Just to be clear though, If I am interdicted by these pricks, can I engage? Or should I just leg it. TBH I mostly fly unarmed when I'm trading and rely upon running away.However if I'm in my Vulture....
You cannot and must not fire the first shot or you become the aggressor. Officially the word is not to retaliate either because they may (successfully) paint you as the bad guy. My personal approach is that any confirmed threat, that is one that has been reported by others AND either attacked me with intent (not accidental fire) and/or witnessed attacking with intent other commanders, will be handled accordingly. This is not an approach I recommend for those inexperienced with PvP, as your ships and likely your combat skills will probably not be up to the task (totally different flying style, and ship loadout is necessary). Running is the best option.
