Only ever interdicted by elites and deadlys

I'm a trade elite, but only an expert at combat. However, whenever I get interdicted it's ONLY ever by Elite's or Deadlies. And as I usually travel around in my TRAVEL ship and not my combat ship, I'm usually totally outmatched.

I gotta tell you, this kinda sucks.

My last 5-10 fights with pirates after my cargo:

Bounty Reward: 110k credits
Repair / Restock bill : 140k credits

Thanks FD! (2-finger salute! o7 )
Pfft!

I'm seeing the same. Always Deadly or Elite rank and almost always an Anaconda or FDL. I'm mining or exploring until I get some enemies I don't need to run away from (getting good at that, repair bills are shrinking and not a single death since 2.1 dropped :))

I have to say im glad im not getting interdicted by shieldless harmless sideys. And enjoy fighting elite FDL's.

but the bounty payout could use a buff.

Yep. Pretty much the same here. Combat rank Master and trying to trade is slow, due to interdiction. Always manage to high wake out, but the extra time it all takes is getting a bit dull.

I'm hoping the number of posts about this will prompt FD to tweak the interdiction settings.

Yes, I'd agree, but its jumped from an annoying waste of time with mostly tiny ships to 'OMG RUN!'.
I'd prefer something in between, or a least some variety of ships between 'Ha Ha. Die little man' and 'Arg! Leg It!'.

I suggest keeping tabs on what interdicts you and when, just with pen and paper for a few days. Then start a thread (or modify this one) detailing what the frequency of the interdictions and their content is. I'll start doing the same. I'm sure if enough people start doing this, we'll start to see a pattern which may help us understand what's going on better.

So, keep records for a few days, no videos, just notes and in a week or so, we will gather in a thread and comment with our findings, stating our assets and ranks. Anyone in support of this or a better idea? Please answer seriously only. We have enough of unfunny, snide remarks like 'how about FD fix their game, lol?'.

Get the best biggest shield you and point defense and chaff and several shield boasters and 4 pips to shields.

Or do missions in a cobra, nothing catches that baby.

Agreeing to this and raised a couple of posts the past days. Now trying to stop moaning all the time waiting for actions
on FD side. I hope they listen carefully and already have a plan.
Best of all would be a statement what they heared out of the roaring from 2 different edges of the span.
I know the combateers really love it. (I am no cobateer)

Regards,
Miklos

Posted a bug report, Interdictions always Elite FDL and Condas, no missions, clean, allied with major fractions, no PP pledge, expert /ranger/tycoon. while I have Dirty drives so out of weapons range before they appear after submission, its still just annoyance of being too frequent excessive ranking.

And obviously this means you are a brilliant Combat pilot? Is that really your point?

Partly. One could argue that a elite trader will attract elite pirates.

Thank you Brett, but you can't seriously be suggesting that this is the first you've heard that the game is not so much fun for us pacifists any more? :)

He suggested something? He only said he will pass it along.

I can add to the pool, since 2.1 all interdictions have come from deadly or elite NPCs.
Myself i have no elite rank, my combat rank is as low as novice.
Also, this doesn't only happen on tycoon or elite missions, but on lower ones as well.

Isn't it logical that elite traders attrack elite pirates? I mean, i hate flying my weaponless cutter and being interdicted, but at least it makes sense when something that can actually harm me interdicts me instead of shieldless adders telling me to drop all the cargo.

t. elite in combat, tycoon in trading
