Help needed with defending my Cutter from T7's

Hi all,

Just seen the video. And i must say, it could be(almost) me in the Cutter.
Been Exploring, Trading and mission running a lot in the last 650+ hours and just been able to fight interdictions in my iCutter missile boat.
And can honestly say i absolutely suck at combat. Just beginning to learn the combat aspect of the game.

How can i defend myself from those pesky t7's???
shield boosters, shield tanking, hulltanking, or just get way better with combat maneuvers, or maybe just run run run like hell....
Thanks for helping a scared cutter owner. [yesnod][noob]

Some good weapons loadouts i would appreciate and maybe their engineer mods. Hull and such.
Thanks in advance

Personally I run like hell and the iCutter is quite good at that. Since nothing except another iCutter can mass-lock it, low-waking is a fast option to get out of there.

I've heard Mine Launchers are not bad at keeping those T7's at bay.

The T7 has a fairly large hitbox and the nacelle hardpoints of the Cutter should make for a nicely spread minefield :D

Just keep moving and pop chaff alongside. With Dirty Drives, you should be able to outrun a T7. If all else fails HiWake to safety and hope the T7 doesn't follow xD
 
I actually wish NPCs would be more effective at taking down my iCutter.

Fully RNGineered up, I ofttimes find myself being unresponsive as possible to my interdictor so I'll actually feel the pressure I did when I started playing.

Then I realised it isn't happening, NPCs these days couldn't kill a big ship if they were given a C4 railgun, and...what am I saying?

BOOST INTO DEM NPCS AND WATCH DEM BECOME ONE WITH PANCAKEDOM!

That is all.
 
There is no need to fear T7's. Be aggressive and keep boosting, shot first and you will win.....always.
Deploy your SLF and watch him die :)
 
Sounds, along with the "Myth busted" thread an attempt by griefers to entice people back into their gunsights in a defenceless ("oh no, I'm totally being pwned by your trader in my cutter, i so lame, not a threat at all!") trader.
 
Prior to the AI buff to give them near-perfect evasion skills, my Type-7 was absolutely a death-sentence to any NPC interdiction. Just two high-capacity mine launchers and it didn't matter if they came after me in sidewinders or cutters - they were in for a very bad day.

Now they just get to very watch me run away - my Type-7 is still horribly fast for a flying shipping container.
