My corp lives in Providence and we're having the exact same issues. Some of our more junior pilots can't even rat in the belts because of the excessive Tracking Disruption.
The problem isn't 'oh, fit more tracking enchancers+computers and better ammo'. It's 'even if you're using the best ammo and maximum tracking enhancement, you're still boned'- it's broken, plain and simple. Pilots with max skills in gunnery and related support skills are having just as much trouble as newbs.
The only options around this issue, currently, are non-tracking based weapons- drones and missiles. All turreted ships are ineffective against tracking disruption NPCs to the point of being useless. |

There are a few popular theories in my corp.
The best one is that the insta-locking and extra strong EWAR was introduced to counter-act the poor AI. Now that it's been fixed, the fudge is now breaking things- dumb NPC with big guns is manageable. Clever(er) AI with big guns is now a nightmare.

OK, it's clear this is broken. CCP should roll back the changes to TD, or turn off NPC TD entirely- whatever that makes for a temporary fix in the meantime, or risk a growing, increasingly subset of annoyed and pissed off players.
Once they've applied a band-aid, they can sit down and re-think exactly what the purpose of NPC EWAR is and how much they want to have and how balanced it will be without leaving a bunch of players to languish with a primary source of income cut off to them. |

I live in Providence, ratting/anoms with turreted ships on Sansha rats is something I'm heavily invested in and is my primary source of income.
I haven't been able to even go near the belts for 2 weeks, now... this bug is really starting to hurt. |

I know the Devs said they were aware of the problem, but they put in a 'fix' that really wasn't a fix and maybe they just think it's no longer a problem now? Kind of a shame how little communication there is on a fairly significant and vocal issue. |

In my experience, the best way to get some attention is bitching in social media and getting some media coverage. The public relations department often is separate from the bug-fixing department and can have much greater pull over the priority of issues. |
