When a player interdicts you has anyone tried cutting power to thier ships FSD, I was wondering if it breaks the interdiction and either throws you together in local space or apart in different locations, normally I just submit boost and wake but was thinking about this if it throws you in a different area to the other player and if they suffer the same 40 sec penalty for a failed interdiction it would make could escape easier
Interdictions Question

I suspect shutting down the FSD aside from resulting in damage to the FSD module, would just drop you into normal space along with your interdictor, much like submitting, only faster. Then you'd have to power it back on and wait for the FSD reboot before you could wake out.
Try it, see what happens. Ask a friend to interdict you out in Anarchy space.
Personally I like playing Interdiction Tag out in anarchy space - get a group together, take turns interdicting and evading. It's great practice and it's actually kind of fun.
I will give it a try when I get back on my PC be a bit of fun experimenting 
just thought I better ask in here first as I was sure someone may have tried this already

That makes sense. Case closed.

No, not case closed - this is exactly what I do when interdicted by cmdrs.
As stated, I cut power to my FSD every time. Frontier have rather unfortunately overlooked this in the mechanics of the game, hence in IRL the process can be effected by cutting power to my PC - or as us RPers call it, the 'ship's power plant' - this, along with my moped helmet, Lycra catsuit & limited social interaction make me one of the most committed RPers in the community.
I look forward to the rep & positive comments for my immersive playstyle!
