Me neither, but it gets tedious to run all the time when RNG decides you're up for some engineered NPC "fun".
Frontier developers made this game so annoying and bugged

- ai bug cheating impossible interdiction
so op admits combat logging and forum names are linked to our accounts and frontier is going to do what exactly?
just curious or is combat logging OK now?
i know interdiction can be a right PITA but;
a) avoid them in the first place by doing the loop of shame
b) brave sir robin maneuver, even in a paper thin T9 will work.

Hardly rng. Engineered npc's only show up as spec ops in cz's, in pirate uss's and pirate lord assassination missions.
That's a tiny part of the game. If you want to avoid engineered npc's, it's incredibly easy.
(That being said, I'll happily help you beat your favourite dead horse. Engineering and the accompanying powercreep was a very bad thing for -pvp- combat and devolved it into a game of rock-paper-scissors)

OP needs to go back to cheaper ships for a bit.
Sounds like a classic Ferrari driver. Has the cash, so thinks he has the skill, but then gets outpaced by a mildly tuned Mini Cooper at the track day that's being driven by a dude with skills.
OP. Serious suggestion. Buy a Cobra Mk III. If you're dying that quickly in a Type-9 then you need to go back to basics.

c) destroy them for extra money, mats and arx.
OP, there is no point complaining on this forum. As you can see, you're simply receiving a number of "T9 lol" replies. This is "Forum irony", the same "irony" that for over a month now allegedly motivates the "but is it an open letter??" so-called jokes. This place has become the private troll cave of a few dozens of players who aren't even "whiteknighting" as much as elbowing each other with lame jokes instead of having any objective or meaningful opinion about the game. The "CAN I HAZ YOUR STUFF" crowd.
Avoid them and this place.
Avoid them and this place.
With any kind of decent shields, an NPC won't destroy you in ten seconds.
Yes, I deliberately stack missions in my Cutter and fly slowly in the destination system in order to get materials.
Bazmeson sneers down from the heavens.
No, they aren't.
C'mon then -help them out with advice. Like you literally never do.
Take your own advice for a happier time.
Well, on the topic.
This actually sounds like a very old bug that is in the game since the very release if I remember correctly. It has however become very rare nowadays.
In my experience, there's nothing you can do to avoid interdiction at that point with the bug, you either randomly win or lose (bar increases or decreases constantly, escape vector jumps around erratically).
Probably best that you restarted the game. Cheers.

depends.
Also depends what you've posted in the past, a little sleuthing will unveil it
Since when was it not?
It's the avoidance of the timer that is not ok.
And also, it's a NPC ship we're talking about, no feelings were hurt during the combat log.
Well, it's hardly a new complaint that T9s don't evade very well (until you 'git gud' - and even then)
I've read the op and I'm quite sure he's complaining about something else...
Possibly a different game entirely.
I am sorry to tell you this, but you are just bad at the game. Learn to play, ask nicely for advice and get better. Or continue cheating and posting rants on the forum. The latter is certainly more fun.no matter what ship i use. With my anaconda, with full of hull reinforcement's it would take the cheater AI 20 seconds to destroy me instead of just 10. And i'm sure it's not possible to evade this interdiction, with the most manouverable ship too, as it is scripted.
Or else how can i evade 99% of the normal interdictions without much problem, WITH T9 too? ( that 1% is when i press galaxy map hotkey/hit windows button, and such things
Yes they use chaff and SCB, as many (unlimited ammo) which is not possible for a player, because the AI is cheating. Yes i can deal with them, but it's clear that the AI have superpowers that players can't have. This heavy cheating ruins the illusion, it's like the catch-up cheating in Need for speed games, which was so brightly visible. AI cheating should be hidden. But since few updates the next step to advertise cheating is only a big text around the AI ships, which says "hey im cheating
Wait....
Does'nt that have an interdiction multiplier that makes it easier to escape?
I've seen video evidence that NPCs don't use unlimited chaff and SCBs. This has also been confirmed by a developer. If someone claims they are doing it he is probably just bad at the game.
The AI IS cheating, that's a fact, even if you hide your eyes.
As i wrote about three times, i can kill them, but even if i pop them, it's clear that they are cheating. I can't engineer my modules even at level 5 to do such thing that they do, because the AI is cheating, and i'm not.
I see they are cheating while using FDL, or Anaconda, or T9 even if they are no problem to me. As i very rarel take missions, i don't see the mega cheater AI, just the simple cheaters, but still clearly visible, even if i pop them in row
They get stacks of chaff..
Thats about it. To be honest i think the AI is laughably stupid. It's not hard to get in bounties by simply shooting ships a bit then coaxing them into asteroids.
Trust me the ED AI NEEDS some cheats. Dumb as a bag of rocks.
