Yeah, that would make sense, precisely because there's no way to tell before being out of SC by whom you're being interdicted. So you cannot resist interdiction by a pirate and allow it by a security vessel.

Well, I'm safely out of my Viper for everyone's sake. Lost 2 of them last night and have learned not to take on missions were you have to stir up trouble with Authority vessels. Well if you do, don't open up on them outside the starport!!!

Also managed to boost my second one inside a base, which didn't end well!

Back in my old transit van Hauler again, Viper stored safely away till I can learn to look after myself. So back on the grind again, skint but happy !!

Having a few beers now, well it is Friday, so God only knows what dramas I will get myself into this evening.

So interdictions... I think they're a great addition but right now, be prepared to take immediate evasive maneuvers because you might pop out of supercruise right behind your would be interdictor at high speeds!

I haven't had a single interdiction. And I'm mostly in open play in the core systems. Could it be related to server allocation?

Have you tried going somewhere a bit more tasty such as an anarchy system? Maybe the core systems are safer and therefore the likelihood of interdiction is lower? I could be wrong, I frequently am (but rarely admit it :P )

I've only had 1 interdiction but I've mostly pootled about the starting area so far in Beta 3 due to a lack of time!

I must admit I'm not paying much attention to where I fly. Just were the bulletin board takes me. :)

I tend to be the same with regards the board. I pick up the highest value missions I can and just go. I'm still saving for an ASP and I'd love to try the Clipper but at £26 million I doubt I'll get to it before Gamma.

Yeah. I'm not bothered with the money right now either. On full release I will be gunning for the full Monty. The Ani with a Sidewinder in its belly, and a Federal Dropship stashed away somewhere of course... And an Asp for good measure. Ooooh. Can't wait. :)
