Lost everything because of a random AI Interdiction for an empty cargo hold

I just lost my type 9 freighter, and the 100+ million credits I poured into it, because I was helping a friend with a cargo run, and the messed up AI interdiction jumped me for my empty cargo hold as I went to go complete the contract. I wish they would update the interdictions so it doesn’t attack you when you have nothing in your cargo, and if you do get blown to bits, that it just puts you at the nearest station, not one 500 light years away from whatever station you were next to that had whatever mission reward waiting for you. Like I just lost A weeks worth of grinding out money in 10 seconds to be stranded 500 light years away from my mission reward, it’s honestly game breaking

There is a whole lot going on here that the OP has not mentioned in his post, Hmmmm To be spawned 500 Ly away....Wanted? Interdicted with no cargo....Wanted? Had a Criminal Record?

Cmdr, it a Dangerous Galaxy out there, never take your eye off the ball, or you will get you bottom bittern.

No criminal record, no bounties, just got interdicted and before I could even react to the escape vector I dropped out and then immediately lost shields and got destroyed. I may have exaggerated the distance, but it’s taking me like 20 jumps to reach my destination from where I spawned

Oh please. You broke the first rule. Don’t fly without Rebuy. After earning 100M you can’t say you didn’t know. You also could (should) have built a better ship but you intentionally built it to maximize profits. You knew you were taking a chance and lost. Working on your piloting skills would have also helped for sure.

Game breaking? Nope. No game should be criticized for multiple bad choices by the player. Not buying it. Look in the mirror and learn from your mistakes.

As you can see, OP, you won't get any sympathy from the fierce and loyal ED fanbase. Game is fine, it's basically perfect; it's you that is in error.

Reality is that this simple AI script that runs doesn't know jack about anything, and you'll be interdicted repeatedly because the fanbase loves it - they call it "content". It's a cheap mechanic. And adds nothing.

Probably better to start looking at other forms of entertainment as after 5-6 years this one hasn't changed.
