Want to break it down for me exactly where I wasn't polite or providing useful advice here? I've quoted my posts for your convenience.
Really looking forward to your input.

Three steps to make a better ship out of the Type-9.
1. Use better shields.
2. Fit some HRPs.
3. Trade it for a Cutter.

You will with that thread title. 'Help required with T9 build' might have gone differently, given what happened.Never ever come to the forums for constructive criticism m8... You'll be called terrible, ignorant, foolish and be the reason for those who want to shoot you in the face in OPEN it seems.

OP you can outfit even a medium build for void opal mining and make billions in a short amount of time. If you are dead set on running haulage missions, you're going to have mission generated pursuits. In fact I take those quite often, stacking them actually, just to get materials from the large ships that interdict me.
Low wake means you were trying to get to Supercruise. That gets blocked by ship mass-locking. Better then to try to ram the opponent, if it stands still long enough.
High wake means you jumped to another star. You can do that any time. If want to be sure, have a neighbouring star selected for emergency escape when you fly through a system.
SAs others have said, the "low wake" you'll see if you wake scan someone who jumped into supercruise, but the "high wake" is what you'll encounter if you scan a wake of someone who jumped into witch space aka system to system. Why you cannot be mass locked with high wake is beyond me, seems like a bit of an oversight by FDev. Regardless there's no in-game explanation regarding it, people here seem to think everyone saturates themselves with the nuances of the game. Maybe there's something in the manual and it's intended game play, but it's odd you can be mass locked by a station and cannot high wake but cannot be mass locked by another ship. Maybe it's just an added escape hatch to prevent the kind of situation you encountered.
I quoted you when I replied to your posts. Look up what you said when I replied and you will see what you said. The list above is not complete btw.
I'm not sure I know what you mean. I've heard you-tubers say low wake, high wake. I was mass locked so I could not jump. And the first few shot took out the engines.

Great video. Learned a lot.
I've had a lot of success with shock mines in a pure survive and escape build. But I haven't tried them in a Type 9.

Exactly my point. The OP kept scoffing at mine and other suggestions.
Act like a fool get treated like one.
another disgruntled person , thats has no idea what there doing and dieing and blameing the game for it, i wish these were considered dupe threads , because there are so many of them allready
if your flying heavy, you need a good 1k sheilds minimum,Prismatic/regular and the need to be engineered for thermal, this will amke most npc attacks useless and make for an easy escape,
never fly with out weapons unless you have a reliable escape, turrented pulse are good, the npcs are programmed to be evasive and will avoid fire and not attack
dont use mines , they suck
also when faceing Greifers.... just switch to solo and switch back to open in the station =P , works like a charm

Is that what you think happened here?
Cos, to me, it looks like somebody moaned, got offered a variety of good advice and then responded by saying (to paraphrase) "well, I dunno about any of that but..." and then moaned some more.
I came back from a long break also when mining was released and built a long range miner/explorer , after a long play session i had mined around 100 void opals and thought ok i will logout and sell these opals on my next playthrough... however forgetting that pirates spawn in rings with you on a relog i was caught with my pants down in the middle of the rings with no means of escape as the ship i was in could barely outrun a fart in a soft wind... long story short my ship, its cargo and many many many millions all went puff into the black.
So? What happened next you might ask?.... well after cursing me and the npc's name , i dusted myself off and went back doing what i do, so instead of blaming FD , take a good look in the mirror and blame that guy.
There would have been one solution I also tend to forget: Just give them the goods.
But one often tends to panic in these situations and give in to the old fight-or-flight reflex.
Indeed , i think my issue was just that. I saw the blips approaching on radar when i logged back in the following day and thought i could maybe make it out the rings in time to jump but i GREATLY underestimated just how long this would take, by this point any crys for mercy would have been met with more pips in weapons.
You should have bought a type 10 defender instead, you would have atleast be able to hold your ground with it's large number of turrets.
