Hi all, I'm not an expert fighter, probably you know what happened to me! I was interdicted by an Eagle, usually an easy fight for me. I sow lots of white objects probably launched from Eagle, I wasn't able to open fire, recharge shields, countermeasures, nothing of nothing!!!! I Was only able to run away with my hull at 75%, fortunately....!!!

Sounds like you have added some stuff and your deployed power requirements exceeds your power available so shutting down systems

Check on the outfitiing screen what you power availability is

The white stuff the eagle was launching is chaff. If you have gimbals or turret weapons they simply won't work anymore. Shields and countermeasures could have to do with power management, meaning deploying hardpoints could have dragged enough power to shut off your power management system, basically disabling everything on your ship besides your thrusters.

Or it was armed with dumbfires (lots of white objects)

Damage to player subsystems also seems to have been giving a bit of a nudge, so if you got some powerplant damage, depending on your power priorities, your weps/systems might have been disabled

I dont think this is a power supply problem. I've had it happen too, although not in combat. I've also had instances where not only does the ship ignore controls but also initiates its own. E.G launching from a station it immediately goes into reverse when released from the pad and I cant stop it. Have to quickly close the game and restart before it gets damaged. Other times my ship seems locked with a thruster on (usually the downward thruster) Nothing I do will stop it except log out and back in.

Yesterday I had the situation that the ship would ignore any throttle commands (the rest would still work).
After randomly going through menus (without changing something), suddenly it worked again.

I also have Class A sensors, I don't fight much, but I didn't encounter a situation so far where my gimballed weapons where not able to lock on for a period longer than a few seconds.

I had a similar issue a few days ago with railguns on a T6. I aint a dummy so I had plenty of power for them, and an A class power distributor so they had enough juice to run. I was attacked by the AI and every single time I tried to fire nothing happened. I whacked 4 pips in to weapons, but nada. Plenty of ammo, plenty of power, just zero weapons fire. And no not thermal overheat either, the weapons would "wind up" to fire and just not fire. Instead they just ran down the rest of the weapon power and did nothing when triggered.

Sold the weapons and put on lasers/cannons and had no problems. No idea why the would not fire. Hell even the AI was giving the usual "i dont wanna die" and "this is bad im outa here" speeches when I had "guns on" so it thought I was shooting at it.

Try alt tab back to Windowd then clicking on elite from taskbar. That has usually sorted it for me on the od time its happened.
