I was hauling in my T9 and was intridicted which is no problem but the same npc kept coming. Everywhere i went this daisy dog would come at me. I jump in my T10 which was close and i figure let her try me now. I submit ready to destroy her... she is in a Anaconda and she is elite... i am barely combat ranked. She got the better of me after a good battle. I was ed so i went and got my vette and destroyed her easily cause it engineered and beautiful. Now i jump and bam another Anaconda and then another.. every time i would go in supercruise i would attact a interidiction. I jump into my dbx no weapons no cargo and i am still be intridicted by an anaconda and they just immediatetly start shooting at me. Sorry for the long message just wanted to be clear. Is this a bug or something out of wack. Did i off a npc pirate faction. Its almost as if they have a grudge or its a glitch. And info is apprciated.
Need advice. Intridiction

Don't submit unless you have the ability to kill what you submit to. Win the interdiction game and they don't keep coming at you (though they may return after a time).
It does sound like you had a mission based npc after you however.

Did you defect from a powerplay faction? That causes agents to hunt you for a fixed time. Or maybe take a mission with “hostile ships may be sent after you?”. Or maybe you’ve just got a bounty you hadn’t noticed? You might get a hint from what they say before interdicting you.
Sometimes delivery missions can get heavy on the interdictions. Best bet is to win the interdiction game, or submit immediately and high wake.
I’m sure you already know, but fwiw winning the minigame in a t9 is a bit tricky but doable reliably; just use the yaw as well as pitch and roll. You can win 10/10 after a bit of practice, and once you’ve won, that npc won’t be able to interdict you again for a while.

I beat the mini game 99% of the time its just getting annoying cause for the most part if u don't have any cargo they leave but these npc pirates shoot right away.
can someone direct me on how to get frontier support help on this issue. hate to complain about it but being intridicted every time i hit supercruise is making this game unplayable. i like the mini game of shaking the intridiction but not so much when i am just trying to get around in the galaxy with no mission or hauling cargo... i mean seriously every time i am in supercruise. and i figure let me submit and they will see i am harmless with no cargo but nope they just open fire and then i have to scramble and get away.
If it's the same named NPC chasing you across multiple systems, it is a mission related enemy. They will try to kill you no matter what. Pay attention when you take a mission-- if you're taking an Elite ranked mission, you may get attacked by Elite ranked enemies. Any other time, on a regular cargo run with no mission attached, you should be chased by NPCs based on your combat rank/ship value.
Look up the 'git gud guide to trading in open' and follow the advice there. Should cover how to escape danger.

My technique to evade almost all NPC interdictions:
1) Set a keybind for 25% throttle.
2) Set throttle controls to 10% increments (can't recall exact section/location in keybinds menu).
3) As soon as you get the interdiction warning, hit the 25% throttle key + the S key to lower throttle to 15%.
4) Depending on which side the escape vector goes, hit either A or D to start rolling (spinning) towards it.
This will allow you to better aim and maintain your course on the escape vector reticle. Most of the time you won't even need to pitch up/down much, just keep rolling with A and D and the scape vector will remain right in front of you.
This works for me almost every time, even when hauling cargo in my fully loaded T9 or Cutter.
Hope it helps. o7

no help to be obtained as far as provided info is concerned.
its already been said, you are being followed because of a mission or similar. this is part of the game
if you look at your missions and find the ones that are actually even giving you the names of the npc's coming next.....drop those missions, or do what you did once already
get in a fighter and kill until there are no names left on ANY of the missions you have that have not told us about, other than you are hauling...
or get good at the minigame or evasion or both or all the above.
and next time you fly into a system, pay close attention to any messages you might get. They are often warnings..
It is actually a very important part of the game.

I have no mission or cargo and there still chasing. i am up at Rackham Peak and luna whatever bleep her name is still chasing me up there and thats over 5k from the bubble.
like i said no cargo no mission in my transaction tab. i killed original pirate chasing me and then 4 others and now i just go and win the mini game but its getting annoying ever time i hop in supercruise this pirate npc is intricdicting me. and if i drop out they shoot right away. they say i have a big haul or they have been looking for me but i have nothing in my ship.

up here at the peak i do have cargo in my ship but normally i am empty just trying to go from system to system.
So do you, or do you not have cargo?
I am sensing that the next pirate attack may not be a NPC
the over 15 times before no but since yesterday i have a load of tritium and only jump once up at he peak and got intricdicted by the same npc pirate.
before going to the peak anytime i would jump in supercruise almost before i come to my destination bam mini game. everytime with no cargo no mission. its annoying as hell
Did you have limpets? (they count as cargo)
i can guarantee you that even if i didn't have cargo at the peak it wouldn't have change. this luna whatever her name is npc pirate would still harrase me. i am convinced its a bug
no limpets. nothing
and when i confront the original pirate with my vette i destroyed her. jump to supercruise and bam another anaconda pirate so i destroyed her jump to supercruise and another. i got to the 4th and knew i probably wouldn't survive another fight so i beat the mini game and got to my station
i think i know why. do u think its cause i have not claim the bounty money. i usually just claim after a while. i kind of like when it builds up.
It's more likely that you have annoyed a faction enough that their ships will see you as an enemy.
