Forced "submission" to interdiction?

[Cmdr Nemo]

I'm pretty new, so maybe this has been posted previously. I don't know. If it has, I apologize. What I'm referring to in the title, for the record, is not forced interdiction- as in failing to evade an interdiction attempt, thereby taking damage and being burdened with an extended FSD cooldown. What I mean is that somehow I'm submitting to interdiction without actually reducing my speed to zero, or at all. I'm not fantastic at combat just yet, and I perhaps foolishly take well-paying "Elite" level jobs, so, despite my own rating of "Mostly Harmless," the pirates I encounter are almost always ranked "Master," "Dangerous," and "Deadly." They're also usually cruising around in Anacondas or better, so I'm severely outmatched in my unfinished Python. Due to these factors, I get blown apart in seconds if I willingly submit to interdiction, well before I can manage to shift to safety. My go-to tactic then is to evade during interdiction, which is, as I'm sure you all know, laughably easy. So I'm getting a little bit miffed that one out of every thirty or so of these I "submit" to interdiction when I've done no such thing. I tried to find if maybe enemies in the game have a way of forcing your speed to zero, thus causing you to "submit," but I've been unable to find anything of the sort. I'm getting weary of dishing out millions in insurance costs and fines from failed contracts. Can anyone explain what's going on?

Perhaps I missed it, but what grade cores do you have. A new python comes with "E's". When I first started, I upgraded to "D's" post haste and never had an issue with NPC's. The moment you get interdicted, throttle to zero as fast as you can. Don't wait until the interdiction is in progress. Then as other state boost as often as you can until the cool down has completed, boost again when you engage super. Having "A"s graded cores is better yet.

I don't see why it would be the culprit either but I don't use it and find the same thing started happening. I can't say "yes this is why" but disabling it should give you the answer soon enough!

Hope this helps but I have never installed that unit in any of my ships I have interdicted only once (seriously, no brag just fact). I put that to advice I got early on which was; put your throttle in the blue as it's about maneuvering NOT speed. My only.....concern...is that the game has put the freaking escape vector IN the Sun on several occasions!

Don't think they are going to care, Dyonas hasn't been seen since 2020...

you have dug up an old fossilised thread from 2020 if replying to threads it may be prudent to check if they are current

The other one he picked was from 2019... Dates are not a strong point for this young padewan.
