I have to say that is unlucky I have never had that many random interdiction attempts in one run, anyone would think you were taking on and stacking missions with the opposition warning.

For those times I don't fancy meeting lots of pirates I always avoid missions, sorry that's a bit ingenuous I almost always avoid missions unless ranking up or unlocking a permit I don't want to play a game and have someone ordering me about.

I've had it rarely happen when stacking massacre missions and getting incoming enemy alerts. Sometimes the alert doesnt update after each intercepting pirate is killed like it normally does where it tells you who's coming next. Then I just get a stream of interdictions until the mission is completed. It's really rare but never bothers me really saves me the trouble of having to hunt them down since their kills count towards the massacre mission totals.

A Conda? I eat them for breakfast now if you had said a Krait I would have got on board personaly I think the "Conda" should be the starter ship as a punishment

Yeah , hee hee - the Anaconda is sluggish and I only use a long-jumper load-out of it when I want to jump a real long way - like perusing the perimeter without having to duck inside. I only used that as an example from early on in my ED life to indicate my approach on the the game.

Personally, I dislike the idea of stating things as "grinding". People should not be playing this game if they feel they have to "grind." When you first start the game you should not expect to be "privileged" to go buy, for example, a very expensive Anaconda. You go out and find the things you like to do in this game or you go find a different game period. At some point you end up with enough to buy a Conda and the game rewards your anticipation with the ability to get it. I enjoyed the anticipation of getting to that next level - whether it was buy a Conda or getting the Elite status, or whatever.... That's called gaming. Beta testing is to get feedback, not to decide to buy it or not. I didn't beta test my Conda as I joined long after it was released. Once all the feedback is in, the Drake Fleet Carrier will be released with all of it's characteristics and options stated. Just use Wiki Fandom if you want the details to decide on it.... But even then you should not "grind" to get it, play the game for what you like and let the game come to you...

I dislike the "grind" which this game has plenty of.

The price is going to get lowered on fleet carriers, let's stop pretending it won't be so. Fdevs didn't give us a number but I think it will be cheap and I think even for a million
there will be commanders who will opt not to buy one still. During beta 2 I'm waiting for the price to drop to a Million and so first week test as a visitor, second week test as an owner.

A forum is suppose to be helpful not a place to get belittled over disagreement with mechanics of the game and so far I have only seen a few helpful replies but most are belittling me or laughing at me. FYI for those that can't read between the lines I play in solo mode or private group never in open so I am not complaining about the open play part of the game cause I ALREADY know what open is like it's a bunch of blood thirsty vulchers.

While I agree, it seems the realm of humanity just descends to petty bickering. The same behavior is prevalent across all internet forums I visit. You can see it out in the meat space realm, too.
It is really strange too. Agree with me or you are a bad person seems to be the basis for at least a few people's thinking. On the other hand, it is only some people who do that. Those who let you just have your opinion won't likely say much about it. As such, there is a bit of a bias toward seeing only those who are of the category I describe.

Any advice appreciated.

Separate the interdiction system from the players that don't wish to do combat, like the exploerers,traders, and passenger haulers.

Those players are actually essential to the PvP foodchain.

Yes, I did just describe them as prey. Mechanically, they are.

...I still get interdicted which should not happen unless I choose to take part in combat which I don't and never will...

...that I have an issue with FDEV will never fix cause they promote bullying.

Bullying
Yeah, Men without chests.

Edit: and in a game at that.


You make un-serious accusations and expect serious replies. This is how the game works. If you don't like it, you know the answer.

Already been confirmed that the price is going to get lowered to 1 million credits in the “blowout” phase of the beta.

I'd love something like this, which broken down is a camera view out of the bridge over your FC (so no bridge visible) with portraits and services overlaid, or have some sort of inside bridge view like below.

I'd also like some sort of camera view in each landing bay, so I can see who has docked- this could be repurposed ship kit angles, or simply reuse the standard POV in hangars.

You could even mix holo me into it, with your character standing in the centre as the captain.

yes please!!! This is the way forward
this is about 1 billion times better than the floating in space option supplied by frontier for my 5 billion credits.
