That's it! I have had enough and I am not going to take it anymore!

HurstLlama · Jul 11, 2015

Funds are low and for the past couple of days I have been pottering about in my flying brick (aka T6) trying to do some peaceful trading. I have stayed within my faction's space and not said, boo to a goose; I am not even armed for goodness sake. However, She (aka The Lady, aka Ms. Avory) has been repeatedly sending her minions after me. Being interdicted now and again, I am happy with; being interdicted once every trip, I can live with; but being interdicted multiple times on the same journey between the entry point and the starport is taking the pi ss. When that happens on almost every trade run I start to get cross. Now, on my last trip I was interdicted five (count 'em, 5) bleedin' times in a 900Ls journey.

Enough is enough. I have tied up the T6 and got out the Vulture. I have ripped out the discovery scanner and installed a frame shift interdictor. I am going hunting the Avory minions and I am loaded for bear. Oh, and that hoity-toity old trout, Winters can expect some serious undermining too.

Don't get mad, get even. In space.

Nice to see some positive mental attitude, don't be a target, go out and find some of your own. Now that IS power play!

It's like Michael Douglas going mental in that movie

I know; I have sacrificed some cargo space and jump range so I can thoroughly whoop any interdicting sorry a.. enemy who is stupid enough to cross me.
As you say, cmdr: Enough is Enough!

Cheers!

I thick interdictions should be dangerous but less frequent, maub like the first version of the game on public release.

Interdictions at the moment are so frequent that they become meaningless, like a chore. And so frequent that they seem "unreal", like a scripted event that occurs over and over.

Dangerous pirate attacks yes, but infrequent. Right now is like more than 50% of pilots are pirates, and that actually breaks immersion.

What type of systems was your trade run in? What was the level of security?

On a slightly serious point, do you know the Security levels of the system(s) you are being interdicted in please? It should be fewer in High security (in theory) than in Low security. Just curious if you noticed more attacks in one security type than another.
