Can We Tone Down Interdictions A Bit?

[anikaiful]

Is there now a use for this key? The first thing I did when I set up my control bindings was to ensure I couldn't accidentally drop all my cargo, and my credo was that if the pirates wanted my cargo they could prise it out of my cold dead hands.

Well, lately a lot of pirates have indeed been prising cargo out of my cold dead hands. I just wonder if a quick and easy "jettison all cargo" button might be a fast way to get them off of my back.

IDK, some people seem to say it has no effect if you jettison anything or not. Haven't tried myself, so no idea.

Why do you even need to turn on your headlights? ^^

A Hauler is actually quite good at winning interdictions, so you should be able to deal with most of the attackes that way. Should all go wrong double chaff always did me good on the Hauler, and its not that difficult to cyrcle around most enemys to keep yourself out of there weaponfire.

Headlights, because RES mining in a Corvette at night. I don't want 92 meters of nose smacking an asteroid every five seconds. And, sorry, I was using a T6 fit only for max range, considering I hadn't had much trouble while in the Corvette (and the one moron who did interdict me paid for it).

Control settings 101: unbind jettison button.

Considering I've never carried cargo or gone mining at all before 2.1, every time I hit insert and heard the "cargo jettisoned" warning before this week, I sort of just sat there being confused for a bit. Actually, before last Tuesday, I only had an FDL, so no cargo space.
