Elite: Game talk

And you do not want to eat an entire Medusa or Hydra Thargon swarm, because that will absolutely destroy your entire ship in a second, unless it’s like a Corvette or Cutter with a super beefed up prismatic shield.
For reference, swarm agitation occurs when it passes around a ship or a ship passes through it. Same mechanism should theoretically reset it but feels inconsistent when there are NPCs involved that care about avoiding swarms as much as a bull leaves a china shop intact.

I am getting more comfortable with it all though. I was in Low AXCZs at least five times today; twice in Solo, twice in Open, and twice in a duo with a friend.
Interceptors are tough for me, currently, at least in Solo/Private. I can get a couple hearts taken out myself, but eventually have to bug out (after a few 20 km retreat-repair-rearm-reengage-repeat). I did not have to rebuy ever though (so far), so that's nice.
I'm sure it will all come with practice and I'm looking forward to that practice!
