Ehhh. The weaknesses of this game come to the forefront as soon as you try to experience the best things.
Some clipper is ganking trade ships. He is up to a 180k bounty as of now when I logged off. I tried to catch him for nearly 2 hours. In my python, I never once masslocked him. He low waked every time I interdicted him and his charge time was fast. Way too fast for a ship that's masslocked. He was well within 4.5km at the time of jumping. Even worse, on numerous occasions of interdicting him, I'd be in a completely empty instance. Or he'd be there, low wake right away, and I'd go back to SC and he's not there and I am in a completely alone SC instance. I'd drop back to local space and go back to SC and he'd be there just coming back from killing another type 6.
I even started chatting with another commander who, before I even mentioned it, asked me if I was hunting the clipper that could not be masslocked. He was in a wing of 3.
This is why people play solo/private group. He's not even pirating. He's just killing any weak ships. Mostly type-6's from what I saw. We could hardly drop on his low wake before he was back out into SC with slightly higher bounty than before. He's basically killing off trader ships with impunity.
This is slowly going to kill the game for me. There's no reason for me to commit my time to trying to protect a system like this with so many technical issues in the game in addition to some pretty suspicious lack of masslocking. I hope Star Citizen makes it a lot harder to be a criminal than this game does.
