NPC interdictions are getting super annoying

[Clazour]

So i was like within 5 Mm of a station, then i get interdicted by a NPC, with the annoying part being the fact that i am pulled 20 ls away from the station. After killing the NPC for a measly 12k bounty, i make my way back to the station. When i am 2 Mm from the station, another f-cking NPC interdicts me, this time pulling me 27 ls away from the staton. After having killed this one, i finally make my way back to the station, but for real. Please do something to make NPC inderdictions less of an annoyance.
My suggestion: When you are interdicted, you aren't pulled away from your current destination, preventing those stupid moments like the one above. (if you are inderdicted 5 Mm from the station, you stay 5 Mm from the station, instead of some unnatural force pulling you 20 ls away)

Sincerly, a very salty Commander.

this only happens to me when i'm busting for a pee...

This even more irritating when it's an enemy power. You don't get anything for blowing them up, even a measly 12k!

Seriously, I'm in the middle of Imperial Space, how are there so many Federal Agents operating with complete impunity. It can sometimes take as long as 30 minutes to reach a station I'm aiming for because of constant interdictions.

Grrrrrrr.

Yeah, while I don't mind being interdicted by NPCs the whole getting set back further away from your destination thing can get annoying.

I take it you do not mean 1/2 cm!

Well the more missions, the more NPC interaction, not sure that is going to change. I used to stack a fair number of legal delivery missions, so not so many NPCs trying to interdict me, but it I used to miss chat messages from friends because of the number of NPCs wanting me to follow their wake.

I understand your frustration though, its not so much the 20LS for me - that does not take long to cover, its the having to line the station up again that annoys me. I am sure there is a good reason why the interdictor pulls you some distance, I cannot think of a good one at the moment - so I agree with your suggestion - until someone cleverer than me comes along with a good reason that is.

First, you probably mean Mm - Megameter, not mm - milimeter

Second, were you running a mission? It happens very often that they are waiting for you near to your destination. Also powerplay vessels do that a lot.
But if you don't do powerplay and missions, you get interdicted like once a day, in my experience.
If you DO run missions and powerplay, however, it's kind of a point fight against somebody, no?

The pullback can be annoying, yes, but then again, the ship that interdicts you is way behind you and pulling you back. Try it and watch two ships fingting in the interdiction . They're all over the place.

edit: Dang, what a ninja.

This is the worst part of PP. I don't play it, so I don't care about PP and I am happy for those who enjoy it. But please remove the stupid agents completely from the game. Just give PP pledge to some regular NPCs so they behave like normal pilots. Would like to start a thread about this but it doesn't seem to be the right time with the upcoming beta.

My suggestion: When you are interdicted, you aren't pulled away from your current destination, preventing those stupid moments like the one above. (if you are inderdicted 55 mm from the station, you stay 5 mm from the station, instead of some unnatural force pulling you 20 ls away)

Yeah. they're a load of dirty rotten bar stewards. I could make twice as much money doing my Robigo runs if FD would stop the interdictions. It must be a bug that there's so many. It's got to be a mistake in the programming because why would FD want to make things harder and less enjoyable than they need to be. The game's broken. I want my money back.

The thing is, it doesn't make the game harder, it's just stupidly annoying being interdicted when you are that close to your destination, and due to the fact that you are pulled away from there, chances are you are going to get interdicted again, and again, and again...
