None of the transport ships can survive the current balance. There is no choice. Once you're interdicted, that's pretty much it - or a high waked, which makes it tedious, repetitive process.
A Cutter thats well armoured, has decent shields is very survivable, not to mention age old HW techniques (and proper defensive flying). Plus what about wings with someone flying a combat vessel?
Why? You are alive- its a mistake to think that every situation has to end with you getting your way.
So, how does one land at a station? Go solo? Seems reasonable.
The last person to yell at me on inara was an enemy powerplay pledge I killed in one of my power's systems, accusing me of griefing for blowing up their shieldless, unarmed T9.
I don't use my T9 in any place where I'm expecting to see player opposition. I have other ships with slightly lower cargo space that are much more survivable in hostile environments. If I'm expecting to see "Fully engineered gankboats" then I'd revisit my decision to be in that system at all, much less without a fully engineered (what does that phrase even mean? "Fully engineered" is something people keep trotting out but it could mean anything from lightweight to overcharged and anything in between) ship of my own.
people yell at you on Inara? The world has really gone down the crapper.
Yeah, I even sent them a nice, clear "this is archon space, begone imperial" but apparently that wasn't clear enough or roleplaying enough. Dude even told me he'd reported me to fdev, though obviously nothing came of it since the community safety team are gonna take one look at that report and see one powerplayer killing an enemy powerplayer in one of their own systems and toss the report in the round cabinet on the floor.
lol, as the kids used to say.
Yeah I think certain people are just bad at the game. Submit and highwake, it’s that simple.The issue is that the bias is extremely unpredictable and appears largely latency dependent. The tunnel game itself likely has no bias, but latency compensation does.
The solution to the aggressor advantage is to take another look at how the tunnel game and latency compensation interact. Then, once the underlying mechanisms are sound, the possibility for contextual biases from equipment could be looked at.
That's almost certainly how it's implemented. There is no way Frontier is intentionally biasing the interdiction minigame toward the attacker; it's a side effect.
Latency compensation, which is mandatory for a game where people on the opposite sides of the planet are expected to be able to reliably instance, favors the 'shooter'. In any exchange the attacker's perspective takes precedent, even when all involved are attackers. Everyone sees a slightly different scenario, but if you see a hit on your opponent, your opponent is hit, even if this would be impossible from their perspective. The tunnel game is more one-sided, once it starts it has a fixed aggressor and a defender and the the former takes precedent to prevent lag from being a shield, or just because that's how it works everywhere else. Unfortunately this means the aggressor sets the pace and their wiggling can only be reacted to, often far too late, if pings are high...it's how the tunnel game can end very abruptly for the defender, even when it still looks like they have a chance from their end.
Now I don't know the specific details of Elite: Dangerous' latency compensation, but I know it exists (I've experienced all kinds of shadowrams and desyncs that are highly typical of it...and the fact that I score hits on other CMDRs when I see my shots land, no matter what they see, is hard proof of it), and it there are only a few rational ways it could have been implemented. Of course, in a peer-to-peer game, everyone is a client and a server (though instance hosts get extra server duty), but this doesn't change the basic aspects of what latency compensation is or what it's doing.
Some information on latency compensation, both in general and specific implementations:

Imagine not being able to add anything constructive to a discussion and yet still posting.
Imagine assuming that because someone did not add anything constructive means that they aren't able to do so.
Completely missed the point mate
Disagreeing with your point is NOT missing it.
How about instead of crying on the forums you just got better at the game and stopped asking FDEV to cater to you because you got y at pixels on a screen.
I don't understand what you are trying to ask here in the context of the question.
