It's no where near as bad as it used to be. I quit ED right when horizons came out due to how terrible interdictions where. In a pure trade ship T9 I literally couldn't do one leg of an ABA without getting interdicted. Combine this with the interdiction bug that made the same npc interdict you over and over in a loop (npcs weren't getting dropped from super cruise when they failed an interdiction like players do) and the bug where interdictions would pop the second you drop out of hyperspace causing you to plunge into a star (this happened if they tried to interdict you in the previous system but you jumped just before it activated so it would make the interdiction pop the sec you drop out by the new star) and it was terrible.
i just came back a couple weeks ago and you can actually evade interdictions easily now when before it was almost impossible.
