Horizons Gutted (sucidal NPC’s at Xmas time)

I finally got my head around mining and was one jump away from cashing in over 100 tonnes of rare minerals and gems! We are talking a big payout!

Of course it’s a white dwarf... no problem usually, supercharged a thousand times, but not whilst being interdicted!

That’s right a suicidal NPC decided to follow me into the flume and pull me out of SC! Now we are both stuck in the inevitable death spiral and there is no way out!

Commanders watch out for sucidal NPCS ... they are much more prone to depression this time of year! [where is it]
 
Damn.
You can get your ship out if you try. Maybe you'll lose your cargo but its better than nothing.
Good luck.
Thanks for the heads up.
 
You should see the suicidal tendencies they got in RES and CZ these days. I only need to go into FA off mode flying backwards and they are very happily splitting themselves apart on the nose of my Corvette.

Inquiring minds would like to know if you escaped??

I think you should have been able to since I was able to escape from GD 215 in nearly stock Sidewinder so something fitted out for mining should have what it takes to do it.

Target the White Dwarf.
Get it directly behind you.
Go into the systems and shut off everything you don't need.
Put a bit of way on the ship. You should be able to get 25% without causing to much heat up but anything you can manage is just that much more distance from the star and that much less speed you need to get into SC.
Max pips to Engines.
Start the FSD and the escape vector should be right in front of you since it will be 180 deg from the star.
Hit boost a bit early so it can kick in before stuff starts to shut down from overheat.
Now just ride it out..
As I was told when I was trapped at GD 215,, the ship should handle 200% heat before it blows.

You WILL need major repairs at your earliest opportunity.

\YMMV
