Well I just played the mini game and it's still broke. I have a really good internet connection but do see some stutter in other parts of ED sometimes so maybe it's a timing thang because I was constantly in the target and never did register as me doing so. I have also had an instant interdiction by NPC today with a brief view of mini game but straight in to attack mode.
I do pretty well at the mini game when I do play it and was hoping for a fix this patch but guess not.

Um, yup. Having "submitted" to interdictions being a necessity at all. So annoying, although it seems I was waiting to chuck my teddy across the room at something tonight, must be the missus having had a go at me for playing too much Elite. Apologies all, I am currently sitting on my metaphorical hands.

It's a decent config, but I've been taken to task by Pythons before, especially since the aggression went through the roof. If memory serves, 40% hull damage costs about 1.8 million creds. Which is 4 runs, during which you can get interdicted a lot.
So to be clear OP, we're talking about Standard FSD Cooldown and the things that happens when you do not submit to Interdiction and lose, being different.
So currently, as of now...if you submit to Interdiction, you just have to wait the 10+ seconds before FSD can charge again?
Cross everything no future update does.
It wasnt gossip I was simply repeating what I had seen in game, and was asking if others had seen the same. No gossip involved.
which was throttle to zero>submit>FSD was taking 40 plus seconds to cool down before I could use it, instead of the short cool down period.

this is not true. i made this video to test the python, but i flew badly and was spamming SCBs for the entire fight. The 2nd to 4th SCB charges were initiated and kicked in during heavy fire. The only timer was the 5 seconds scb charge up time introduced with 1.1

Submitted three times today, got the short cooldown each time.
I'm unsure as to how this is relevant in the current landscape? All NPCs are set to interdict and attack everything, before you even get to the PvP situation.
Fixed that for you
wierdness then on my end, the whole point of the thread was to get confirmation on this one way or another at least we know now
No it doesnt.
You said this happened in an anarchy system (4 times). Maybe it's restricted to anarchy systems only? Confirmation would be nice.
But, Sandro Sammarco considers submitting, then charging their FSD 5 seconds later an "exploit".
His remarks:
Submission escape: we are looking into two potential solutions to the ability for ships to submit then charge their frame shift five seconds later.
Solution one is to allow the interdictor device to have some sort of FSD delaying attack in normal space...
No ETA, but we are working towards fixing this exploit.

No ETA, so could be anytime, or never.
I apologize. That was not directed at you, but rather how the thread had devolved.
No changes have been made to the system, here is proof for anyone that isn't able to test it currently

Although there is a rumour (dev comment on some post) that this will be changed in 1.2 to actually have a 40 sec CD even if immediately submitting.

Fair enough, and you've got the video to prove it. I could have _sworn_ that Michael or Sandro (pretty sure it was Michael) said exactly the behavior I stated in one of the threads right around the time that the 1.1 beta testing got started. It was that (mistaken? misremembered? misunderstood?) statement that made me start seriously testing turrets right after 1.1 dropped.
I wish the forum search would allow searching for strings in posts by (named dev). I spent about 20 minutes digging through likely suspects from around that time frame and can't find the quote I'm thinking of.
EDIT: What I say in the quoted bit is based on misremembering a beta 1.1 statement by Sandro Sammarco. I conflated two paragraphs in memory. Shields _do_ have a "momentary" delay after each hit before they start recharging. However, SCBs are not affected in any way by this shield regen delay. Original quote by Sandro here.
