Die Constantly?!?

Hey - Been playing for the last few hours now and get the same thing happen every time. Pick up cargo from port. Fly to another system and just before I get to base get interdicted and drop out of Frame Shift. Only to have 3 ships blow me away. I only have basic ship. Even if I don't have cargo they just blow me away. Put up a bit of a fight but against 3 I got no hope.

Been looking forward to this a lot and getting a bit annoyed with the same rinse and repeat. Don't get me wrong...not having a major rant...just worries about this is what its going to be in the game from now on. Overpowered ships ganging up on single ships with starter firepower. Must have happened 6-7 times.

Other than that its amazing :)

Run for it, the starting ship with it's puny laser doesn't stand a chance against multiple pirates. power to engines, full speed away, and hit C for supercruise.

When you are interdicted, put 4 pips to engine and go at full speed (using boosters) in the opposite direction to the contacts.
About 3 boosts and you should be able to engage FSD and carry on. :)


edit: double ninja'd!

Dont put up a fight , control your spin line back up to the route you was going ,hit full throttle .all pips up .you CAN out run . Keep hitting supercruse. Till it kicks in.

Im doing the same thing but its not happening to me. I take it you've tried changing destination? If not why not take a break from the trading for one jump and go kill some ships on those combat locations then, then go back. I hear you get 500 cr a kill.

It could be a bug or something. Only a beta.

EDIT

Wow ninja posting! no posts when I started writing!

Haha...went to say night to my lad and came back and bammm :)

Thanks for info...will give it a go.

Tried different routes already and presumed I would not be able to outrun them.

Will give it a blast and keep hitting C till I jump again.

Cheers for info guys :)

If the other ship(s) are close, then the mass lock effect will slow the SC jump timer. However, the mass lock effect on the timer is not updated in real-time so if it's really slow, hit SC key again to turn it off, wait 10 seconds or so and try it again.

Don't forget to avoid the anarchy systems if you are feeling vulnerable.

You can outrun them easily, you can outrun everything I've seen in an interdiction scenario if you're quick.

When you drop out of SC your ship will be shaking like mad. Wait a couple of seconds for it to stop a bit and then ramp your throttle to max. At the same time put all pips to engines.
While you're doing this you should be paying attention to the scanner and the location of the baddies. They could be pirates or the Feds. I don't care which, I just get the hell out of there. Orient your ship away from them and then hit the boost button. As soon as you can boost again do so.
The other ships should be on the edge of the scanner at this point and you can engage your SC drive and turn towards wherever you were going in the first place.

Interestingly, in 5 hours of play last night the anarchy system was the only one where I was never interdicted - even when shipping coffee! Surprisingly, Eranin had the most interdictions.
