NPCs cheating with the interdiction minigame

I have been running into NPC trying to interdict me when doing smuggling, which is expected and finding it sometimes impossible to win the minigame.

The escape vector jumps off your screen so you are MILES off course for escape, instantly failing the minigame.

I lost 5 missions I picked up from Fehu because I was dropped from supercruise by police with the above happening.

What the heck is happening?
 
Had 4 smuggling missions from MAIA, got interdicted 11 times before I finally made it to the first location only to find I was scanned and all 4 were failed. I don't know if the new severity level was intended to be that high or not but I wont bother with them until something changes. Not worth the trouble.
 
You're right, it is a known issue that occurs, randomly and frustratingly.

The wrong answer is just accept the interdiction and then FSD away. There is no point in having the mini game acquainted with said "issue" if it doesn't work properly. If that was the intention then there wouldn't be a mini game and you would immediately be pulled to slowspace.

I had to log in to comment how ridiculous it is that the average user tells you to work around the issue instead of agreeing that it needs to be fixed.

Please don't rep me if you agree that these issues are idiotic, and agree with my sentiment. instead post in agreement to the issue at hand, interdictions aren't functioning as intended. Show your support, voice your concern in the game receiving updates handling the plethora of broken and unfinished mechanics.
 
I really dont mind interdictions that are actually functioning as intended, but when they are glitching out like this its horrible.

I actually don't mind when this happened and its just a pirate / psycho who dont scan you but when its police and they DO it sucks.

I agree that the interdictions are broken and something should be done about it. I would even accept and explanation as to WHY its happening if a fix will take a while.
