NOOB YOU CAN ESCAPE WHIT 0 THREAT

SAFE LOG take 30s you can cath them in that time. Needlejack take exactli 0 second.
Easiest solution whud be make the NEEDLE JACK TRACE warpable whit 30s timer to jump that break if somebody engage
That whud force people to fight or leave other dangerous ways

Safe log can be done by each of them, individually. Needlejacks need everyone to gather back up, and if some of them are slow, you can catch the others real easy.
dude most of the people are not stupidā¦ If your argument is people are dumb then no some people are dumb but mostli they all move together and fast.
A) Dude, most people are complete idiots.
B) There are always people whoāll have crappier nav skills, or start moving before the next fleet warp, and end up aligning slowly. Over multiple fleet warps, those guys either slow everyone else down, or they get left behind as soon as they arenāt out of warp when the next fleet warp hits. Iād say ādonāt be stupidā about that, but see (A).
Had bad information. This change is garbage.
Ice belts not despawning again. No ice in belt, signature still there. Rip
