Well, technically, "random" hyperdiction is likely still scripted as well, though I presume they were talking about what happens when you're hypferdicted, so it's neither here nor there, really.
Counter to hyperdiction (or it's removal, please)

You are playing Pretend Spaceman. We have meaniehead aliens now. You are likely in their territory and they do not like it. None of this seems out of place except perhaps the soulless description of this as pure game code process hindering you from some other aspect of pretending to be a spaceman.
Nothing you are doing is so important that aliens can't pull you over for a bit when you're rolling in their turf, not to mention EVERYONE else in space does this. NPC cops and military yank people all the time; much less ship disabling but many more attempts. Potential setback is part of the game.

This is one of the most cool things involving the Thargoids! I have had it many times and it is still exciting.
On the most recent occasion I was hyperdicted by no fewer than four Thargoids, which was pretty chilling! They took one look at my unarmed, unshielded exploraconda, realised they were no match for me, and wisely withdrew...

Aye man. The first time i fought a thargoid was after a huperdiction. They are much more difficult to fight in this situation as they pulse like crazy. It was a hell of a laugh trying to bring your guns to bear when your getting shut down every few minutes.
Nope, been hauling meta alloys for Aegis out of darnielles progress for 30 million per mission (180 tonnes each) flown missions for palin collecting thargoid resin and samples. General trucking around Pleiades, helping refugees, deep space mining near the Col sector and Aries dark region. Never been hyperdicted once.

I reboot the instant it lets me and jump out when I come back online. Meanwhile the thargoids bug out because they don't know I exist.
Ah! Good point, sir! - I actually have one of those on the ship I use when I go out fighting Thargoids intentionally - it simply hadn't occured to me to fit one to other ships for use in hyperdictions - but having said that, it'd still involve a lot of the wasted time, if not all of it - I'd rather have something like the interdiction mini-game to give a chance to avoid it - perhaps now would be a natural time to look at introducing something like that, since we've begin to develop other anti-Thargoid technology - perhaps the hyperdiction could pull you out of witch-space into supercruise, then the mini-game starts, and if you're successful your jump completes, and if not, the script rolls.
If they didn't do that, there'd have to be some way to enable ship controls in witch space.
Also, I didn't realise hyperdiction was all that rare - I got hyperdicted shortly after it first came out, and I've been hyperdicted who-knows how many times since (interestingly, the Thargoid ship doesn't always appear) - perhaps I've been unlucky, although to be fair, I do spend a good deal of time in Pleiades space because I am having fun with my buddies trying to take down Thargoids, but the hyperdictions get annoying when you're travelling there and back, or doing something else, so that's why I asked for the counter.
As for considering switchign to NMS or SC - I'm not sure what those letters are short for, sorry.
Fit an anti shutdown field and time it after tge hyperdiction. If youre bored start carrying thargoid stuff and risk dying if you time improperly.
I'm in and out of the Pleiades and I still haven't had one
hah! Alright, fair enough - I'll admit I did this post right after the latest hyperdiction happened and, if I'm honest, yeah there are other issues that probably need addressing as a higher priority - however, if they're gonna happen anyway, and it's easy to do, why not add in the mini-game? people that still want the experience can just throttle down or whatever the submit option is.
"eat a bag of CMDR" - censorship LOL.
Remove the hyperdiction?!
I haven't even had one yet... Lol
Please don't.

Yeah - I thought I had covered what I wanted in the OP, but I didn't explain carefully enough - I realised after typing hurriedly that asking for it's removal equates to asking for others to be denied the spectacle of one of these hyperdictions - the first time it happened to me was cool, so I was wrong to phrase it that way.
However, after about the fifth time and it's [almost] identical every time, you kinda just want to get on with your day - if I have to ctrl-alt-delete to skip it, I will, but I'd rather have an in-game method to get a chance at avoiding it - that was the intended main thrust of my post - I do wish I'd left the comment about removing it out, now!
