Is chain belt ratting still working? Frigates seems to just leave the belt, not call for backup as they used to.

Chaining works, I am 100% certain. Try marking structure of spawns you want to keep, that way you wont accidentally kill them when you, by chance, warp in on a spawn that is not yet fully respawned since you last killed the battleships. (You would see the frigates/cruisers and 1 battle ship, but really 1 or 2 other battle ships will respawn with that. They just respawn in the order they were killed in).

It works.

Not as before but it's still the only sane thing to do.

I've tested it. I've had this discussion in local so many time it's silly.

the only sane thing to do is to kill all rats and wait for hauler or commander spawn.

Alot of people dont understand the patch notes. You can still chain the belts for battleship rats, but what has happened now is the same rat wont come back. They continue threw there cycle of different battleships, until they reset to the top and start again. So you wont always have the good bountie battleship but you can chain them all to battleships.
