Warning klaxxon when Interdicted

AlexV · May 4, 2019

Is there an option for a warning Klaxxon when your ship is interdicted. Sometimes I am not paying attention or I step away for a minute and it happens. Would be nice to have a warning sound.

There already is a sound effect for it.

Could the klaxon be augmented with Red rotating emergency lights in the cockpit?

I don't think the game is designed for AFK play.

Oh, I dunno, If you ever go get a Hutton mug you can 'set and forget'... to a degree, you've time to do the shopping, or even catch up on an episode or two of your favourite soap, that said, in the good ol' days of the ADS I'd punch in a trip to scan a planet many hundreds of kls away and set about an alternate task in the real world only to return and find I had twice the original distance to travell back after overshooting...lol

You've never spent +10 min in SC, have you?
If anything is meant to be AFK'd in ED it's SC.

Granted, the SC assist, if it works, does cut down on the overshooting from semi-afk'ing it, but the point that it takes forever to accelerate and decelerate still stands.

The current interdiction sound effect is quite enough thanks - still makes me jump after 4 years.

I have AFK'ed plenty. I just don't think the developers will ever design features to make it so obvious that players are doing that, as if they condone it.

Same. Especially if you're doing something else and not paying attention.

Of course. I did the Smeaton runs until it was nerfed, and did the Hutton CG. Made several trips to Hutton Orbital.

So yeah I have spent plenty time in SC.

I cannot see FDev saying "Elite:Multitasking"
