I'm playing in Solo. So I went exploring in my Daimondback Explorer (no weapons by the way). And I got interdicted
4 times in the same system, by the same @#$*%& NPC. What the hell was this all about??????
I barely got away. Is this normal?
(never won any of these interdiction games)
My favourite trick is getting them to sun dive, get real close to the sun, turn your to wards it and then wait. As they try to get behind you they will hit the sun and you rarely hear from them again. Clearly you can't do this unless you encounter them soon after jumping in though.
That is perfectly normal.

To be honest it may be a good time to get good at the interdiction mini game.
I was reading the notes on 2.3 and it looks like pirate behaviour has been made more agggressive. They'll now open fire on you if you boost away to avoid their scans at just 1km if I understand correctly. This combined with the fact that the game is now much more stable (my god that galaxy map loads quick!) could be trouble for those who rely on the "submit &a'boost" tactic.
Wouldn't want to have a Clipper or FDL after me in 2.3.
FD should put up the interdiction mini game as one of the training videos, it's not that hard to beat and it's quicker than opting for submission.
I just lost my ship, tried to run but he got me in 123...no fun in that, so now everybody is going to have weapons and fight and STILL loose (credits & time) ?? What's the point, only a time eating thing that i dont want to play. I have a metal plate in my wrest and just can't do all these maneuvers all the time.
I had the same thing on ATS (truck sim game) where they made the runs soooo boringly long that it is not funny anymore to play it.
Btw, what is "interdiction mini game" ?
Thanks cmdr's keep on going !

I had a mission NPC follow my Type-7 through six systems (and three cargo deliveries, to boot!) last night, and I had no difficulties evading interdiction. He even followed me into the no-fire zone of the mission starport, at which point the neighborly SAVs kindly asked him to stop.Are they harder in cargo ships? I've never managed to fail an interdiction against NPCs, but then, I'm not flying a Type 9.
