LOL! Are there any toys left in that pram?
I find it weird because I've been floating around the bubble on my second account recording some videos and often find myself just sitting in SC close to the star. I must have sat around for at least 4 hours in a few dozen systems with 0 interdictions. Was really worried about it but it hasn't happened to me once yet.
I'm not. It makes that huge of a difference?
I was going to make a snide remark when i remembered this happening to me last night.I was interdicted by one ship i saw on screen. On drop down i was met with 14, yes, 14 ships.Its magic land for npcs now.I've been interdicted by eagles and had an anaconda show up in its place.

Agree with OP 100%. The PP pop-up interdiction occurring in the last 5 to 10ls to a destination is very aggravating. Often times it's an Eagle or Sidewinder. Cannon fodder and offers no challenge but another contribution to the PP grind. Somewhere around the 100th interdiction in 100 trips the enjoyment wear's off.
Why not simply unpledge allegiance or fly in uncontested space? If you want the benefits of PP, isn't it simply fair to have to live with downsides associated with hotly contested space? I mean, isn't that the entire point of PP?

As for me personally, I unpledged months back. Really enjoyed the interdictions and constant action, but wanted to be more anonymous and to trade, bounty hunt and mine in peace. I may pledge again one day - but it would be to experience again exactly what you're experiencing, OP.

I've unpledged since my original post, yes. But what's the point of having powerplay if people are actually having to stay out of it in order to keep the rest of the game playable? I think Powerplay needs to be integrated into the rest of the game, not a separate minigame that makes the main game unplayable for its participants.
I really want to be part of Powerplay. But not if it means I can't get anything else done without constant harassment and interruption. It really needs a tweak.
Hey now... Don't jinks it for those of us that don't care for PP. We don't want to have to clean up your mess.
if we would get something like merits, but seriosuly, 300cr bounty guys constantly annoying one with constant interdictions is seriously beyond "fun", it's just a waste of time enlenghten whatever oyu just do granting you literally nothing. Give us at leats 10 credits for every of these guys.
it's especially weird when you are at Cubeos, which is quite far from the other faction and you still get those interdictions a LOT. What kind fo low security does even the capital system of a PP character has? Yet those weird systems liek sol have some "Space magic" which locks out everyone not having a "permission" How even?

Whoa now!
No thanks.
I like to play ED like it was Elite - that means keeping Board Games In Spaaaaace! as a separate and opt-in entity.
No. Just.... no.

Stay away from your HQ, expect trouble if you roam there.
Control systems can be messy as well.
This is how it has always been in PP. No Federation tears though.
The Devs seem to like us to be challenged, no biggee.
Or are your Imperial socks not big enough to handle it?
I am all for PP to relate more to the main game, that would be nice, yet not to reduce it to a "board game" as someone previously suggested. More a can opt in to do missions for, kinda like a merc.

Yesterday i went undermining.
I got intredicted at least 10 times in 2 hour playtime.
Isn't that a good thing when undermining? They are still worth 30 points, so I go out of my way to get interdicted... less interdicting I need to do.

+1. I tend to agree for PP, i'm inclined to def it soon as well.
I can just imagine my fury rising and rising as I come in to land my SRV only to be inderdicted in low orbit...
This is an annoyance with powerplay. You get interdicted by every other power and they're mother. When you are in human occupied space it seems. You can find areas which you're not classed as "hostile". But that takes time to discover and build up as a map. However, you have to pass through hostile areas to reach these spots.
It's ....... Quite annoying. Just like when your reading a really fascinating article and people keep interrupting you to ask stupid pointless questions.
Leave the facetiousness to me, keyboard teeth!
Sorry, couldn't resist when I saw your username and avatar.
So... if I understand, you're suggesting that Powerplay interdictions should be toned down a bit, and scaled with something like the system security level and/or Powerplay status (control system, contested, etc.).
Sounds like a reasonable suggestion.
