So started seriously playing yesterday and got my way up to 70k roughly selling this and that but now due to losing two cargo holds of gold im wiped down to the start, here is my problem.. I cannot hyperdrive away from freeport.

There is a certain commander who is preventing me leaving and all I want are some tips for getting away.

I accelerate out of the door to the spacestation at full power all pips to engines engine boosting as well, but I can never get far enough away from him to engage hyperdrive Im careful to watch how fast the engines are charging if its too slow I turn them off but I end up overheating/getting shot all the same.

I have tried leaving a few times now with an empty cargo hold, still no luck

anyone have any tips?

2 things comes to my mind.

Sneak out from the station at slow speed and go close to the stations hull to the other side and then boost away. If he attack he will hit the station and il guess then the station will fire on him. Maybe silent running out of the station to make it harder for him to track you.

Second. Just avoid the system, do trades in other system. If all did that he would be left alone there and soon get bored. Risk is he would move to another area to find preys.

Well you could log out then back in again to a different server so your not on the same one?

If it were me...

He's waiting outside the no fire zone I assume?
Launch, go to silent running and slip around the back of the station.

The 4 pips to engine and boost.

Save and quit the game, rejoin and check till you have different server. Hopefully you shouldn't bump into the same guy.

Not quite sure how he can always be there. Save. And quit until you get a different server, name and shame (oh how I miss the Exaga/Snuffler/Yan days) ;) or better still come out and fight, ram him if you have to

How far out are you before you get attacked?
If you're not getting picked off straight out of the entrance, or perhaps even if you are, you could always try leaving with a low heat signature. Once clear of the cattle grid pull up and stay close to the side of the station until you get round the other side and then drift away with FA off until you get far enough to SC out of there. Power up and then super cruise away. A heat sink launcher would probably help.
Even Freeport has a no fire zone so if your attacker shoots and misses he/she will probably hit the Corolis and then hopefully will have a whole load of other trouble to deal with.

Might work?

In game comms and grouping are on the way.

Tooled up PKers may find themselves targets in the near future.

Don't go to anarchy system if you don't how to escape blockade :)

But yeah, going closely around station body in different direction could be enough to get into supercruise. Don't try to get into hyperjump at all costs, supercruise don't require target to get into.

Click to expand...

Indeed, I'd say get on to the skype chat / teamspeak server wherever and say Commander BLAH is blockading me, please help. I am sure a bunch of folks would dive in if they're around...

I spent some time policing Freeport this afternoon. There was an Eagle hanging around with weapons deployed. He eyed up my Cobra suspiciously then started opening up on a sidewinder so I had a few fights with him. Took him out twice, one time we rammed each other (which cost me a fair bit). He kept re-spawning at Freeport so I'm assuming he's not paying his insurance premium either ;-)

My experience is generally that people moving about the station have weapons stowed and just carry about the business of docking. I'm not usually lucky enough to find naughty pirates there.

Didn't get any bounties though, and the station attacked me when I accidentally slipped inside the firezone. Also he might have been using kinetic shields as only my pulse laser appeared to do real damage.
