This my worry to Interdiction is already weighted so heavily agianst the victim making it "fairer" should be making the interdiction harder to complete. IF this is true this just one more reason to stay in solo or pve groups as this is a death sentence in open if it makes the cool down longer or even harder to evade entirely.

Sometimes I get the feeling, some of you guys bought the wrong game...
Are you sure, you weren't looking for "Elite: Prettyniceandsafe" instead of "Elite: Dangerous"?

"...is already weighted so heavily against the victim...", "...this is a death sentence..." ??? C'mon dude! You know what? I've been playing in open only, since at least 8 months! Almost every day, several hours a day & night. In all the time I have been interdicted by a player and destroyed maybe... 8 times? Maybe even less! 8 times in 8 months! Do the math...
It's once a month! That's all? Ever played Arma II DayZ Mod? You had a good chance to die every 30 minutes - if you were good. If you were just a standard player, it happened every 5 minutes.

Ok... there is a solo mode in ED for those who want to play solo, but why the heck everyone is whining about the bad bad bad open before he plays solo? I simply don't get it...
If there would be no danger through other players in open, it would be a second solo! Wouldn't make sense...

6th October, that's rather a long beta. Powerplay was released in June-- that's four months between patches.

Doesn't exactly give much space for 1.5; Horizons beta; and horizons itself this year. That rather suggests Horizons won't be out until March 2016 or something, at earliest.

DON'T PANIC! There's plenty of time. 1.5 will probably only need a two week beta and, given that this is supposed to launch in "the holidays" as well, the beta may overlap the Horizons beta if FD can cope with that. If we imagine a Horizons release date of Dec 18th* then I reckon the beta could start around Nov 17th - this gives a four and a half week beta - or perhaps they will go for the week before to get a longer beta but I would surprised if they release the beta any earlier than this. When Horizons launches the base game client will need updating as well - the only question is whether this is done in two stages (1.5 then Horizons) or at the same time. My only concern is if they will be ready to launch before Christmas.

*yeah, I know

There's a diffrence between dangerous and insane, currently the interdictors that play pirates like code or just psycho players that PK at any chance are always pushing for harsher penalties for the interdictee, meanwhile the interdictor has all the perks with none of the drawbacks. If they'd have their way they'd make the submission cool down the same as the loss one. Its stuff like that that just makes it less of a mini game or a risk and more of 'oh you got interdicted and not in combat ship? good bye enjoy your insurance bill'. The interdictee is being treated like a second class citizen and honestly its an awful way to treat your players which Frontier relies upon to buy the expansions and skin packs that will keep the game running.
 
I tried all filters, everything. The problem persists. No stars in realistic view, no stars in star class view, even with "sort by population size" deactivated. No stars in economy view, none in allegiance view... nothing.

Maybe try deleting the contents of C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player, that's where the settings for the map screen and the other GUI options are stored - maybe something being misconfigured in there is causing this? (Or you could probably just rename the folder and have the game create a new one...)

You mean, IF the developer changes it so submission doesn't allow near-instant departure, as it does currently?

And IF the developer changes it so that a hyperspace jump to another system doesn't ignore mass disruption and allow near-instant departure, as it does currently?


Because, to me, it seems like the interdictee is currently holding all the cards. Given the above, I see no basis for any judgement that " the interdictor has all the perks with none of the drawbacks" at present.

It is attitude like the player you replied to that has kept me from playing this game for the last couple of months.

From what i've understood, 1.5 should also be the linking patch between the normal game and horizons, so i expect to have the same beta for both 1.5 and horizons

TZ ARIETIS has the Federal Gun Ship.

Last time I checked, which was last week, LHS 3447 Dalton Gateway had the Fed Gun Ship and the Fed Assault Ship. the Condor is CQC only. I would love to see the Condor in open play but without the ability to put a Frame Shift Drive on it we may have to wait till they allow ships to be transported in bigger ships, like the Anaconda

Let me tell you a secret: If you submit to the interdiction (Throttle to zero), your cool down time reduces a lot, but the time for the guy who interdicted you doesn't.

If you can't defend yourself, consider getting and scort wing. If you can't get it, learn to fight. If you can't fight, outplay your oponent. If you can't, then you are not fit to be a Freelancer pilot. If you don't want to play in a dangerous universe... Why the hell are you playing ELITE: DANGEROUS?
 
So As i have seen today a few weird things happen that others saw in previous updates that never occurred to me... Ie- targets not locking even though seeing their rank and ships and area of the map multiple people were not flying with stealth or using silent running, but now i see this weird problem where i am in a game with others on death match but we are desyncd, i see them on the score board after i self destructed but the scores for main game are 0-0 , i'm just a ghost in this game or on parallel dimension
