Horizons Problems Interdicting

[Cuddles McDeath]

I played this game pretty consistently for about 400 hours until this past August due to work and other gaming interests. Came back to the game a few weeks ago after the guardians update came out. When I go bounty hunting, I use a Vulture with an "A" rated FSD Interdictor. Back in August and prior, I generally had no problem interdicting other ships when I was performing bounty hunting or assassination missions. Probably about a 90% percent rate. Currently however, with the same ship and same set up, after 30 tries, I have had no success at all interdicting ships. What I don't understand is that when I have the target reticule on my opponent, my bar keeps decreasing while theirs constantly decreases (and rapidly). Has something changed since the Guardian update that changed the mechanics of interdiction? I can understand missing every so often, but the last few days it has felt ridiculous.

Any thoughts? Advice?

Thanks in advance!

Where is your throttle set when you do this?

I lodged a ticket for this same issue. Interdictions with my own modded FSD interdictor stopped working since 2.2 dropped. Not seen any reply on this issue. Dare I say as usual?

I guess I'm an outlier. I have no problems interdicting. I only use a A rated stock interdictor. I notice that you do have to keep the circle a little bit longer in the center with this update. Also my throttle is usually in the mid blue
but I adjust constantly to maneuver the target circle. Sometimes no throttle sometimes full.

Its a problem since the Guardians update. Throttle?? Lol

I'm usually at full throttle. Did see the other recent thread regarding this issue. I should go back and see if I can get it to work being in sweet spot with regard to throttle, and maybe try simple rudder moves.

It seems that changed that too, for worse.

I love a challenge I'm going to play chess .

Yes I've read some posts on these forums that say they are going to give up pirating due to the changes in 2.2, and the #1 reason being the new difficulty interdicting. FYI.
