3 issues need fixing about fuel scooping

[Lord_Itchybum]

I never scoop over 99% heat myself, the extra few fuel/sec just isn't worth it. It's annoying being interdicted whilst fuel scooping definitely but really there's no reason to scoop in the heat danger zone as the risk outweighs the reward drastically.

What he said, plus heat sinks. I never fly without them.

scooping interdictions are extremely annoying

do the attacking ships actually take any heat damage? doesnt seem that way....

edit - also as posted above: i scoopt at around 160-180p/s with my A class scoop. that will run me at 95% heat max. I can still submit then run without boiling up...but it annoys me that 1) my route gets lost (BUG), and 2) the NPCs don't appear to take heat damage

"Not an issue" and "Not an issue to my personally limited preception" are very different, it can come across as rather rude and arrogant if you don't take care to make the distinction. Also while these things might not be a major issue the OP never stated that they were and not every issue reported or suggested here has to be a game breaker.

1. Music clipping is an issue because it shouldn]t really do it. It's doesn't affect the game play but it could also be argued that parts of the in-game holo-ui randomly being drawn in green rather than orange isn't a major issue but it would make it no less annoying and would affect a player's perception of the game negatively.

2. Another immersion problem, as to the origin of the problem that's another problem but it shouldn't be happening. While minor for a particular function, could easily indicate more serious problems with spacial sound playback.

3. Interdictions come from a direction and the escape vector tends to head away from the direction that the interdictor approaches. As a result of most NPCs not flying through the star to interdict you, therefore cutting out roughly 50% of the available directions, there is a good chance that the escapt vector will be a really unfortunate direction. More importantly, there is a contextual and immersion issue of NPCs actually interdicting fuel scooping ships with no care in the world about their own ship's temperature and integrity. However as the generally accepted way to safely scoop is at minimum SC velocity, you wouldn't normally come across the need for an escape vector as you automatically concede and then have the fun task of running away and re-charging the FSD without incurring too much heat damage from the recharge process. Or just shoot the buggers, and then have to recharge the FSD...

THANK YOU MUFUS - my words exactly so why did Skip Intro feel the need to post it if non of it applied to him? I personally would've found another thread that did! It cost me a 1 week ban off this forum to say something without insult in that general direction. Why was the polite comment removed and why did it act within seconds of being posted with such hostility when he could simply chose to "ignore member" himself? This all sounds like abuse of the rules to me is all I can add. I simply wanted to draw the attention of 3 ISSUES I hope get resolved for a better gaming experience.
