I used to call those jaw breakers on a stick.

Therein lies my personal issue with the current Thargoid war. I’m appreciative of the narrative, I’m appreciative of the way it’s boosted the community and reignited interest, but…
I mean, at this point I’ve done at least a hundred rescue runs, and they’re all the same.
- Take off from rescue ship in Tarach Tor, and head for target system.
- Get hyperdicted on final jump into target system.
- Make it into target system, get interdicted once or twice by scouts.
- Land, fill up, head back to Tarach Tor.
- Receive several “mission updates” because pirates are coming.
- Arrive in Tarach Tor, observe same few comments from NPC pirates, and avoid the couple of interdictions.
- Land at rescue ship, unload passengers and escape pods.
- Return to step one.
CZs are starting to have the same effect. At least there’s a wee bit more variance, and it’s great fun with a wing/friends.
But they really need to start spicing it up. Until then, I think I might return to exobio for a bit.
That's the annoying part of it all - interdiction after interdiction after interdiction.
That's what turns me off to it every time. It's not fun. It's not engaging. It's not challenging. It's just freaking annoying as hell.
Whenever FDev starts fiddling with things, the circus IS usually in town, yes.
I've been off doing other things since around the beginning of the year...its hard to too a LOT of the same thing over and over. Though, TBF, I tend to switch things up fairly regularly anyway...
Have you tried flying a ship that's not guaranteed to get away...
Annoying thing I just noticed: Since this last patch, every single time I hit the 2 key to bring up the alerts window it automatically puts me in the chat area so I have to hit enter and then switch windows.
Use to, it didn't do that. You had to click in the chat area and then type.
Is there any way to disable that?

Check in the settings at the end of the ribbon at the top of the social interface (in ship, not sure of that exists on foot but probably does)
Is it something to do with "focues the panel" in settings --> mode switches ?
Looked there and there's nothing.
I'll check that out later. I just logged out for lunch.
No, I don't that's it. I just tried "does nothing", "focuses the panel" and "shows the panel" but none of them auto-open the chat box. Hmm...
Hitting 2 for me just opens the chat window.
The problem there is... you insta-die. You either have a ship that can haul passengers and outrun them, or can fight them. You can't really have both. (Mind you, some of the AXI lads probably can kill a Hydra using an unshielded and unarmed Sidewinder, so...)
That's an interesting word, remember the German vaporous guy that was put in charge in Hell Boy II, The Golden Army? I think he used that word a couple of times.
I remember finding this annoying long ago. I usually never leave the Social menu on the chat tab though...any longer anyway
Found it.
Controls / Ship Controls / Misc / Mode Switches / Auto Focus on the Text Input Field
Why that was turned on is beyond me.

I've never liked the interdiction mechanic. It's just a simple little mini-game that should have been a temporary placeholder for something more interesting. Plus the way stuff spawns in to attack you is pretty lame.
But here we are, and now they are doubling down on it!
