Last night I was out in my T7 flying my new trade route because my previous one had become illegal due to the power changes.
As I started the run I picked up the cargo and jumped to the target system.
Slowly I turned my lumbering beast of a T7 away from the danger of the star when my ships sensors pick up a new contact.
As I turned to head to the target station I was keeping an eye on my radar when my left eye spotted something appear on the comms channel, it said:
“Looks like the rumour mill was true, this is my lucky day” - or something to that effect.
That's when they tried and failed to interdict me.
After that I realigned to my target and was on my way keeping a good eye on the radar – there where lots of contacts.
I exited supercruise about 10km away from the station.
As I start to speed up, after locating the stations entrance, a ship comes out of supercruise about a few meters away.
I think to myself that was cool especially with the visual effect and sound. Since playing the game even in beta this was the first time my ship was pointing in the right direction to see another ship exit supercruise.
But this new experience did not last long as I realised it was the ship who tried to interdict me.
The other ship was really close, my T7 slow to accelerate, trying to start my evading pattern with flight assist off.
Over the comms comes the message 'I'm here to stop you' and the ship opens fire on me.
Even with flight assist off they are landing hits until I realise I should be evading plus heading to the safety of the station.
I try to coax my T7 towards the station, my shields being battered.
I was down to my last ring when the system authority ships came to my rescue – all 9 of them.
The attacker stood no chance and was promptly dispatched.
Meanwhile I proceeded to the stations entrance.
As I passed into the station another set of comms messages appeared. This time from the system authority ships:
“This area has been cordoned off as part of a crime scene”
“All ships in the area must stop and submit to a scan”
By that time I was nearly at my pad so I landed.
This is the first time since playing (I was a beta backer) that I've had and see so much NPC interaction and it pretty much made my night.

I wonder if that was of any influence on the attack?
