The people that are not completely terrible are very few and are usually easily identifiable. Every last one of them is a smallgang/solo player.
I can deal with terrible, its stupid that bothers mr.
This is such a huge and impactful change. I remember when we "joined" FA briefly. Referring to a simple jump bridge map, we could span half the galaxy in under 5 minutes (with a fast frigate) just casually piloting to jump bridge 1 --> jump bridge 2 etc. Now the galaxy is actually a much bigger place and geographic strategy is closer to actually meaning something.
/edit - If you trigger 3 timers that are fairly distant from each other with the end goal of attacking one of them, the owners actually have to do some fairly non-trivial preparation if they want to defend any or all of the 3. I don't see how this could be interpreted as anything but a step in the right direction.
My only complaints are this kinda fucking new bros pod ex ing to where ever they're deployed, and the fact that null sec logisitics people are now going to be suicide watch full time. I do look forward to killing caps in gate camps though.

Needed to get taken out back and shot. It's simply not good for the game with current and increasing levels of Titan proliferation. It's done enough to hurt roaming gangs already.
Cynojammed systems aren't going to really be effective now if you can cyno your caps in next door and jump them on in. Should be a significant detriment to people trying to rat in supers/carriers thinking cynojammed systems make them safe.

Either escort them, have a training corp, or just have them chance it in a noobship, most of the time they will get through.
Honestly, traveling in 0.0 really isn't that insanely dangerous. Well, getting all your stuff somewhere could be - but just getting yourself? Basic precautions for any system with people in it, otherwise you're good. I flew all over Southern null sec before I went back to bittervetting it and winning Eve - I rarely saw anyone and the few busy places mostly were hiding from my fearsome CovOps frigate.

If a ship cannot be locked due to it's position within a forcefield, it should be protected by said forcefield. Such a ship can only be legitimately bumped out of the forcefield with proper access rights to enter the forcefield.
