Newcomer / Intro Being dropped out if Hyperspace by invisible human players??!!

Okay I'm brand shiney new fo ED.

However this has no impact on my mk 1 eyeball and observation to detail.

I have noticed on most occassions when pulled out of FSD you can see the culprit on the scanner chasing tail allowing you to shake them.

However this evening I have experienced (either bugs or glitch exploitation) where my scanner is nice and clear, no contacts around me them Bam cmder whoever has just pulled me out of hyperspace.

The worse encounter from today:

Wasn't scanned or told i was scanned (known bug or player exploit?)

1/ I escaped the first attempt to be dropped out if hyperspace (yes you guessed it from a ship chassing me but on no scanner). Something isnt right No wake... (theres usually a wake when you escape as the person chasing you breaks hyper space) wow within 5 secinds of escaping the first attempt the same player locks on again( what happened to the 40 second charge let alone the drop from fsd?.

I follow the escape tunnal as tight as a nats svinchta, but my blue bar just drops then boom in battle, this persin constantly attacks through shields and arnour (my ship was an enhanced viper) not a single cool down needed from there weapons in a 2 minute fight... is it even possibble to contantly shoot energy weps that long? Not to mentiin 80% of my systems where knocked out (i cant even knock out one without killing the ship)

Boom I'm dead, completely suspicious of the whole scenario I google cheats n exploits and come across some suspicious supposed cheats that match the above description.

Day 2 and already crap like this, not impressed, reported the player was all I could do.

Again this evening got pulled out of warp, blue bar was 1 from full then boom just kept dropping no matter how accurate i was at chasing. Got pulled out of hyper space by another invisible human player. He scans my cargo, this time my system tells me, then he enters FDS and leaves me be.

So after the above description

1/ Can you stay in Hyperspace after failing to pull someone out?

2/ after failing to pull someone out can you pull them again in under 5 seconds?

3/ How can you approach someone in silent mode in hyperspace travel betweeb 0.30c - 1.00c?

4/ is it possible to constantly fire 4 energy weapons without cooling down for 2+mins?

Sorry for the ranting bit, but day two and sussy stuff going on, which just happened straight after i leave a USS with 2 rare artworks.

Cheers in advance for clearing some of my queries.

I've been pulled out 3 or 4 times and there is no one there. I was even trying to be pulled out cause I had new guns to try ;) but i didn't get to :(

The only time I've ever been pulled out there was nobody there. And it only took them a second to pull me out too, I didn't even have time to find the escape vector, it should take a few seconds at least even if you're facing the wrong way. That was a couple of days ago though, there's been two patches since then.

Yesterday, after FSsing to LHS 445 .. or something there was a Viper right in front of me. Close to the sun.

Within a second or 2 the little targetting screen popped up "Wanted" so instead of fuel scooping I decided to try my first human bounty kill.
It was a bit of a struggle getting him out of FS, but I guess the high quality interdictor helps ..

Also, I expected quite a fight with a Viper. Me flying a "general purpose" fitted Cobra.
But it was not that hard. I could put 3 PIPs in engine, 3 in weapons almost right away as he didnt manage to get a single shot on me. With the 3 pips I can indefinately shoot 2 F1 gimballed pulse lasers with every now and then 2 F2 low-heat static pulse lasers.

Not knowing what to expect I tagetted his FSD. But he didnt manage to live long enough to fire it up.

All in all, this guys experience matches yours. Without any cheating involved.
- Came out of nowhere (FSD)
- Persistent energy weapons (2 F1 lasers)
- etc.

On a sidenote:
Why would anybody cruise around "wanted" with a 10k bounty?

I had thought the bug had been squashed in gamma, but it happened to me twice yesterday. Still not sure if it might be failed attempts, where the interdictor stays in FSD & hence vanishes from the scanner.

Note to anyone trying to interdict me: I have a very well equipped Cobra. Your bounties are a small but welcome contribution to my finances. :)

This was a bug they had in Gamma, as Faerie mentions. They increased the spawn time-before-interdiction so that players would not get interdicted by NPCs they could not see.

I would report it as a bug on the support site. (Support button on the launcher.)

The diffence in the experience is I escaped the first attempt to pull me from FSD, This should of pulled him out allowing me to fly on my merry way. Instantly I get pulled again, still on my escape vector me blue bar continues to drop.

So how does this person stay in FSD after a failed pull snd instantly get another one where the Vector doesn't work to the extent that these were not small weps but Beams which eat power?.

Yep, I've been dumped out of hyperspace - no warning of scan etc, just straight dropped.

Also noticing like the above where certain wanted cmdrs have permanent shields and permanent laser weapons that never stop firing....

Hoping this isn't going to be a complete slew of hackers/scripters to spoil the game....then again, I hope it is and they are found and their accounts instantly banned.
