I know a guy who can bust safespots using the directional scanner in the space of around 10 minutes... basically a master of the art using the most basic of tools available to him. It's not just a matter of training skills, it's an actual skill that he's developed over the course of time (nod to Cyther)

Now ability like that is rare; yet you expect to be able to do something like that in any ship, where everyone else who doesn't have the abilities Cyther has, have instead invested considerable time training in-game skills.

Let's see him bust an off grid safespot, or catch someone who is at a safespot and MWDing towards something at 3000m¦ while prealignet to warp as soon as anyone shows up, or someone who has a dozen safespots and simply moves between them every 5 minuites... In fact, once you have created 3-4 safespots that are far enough apart you can create hundreds more just using your original safespots as warp locations...

Your initial criticism was centered on the ability to make a quick easy ss, and not being able to counter that... the guy I described can counter that, everybody else trains for it. Making a deep safe isn't quick. Guys with their speed up can get busted; guys using several ss can get busted. The guys that are popping up new ss as they go and being highly active in their evasion techniques, probably don't even deserve to get caught, because they are putting in the effort to evade you properly.

It's not always about finding them at their ss, so much as occasionally creating the right conditions for them to come to you. If all this angst is for the benefit of two interceptors who harrass your haulers, or a small strike group, try getting creative and finding ways to make them engage rather than fruitlessly wasting the time of your corpmates and allies hunting them. If it's an entire fleet you can't get to come out and play..... who the hell are you fighting?
