I would recommand you some drive tuning and a good powerdistributor. The ASP is already a fast ship, if you can improve her speed above 420m/s you can outrun even a Clipper
So fed up with interdiction spam

Well it got me finally
I was very successful in escaping interdictions and fighting when I could but yesterday for the first time I finally got killed (in the NPC inderdictions) and I was in... Corvette
Situation was a bit crazy. I was running a few missions and all of them had a "target". And basically at one point I submited to one target and fought him (Dangerous Anaconda). Killed him but he did some damage to my shields when other 2 poped in and started hammering (Deadly Anaconda and Deadly FAS).
"Warning, Thermal Attack, Gaining Heat", "Warning, Impulse Attack", crack, crack, crack...
It was not a big problem since I would jump immediately but I was late on sensors and immediately when my shields went off I got a canopy breach. 7:30 is not much time to TRY and kill 2 engineered ships so I went for the nearest station but didnt make it since every jump I would be interdicted after 4-5 seconds.
I high waked at 2:some min left and set course to 300ls station but again interdicted every few seconds before I could get to the station. I was closing in on the station and even had the docking computer but 11, 10, 9...
Lost a lot of cartographics and about 90 tons of Engineer cargo and almost 30mil rebuy. I was upgrading the ship and most of the cargo was actually few items but in larger quantities. Extreme fury but I just went away, cooled down a bit and accepted that I was killed by almighty NPC who has instant Friendship drive Also it is a BIT weird that when your shields are UP it has no effect on the canopy timer... I mean... Force field can help with the atmosphere?
There were some mistakes on my part but nobody, NOBODY can explain how NPC is managing to interdict every 5 sec after low waking and with even trying some manouvers to not be in front of him all the time... Good times. Wont happen again.
EDIT: I was even thinking about "combat logging" just not to lose the cargo and cartohraphics the NPC lol but didnt I would have died anyway because of the timer...

I have made a Bug-Report after my last....experience with this interdiction spawn-behavior ans it looks like we can look forward for 2.2 for some serious changes in this mechanic

Hmm - "we're making changes to NPC behavior in 2.2"... They did that before and almost killed the game with Skynet NPC AI. I think I'll stay away from Elite Dangerous for about a month after 2.2 releases and let them work out the balance again.
