Well, I used the throttle in my last 3 evenings. In the first 2 evenings, I had the best results I ever had since 1.4 debuted. So, I was really starting to think that the throttle did matter. However, I found that I had to keep it off all the time to win my interdictions. Initially, I tried to increase the throttle when I had the dot in the middle of the target reticle but found it was making me veering off. So, I kept it all the way down as soon as the interdiction was starting. The 2nd evening, I even had the best undermining session I ever had since 1.4, managed a 65% success rate, still by cutting the throttle. But yesterday was a complete disaster. I managed only 20% and those I interdicted were not even PowerPlay targets, so I ended up my session with zero merit.
So, now, I'm not so sure about the throttle, to be honest. I feel there is something with my network connection that makes the interdictions harder or easier. I don't feel I have much control over it once it starts. Of course, I can aim and yaw and pitch and roll but as I'm moving the targets is already off, sometimes jumping left and right. I'm guessing now that during my first 2 evenings trying the throttle, my network connection must have been better than usual, while yesterday, it was worst. Just a guess from my observation, nothing scientific.

Well, it's been more than a week now that 1.4 has been released and still no word from Frontier. I wonder what their definition of soon is...
