An NPC made me log...

Not that he could kill me, but I after the seventh chain interception I gave up and logged to get rid of the nuisance. What's the point of NPCs repeatedly interdicting you, if you managed to get out once it should be enough. If I had stayed that would habe been the longest 4K trip of history ever, interrupted every 20 seconds I'd still be there tomorrow.

And while I'm talking NPCs, why are we still yanked back 10 to 20 ls every time ? That bug has been reported one bleeping year ago .

I hope you reported yourself, given that the NPC can't.

For my part, I actually really like that NPC pirates are more tenacious now. It keeps life interesting. And you still have the option to jump out of the system to lose them if it gets really bad - I've done that once or twice.

<grins> It'd be kinda cute if they could, though.

Genuine question, does this still happen if you evade the interdiction? Surely then they end up dumped into normal space and you are in SC giving you enough time to carry on?

Why ? I logged between interceptions, not during combat. I have A5 Aisling shields, that puny pirate was not a danger, just an annoying game design.

No clue, I've given up trying to evade when it bugs half of the time with the target doing 180s so I submit and run.

Usually an evasion gives you plenty of time if you're heading somewhere specific; lots of them occur really close to your destination so it's pretty easy. I've been double-jumped while doing comprehensive system scans but that's me staying where I can be re-acquired.

If you are interdicded more than once, just submit turn around and kill the fokker.. that usually sorts it.. annoying time wasting though...

Cmdr's
Let me just say to Cmdr Androomalius: good that really showed him the way

Some honourable Cmdr's here suggest that NPC's have become more tenacius, I risk my reputation begging to differ !!
Cmdr's the Nps have recently become even more atrociously stupid! We have here persistent , agressive, thoughtless NPC's that risk life and welfare, either interdicting empty ships demanding cargo

or death defying blundering burps that blindly attacks Ships vastly outclassing them...
Cmdr's this must end..right now!
Honourable Cmdr's I propose an emidiate Petition to the Mother of the NPC's and request that she casts a spell on her minions that reduces the ignorance and deathwish slightly..

Cheers Cmdr's

some of us are pacifists

*polishes my weapons on my t9* damn npcs pirates are hardly worth the time it takes to kill them.

For the record, when you are chased and repeatedly interdicted by an NPC, if you resist the interdiction and win, he gets thrown into normal space and will not be able to catch you up.
