I'm not betting an Anaconda full of slaves but I will test with you when I get home from college in a few hours. My ingame name is the same as my forum name and I'm somewhere near Achenar - Liabeze, I think.
So apparently this isnt hacking.

If that's the case then it needs fixing IMHO, the base mass of the FDL is tiny compared to the clipper and 100t less than a Python.
I wouldn't mind seeing a purpose-built interdictor vessel capable of mass locking outside its own tonnage, but that shouldn't be the FDL. The FDL was built as a very toothy yacht.
It is odd, but if FD looked at the blackbox data (which is apparently very in depth) I would be willing to bet they'd notice anything they considered out of the ordinary, which would definitely include memory editing.

my jump range is like 12 ly in my fdl... if you are so strong in your belief you need to wager something...or you cannot stand by your claims.
Thus far I've been citing personal experience. I'm willing to test this with you for scientific purposes and I'll readily admit that I'm wrong if I turn out to be. If you're after a "wager" more than confirming the truth then I can find someone else in a Fer de Lance to test with. Any volunteers?
LOL U SK33RED BRO????
It sounds a little churlish to suddenly backtrack when given an offer to help test your theory, frankly.
FDL masslocks everything except conda and other FDL
period
there is NO way, the python could jump out in 10 seconds! NO legal way!
period
masslock confirmed
low jump in 10 seconds confirmed
high jump not confirmed. high jump always takes 15 seconds
something to see here imho!

I will wager a whole British grown onion* delivered anywhere within the bounds of the United Kingdom (excludes ROI and the Isle of Man) that your FDL can not masslock my Python
* I have only just planted my onions thus the winner will have to wait till the end of the season.

As far as I was aware, mass locking doesn't actually have anything to do with mass -
Its the value of how much it locks you, like for example if you try to escape a python and you are mass locked it says "Masslock factor 18" or something like that, most of us use that as the masslock number - i'll fill some of the ships i know, though I apologise if I get any wrong
Anaconda - 24 (or 22)
Dropship/FDL - 20
Python/Clipper/Asp/T9/T7/Orca - 18
Vulture/T6 - Something
Viper/Cobra/Adder/Hauler - Something
Eagle/Sidewinder - Something
It has nothing to do with mass, neither base or fitted it is a value assigned to a ship hull fairly arbitrarily, like if it had anything to do with mass the T9 would clearly have the highest.

Hey ill take it, but you need to stand by your claims you make on this place otherwise too much nonsense gets littered on the official forums, this is just another example of it, but yes, ill add him, and ill test his theory, I tested this multiple times.

Thankyou, some sense has appeared!

I'm standing by my personal experience, which is where I'm drawing my claims from. I know what I've seen and done. I'm offering to test with you, which means I'm currently standing by my claims. If I suddenly disappeared and was nowhere to be found then you might be able to argue that I wasn't.
You are welcome to my Onion!
So apparently i was naming and shaming, as the video has been redacted, I cant think of why since it is irrefutable proof that said person wasnt hacking....
If you want the video PM me, alternatively search the elite dangerous sub reddit for the video.

Looks like some good combat going on there - thanks for sharing the vid.
I always thought there was some kind of "dice roll" included with mass locking (as well as the previously mentioned tonnage, etc.) to figure out who wins in a potential lock situation. Do FDLs really have more mass than a Python ? I would have thought they were about the same

Base mass for FDL is 250, and 350 for the Python, meaning that if the mass lock mechanic works the way the devs explained it, the FDL should not be able to masslock the Python unless the former has been upgraded significantly and the latter was stripped down for trading.
As odd as it may seem, mass has nothing to do with masslock. Each ship has an arbirtrarily chosen masslock factor and can masslock all ships with the same or lower factor.
The Python has a masslock factor of 18, the same as the Clipper (and even the Type 9) btw.
The FdL has a masslock factor of 20, so it can masslock anything except Anacondas, which have a factor of 24.
What the Python did in the video should not be possible.
cool....moderators not obeying their own rules and redacting a normal, and legal combat video....FD stated its no hacking thus nothing to shame......
so is EVERY combat video to be redacted in future that shows names?!
really?!
<---- shakes head and moves along as it is as inconsistent mod behaviour as with their banhammer.....
