Chain interdiction is a legit tactic.
-It's used widely to disrupt pirate operations in CG's.
-The whole Salome defence event was based on chain interdictions.
-Traders will get interdicted over and over by a player that wants to disrupt the outcome of a CG by forcing them to dump their cargo.
-Pirates will interdict you everytime you cross them at a CG.
There's a lot of ways to counter interdictions, fighting them for starters if you are in a more agile ship.

You know, in Eve (Im raking up a huge word count on the word Eve!!!) we would often be camped in for weeks by war'ing factions, i cannot even begin to imagine how some of you guys would cope with that, the reports for harassment, no way to block them, you'd give up!
Anyway, this is not Eve, this is ED, i can think of so many ways not to be chain interdicted: the most potent of which being...Switch to Solo for a few jumps? Honestly the whinge about non-issues astounds me. Worst thing Sandro ever did was make those comments for the pacifists to twist to their own agendas.
There are so many games where griefing and harassment are real issues with no quick fix, i think some of you lot need to take a step back and realise how easy you have it in ED.
Its ironic you know, never have i seen a community throw the words "Griefer" and "Harrassment" around so freely, when infact i've never seen a game with not only so little of it, but where its so easily avoided.

what you are describing is all part of the fun. in 2.5years of GP I have only come across 6 griefers. coming across these is pretty rare and I look forward to the encounters. if I posted this last month it would have been 5. there are plenty of tricks to evade to learn.
if you don't like meeting other's, then don't go near the CG's.
as others have said. you could just block them. though in my opinion its not necessary. blocking griefers or anyone actually restricts.
only Cmdr's that would be blocked by me would be those that verbally abuse.
using a ship does not constitute abuse its gameplay.
I know what you mean, people scream harassment, griefer, bigotry and even actual real world crimes just because players choose to use the block function exactly as it was always intended specifically for the things it was intended to be used on.
People should read about games before they buy them, it would cut down on the pointless whinging no end.
It's also a legit reason to block a player, it all depends on individual choice.
I do love it when someone slaps their epeen on the table and goes yeah look see im a real man me..is it any wonder the people use such functions as ignore and block.
You shouldn't trivialize the sheer unflinching heroism and selfless bravery people show by moving the cursor in a video game menu.
What I don't get is the salty pvp crowd complaining there is no proper pvp set up when CQC is staring right at them.
Remember CQC where you can battle other players on equal terms .

That is normal in areas like Maia. The system has been constantly UA bombed for months without end, so likely they interdicted you to ensure you weren't doing just that.
If they didn't kill you, then what's the problem then?
You can fly in an unarmed ship and carry Unknown Artifacts to bomb stations. Unarmed or not, it doesn't matter to a player.
You don't have to always be in Open if you're doing Engineering. If it means carrying cargo or a mission that you don't want to lose, then don't take the risk.
Recommending someone an exploit? Must be nice.
You're a bot, aren't you? All you do is repeat the same thing using slightly different words... Do you think that the lead designer that you are clearly so in thrall to appreciates this?
A bit ironic coming from someone that felt the need to make a thread because someone interdicted him...
So ... I like CQC a lot. Lots of fun, fast paced, unforgiving of mistakes (so I die a lot...), and has just enough regulars I don't have trouble getting a match these days.
However. It's extremely limited in the sorts of fights you can have. I don't mean "fair" rather than "unfair" - but in other respects:
1) Only modes are 4v4 team games or 8-way free-for-all brawl. No 2v1 (but the 1 gets a bigger ship). No 1v1 for that matter, unless you manage to find an out of the way spot in a free-for-all. Certainly nothing more complex like "escort the trader". There's a Capture The Flag mode for very basic "defend/attack the objective" play, but that's about it.
2) No way to arrange a match between two specific teams. You can construct two teams with the squad feature (though the squad lead must be friends already with all members of the squad) but the only way to match that versus another team is to both hit "team deathmatch" at once and hope you get lucky
3) Limited to four ships with an extremely limited weapon selection (pulse lasers and maybe in some situations beam lasers being the only decent ones) and most of the loadout variants being poor. Nothing with more than 2 hardpoints, or with truly fixed weapons (or turrets, to go the other way)
4) Limited to four maps - which are certainly more interesting than the average "deep space" encounter in the main game, but obviously get a bit repetitive.
5) All fights have exactly zero effect on the rest of the game universe. PvP is certainly an ineffective BGS or Powerplay tactic relative to PvE, but at least it does something. CQC by design has no in-game effect.
It would need a lot of expansion before it could substitute for the breadth of options main game PvP had, and I doubt that FDev putting that much effort into it would be taken well by most players...
You can translate 99% of "Griefer" threads on here before you even open them to "Im annoyed because someone decided to shoot at me in Open mode despite the fact its a perfectly legitimate, legal and acceptable to do so"
Ah right, so it's time to get up in arms whenever someone interdicts you "because mummy, this game said I could play my way!" but when it comes to giving PvPers something to do..."meh, just lob them in some game mode with broken matchmaking that doesn't actually use any of the in-game assets you earned, even though there's nothing within PvE that requires half of the power you can achieve with engineers".
Son, you sound so reasonable it hurts.
Also, the only thing triggering the PvP crowd is how comic the anti-PvP brigade looks when pulling out insults like "salty". Ya just...don't seem to have it down right. Keep trying though.
I'm afraid you're quite mistaken if you believe blocking somebody is an exploit.
Maybe the lead designer programmed the bot.
Lead game designers advice: use this sort of exploititive out of game tool to avoid actually learning how to use the proper in game systems to ensure your own survival!
Nightshady's advice: learn to protect yourself by using common sense, no out of game tools required for self protection!
I think I've spotted a problem...

You are either trolling or are incredibly dense.
I make no special consideration for Sandro if he ever announces in the forum that he's been cheating for months tells the devs they don't dare do anything about it then gets publicly spanked, I'll give him stick about it. Just as soon as I've finished laughing.
