At least those make sense. "Inspection" interdictions serve no purpose whatsoever but to pizz players off.Not to forget the bazillion Anacondas that hunt you down, because you only signed several contracts just to fill up your T-9.
Griefers make open impossible, and how easy the solution is.

I have no idea
Yes, it's near one of the original starter systems & next to Eravate.
Not very high, but lots of newbs and also lots of not-so-newb-anymores
12+ ships the last 24h according to Inara...so...Nope...
It's damn close to my pmf hometurf...could be that we'll be in control of it in the near future. Then it's definitly a yes...and then a relative safe turf to be.Yes, it's near one of the original starter systems & next to Eravate.

I have fond memories of my first missions in Yakabugai and Kremainn, also Bounty Hunting near Wohler Terminal.

Is Veroandi a high traffic system normally? I never heard of it until this past Saturday since there were good painite prices there.
To actually attempt to answer the OP, there is no easy solution. The game is what it is now. But I can say imho why its gone this far: engineering. When FDev decided to include high level weapons and shield engineering in the game, those who could grind grind grind to get god-like combat ships are not pitted against casual and new players who have a RL and responsibilities that keep them from doing the grind for engineers, mats and turning their ships into pvp killing machines.
I needed a refresher so I looked up:
griefer: (in an online game or community) a person who harasses or deliberately provokes other players or members in order to spoil their enjoyment.
ganker: someone that preys on "easy" targets, most of the time the ganker is of a higher level or having superior gear available to him/her. (<< engineering)
The team that killed me Saturday should be labelled "griefer-gankers" because both definitions apply. I was in my modestly engineered Krait2 (not intended for PVP but adequate against NPCs); they were in apparently highly engineered condas since I was being pounded for the first time ever with corrosives.
With that said, I have to say I've only been killed twice by humans and I've been playing since early access. However, for years I did not play this game for combat; I bought it because of everything else besides combat. I have other games for combat. I like astronomy and is the main reason I went down the ED path instead of StarC. enough GL HF

Au contraire mon ami. Other than in EvEOnline, ED-Spaceships are not a fulltime job to engineer. You can get all materials and unlock the engineers quite fast. Speaking of my own experience as a working-class member who's out the home for 13h / day and have my fully engineered murderhobo FDL. I purchased it, unlocked Lori Jameson and engineered it within hours. I already had most of the required materials due to constantly playing the game for maybe 6-8 hr / week.
It was listed on Inara as giving best prices for LTD.
So it's a good candidate for piracy player ships full of LTD or to simply blow them for the lulz and watching the forums for the salty threads.
Block for all NPC ships!NPC Navy ships that interdict you at 6 seconds from the station are the worst griefers of all...
The next iteration of the franchise. Elite: EmptyBlock for all NPC ships!
Yesterday I exit Jameson memorial in a krait mk II fitted for exploration, not in open for a year, the moment I go through the slot a volley of plasma hit my ship and destroy my paperthin Shields and half my hull. Another volley and the ship is gone, only a phrase in the chat: if you're not kumo crew you're nothing. Pay the bill and return to Mobius, it's not fun be the content for some kidWhere the bleeping heck are you guys flying around to met all that pew-pew people? The last time I was in the bubble I tried to find some of them and nobody anywhere. I went to Shinrarta, Wyrd, Deciat, and some other engineers and nothing beside harmless Anacondas with very interesting builds. What am I doing wrong? It feels like I'm playing a different game. Maybe the harmless Anacondas are the ones to pew-pew?
Gods, don't say that. There are people here who would advocate that exact thing in earnest.Block for all NPC ships!

So you didn't check your surroundings.
You didn't watch out for combat ships waiting for prey outside the starport.
You left the single most dangerous starport in the galaxy in a barely shielded vessel.
Well, sounds like a bad idea.
I understand the sour taste, but take it as a learning experience. Prepare better or do it in solo or PG. I'm a big advocate of open and I try to spend the majority of my time there, yet considering all I've read about Jameson I'll visit it in solo, unless I'm prepared to deal with the aggression.
A question about how system security works: how fast do they react and how deadly are they? Say I went in there in a really shielded ship, would one or several gankers get kersploded before I do?
System security is trash. Unless you have an engineered combat ship, they won't be enough to protect you. You're on your own.
I think you failed to understand what I wrote: I meant you could fight and win against a PvP ship, not just get away. That is what engineering changed.Even with engineers you have a decent Chance to get away a gank. Just look up Rinzler's "Git Gud Trading in Open". That jewel shows perfectly how to survive unengineered.
Just look up Cillit Bang fighting much "better" ships in his pre-engineered Viper Mk3. That jewel shows perfectly how combat used to be.
