hey all.

since the recent changes it seems the captchas have become a lot more aggressive. until now its been rare that id see something like that but now i get them regularly and even have a persistent captcha immediately after character selection which never goes away at this point.

it wasnt so bad when they appeared if i was just sitting idle. now its happening four, five or more times in a sitting, during times of higher activity, even right in the middle of battle. while perhaps a bug and perhaps not, it would be great if they could be toned down a little. ^_^

It is not a bug, it prevents spy-bots. If you experience this issue, it means you're spending way too much time idling in the game. If you want to do that, you should stay docked to a single station. Your radar visibility will be temporarily limited in that sector, but your account won't be flagged.

If you open a support ticket, you can request to have your captcha state reduced to normal. However, if you then continue to idle for long periods of time, the captcha state will appear again, and it won't be removed a second time.

For the moment, I've de-flagged your account; but please be aware of the above, in the future.
