You have pledged to power, haven't you?
So avoid interdiction, evade interdiction or just do not fight. Just simply run and deliver Your cargo.
The big Question is ...
Where is the Reaction of all this from Frontier????

A good laugh at the office?
Breaking my rule just this once
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Disagreed with one, one of my sentences (allegedly)
and as a result, I'm a troll.
I rest my case.
Thanks for proving my point

Noone at the office- Hollidays in the UK: 30 May - Mon - Spring Bank Holiday - National
To be honest, with not knowing what's a bug, what's a feature and what the intent of the devs are now (is ED to be Dark Souls in space? Was that always the intent? etc.), I've docked up my Viper and put my feet up for the time being. I've lost assets to bugs before, and given the length of time it takes to earn them in ED I don't feel like losing them again until things are ironed out or confirmed to be working as intended. For those concerned about the way things stand at the moment, I'd recommend doing what Smaste suggested - take a break and come back when everything's clarified.

It's a bank holiday in UK this Monday. No one is at the office.
I voted Other. Reason: They're not too hard. They're not too easy. They're not just right. As far as I can comprehend, they're simply bugged.

the game isnt supposed to be that way. braben wanted this game tough yes. he also wanted it to be the elite he couldnt make in 1984. they didnt give you a combat ship in that and you couldnt change ships. he gave you the cobra mk iii a multipurpose trader - you could trade but only small amounts. you could fight with it but had to improve the weapons to take on the real baddies and thargoids. if someone builds a pure trader then yes they also decided they dont want combat and will run. but i dont have a bad ship as you say. being a trader doesnt mean you have to carry the max cargo capacity of your ship before anything else. big traders dont go to the dangerous places.
by your logic those places can have NO trade and the galaxy sorry to say this cant work like that. somebody has to do the trade in the dangerous places the big trade ships dont go. thats me and others like me. without me those places dwindle because they cant support themselves in real life. admittedly the devs wont make that happen both because they understand my ship config and the role i play and because they wont start simulating the death of a an anarchy or low sec system with dwindling population and abandoned planets and eventually a closed dead station because they cant get essential supplies. and even the high security places the traders get interdicted now and that shouldnt happen at all. else there would only BE ships like mine not unarmed mass cargo haulers. nobody would build a ship nobody is buying because nowhere is safe enough to risk it.
also, for me, a game with no combat is no fun as much as always dying would be. but the way i play in my asp i dont go to conflict zones or hasrez or places fit for pure combat builds. thats part of the compromise. my ship is good for what i need it to do or would be if the superweapons didnt exist.

Smaller ships have often been referred to as interceptors. Are you complaining because they're finally doing their job and have a use in the game?
Then you need to change up your ship, or how you fit it, or how you fly. You're doing one or all of these three things in such a manner that you're making the game harder for yourself, it has nothing to do with the AI.
NPC interdictions haven't changed all that much. I just came back into the bubble in an unarmed exploration ship last night and took my merry time running around selling data to get some of the new permits. I got interdicted twice and was in no way at risk of losing my unarmed, undefended ship with over 60 mil in data on board.
Oh, and I'm still pledged in PowerPlay.
Hyperbole is hyperbole. You're doing things to go out of your way and attract NPC's, regardless of whether you know what you're doing wrong or not.

This whole thing just goes round in circles now. Those who suffer the most are literally being told to "just play the game and go away"
Those who love combat over all else are trolling the rest of the community for not wanting to play the same game as them.
Those who find the game unplayable are trolling the hardcore for destroying the game.
This is most certainly not the great community or great game I heard about...that was a complete fabrication as far as I can see but I'll take you guys at yer word if yer all saying the circumstances are exceptional. Gotta say though that on the eve of a long bank holiday weekend, the timing couldn't have been worse if they tried.
Anyway...I'm off back to my old game. Cheers fer the paltry 2 weeks of fun but it's well and truly over now.
Hope you guys get the game sorted but there's way too much toxicity in here so I'm gonna take my leave right now before it gets worse...which it will.
Maybe check back onto these forums later to see if someone in charge can be bothered to say something but not gonna hold my breath if that tweet I saw yesterday was anything to go by...I doubt they care about new players who have already handed over the cash...my tough luck I suppose...put it down to experience and move onto the next game.
Verm out ^^

Overreact much? This here is the toxicity. This is why we can't have nice things :|
It is of course vaguely possible that some of the match making servers did not have the mayhem setting removed and others did. That might explain why some are getting only elite killers and others are not.
Just a thought and it does seem that people are having a difference of experience with 2.1

yes well ninja'd sir! rikimaru to you. (i miss the good tenchu games...)
Aren't you even bothering to read the posts? I tried running, that's why I went back to give it a go with different tactics, I never tried to fight a single time this test. Two anacondas they killed me before I could get into SC, really I don't know why I even bother posting here, I write one thing, some of you seem to be reading a different post, I TRIED TO RUN EVERY TIME, is that better, it's in caps now. I DID NOT TRY TO FIGHT THEM, ok? They killed me before I could get away, clear?
And it's every mission, not sometimes, not occasionally, every...single...mission! I lose a python every time I go out, I'm broke, next python down I am in starter sidewinder, that good enough for you? Advice is no good if it is useless, telling me run is pointless if I have just posted the very fact that I tried to run and still got destroyed, clear? i don't normally like to be so blunt but well, why waste my time with useless replies?
I will watch the forums, if they patch I may try again, but there's no point if I get destroyed every time I leave a station! If they don't sort this problem, which, according to some posters only seems to happen to me I won't be playing ED again. Not because I didn't enjoy playing, but because it's impossible to play it, unless I fly around in a starter sidewinder for the next few years I guess.
