AHHas something changed in how Interdiction works? I had 2 weird interdiction where I was following the escape vector perfectly but just in few seconds, I was dropped out of FTL. Never happened before. Now I had 2 of those in 2 days. Firs joker is pushing up daisies somewhere and the second one was a no show.




Did you submit?



Hell no.
But, I do not have any idea how to do that. I guess you need to miss the escape vector or something.


If you zero your throttle during interdiction you will automatically submit. So is it possible you closed your throttle whilst you chased the escape vector?

Interesting. Maybe. I think it's possible.
Good news is, it earned me >250K for blowing up that clown.

In which case it's an advantage that you submitted, the drop from super cruise is less brutal allowing you to initiate combat quicker, and no cool down on your drives just in case it goes pear-shaped on you.

Today is truly auspicious day for AXMCs, they earned me the decorated hero medal. The war with goids are coming to the end but I still hope to take down 2 more medusas and 1 hydra and whatever lesser goids come in between.

Hi,

I'm stuck in The Penitent Pleiades Sector HR-W d1-79 with a Python that is only good for Passenger runs between Robigo and Sirius Atmospherics. I cant get a tax out of there any ideas how I can get back?

I could transfer my Diamond Back Explorer maybe and use that to jump back then play around with moving ships?

I never submit to interdiction. There is no need for it because it can be avoided by following the escape vector thing.

There's a third system im that loop that has an outfitting section and shipyard. You should be able to grab a dbx and get outa there safely. Else, have a friend pick ya up!

Edit: The system is Ceos, Babbage Gateway will have your stuff

Edit 2: Dolphin will have to do, dbx isn't for sale anymore at Babbage Gateway

Miner WillyMy Latest toy, the Vainglorious Heart


It's gilt-edged, glamorous and sleek by design
it's got its sharp edges, hidden inside
It's hard, unrestrained and it's totally cool
It teases and it pleases as you're cruising through the starlight

Over half a billion spent so far on her, and still more engineering to go, just because she's the prettiest boat in the shipyard.





Noice, you got a loicens for that?


EDSY link?

Na jacked it.

Edsy Link

Thinking of ditching the cargo bays and swapping to luxury cruise ship.

Nice! Maybe put the corrosive shell experimental on those multi cannons. They look awesome on the way to the target and seem to shred the hull really well when shields are already down. Incendiary rounds are also good and also strip shields.

I have to unlock few more useful engineers to get 5* level work done. Mindless grind.

Been wondering that myself. And no. No sign yet...

Anyone else having problems jumping between systems? I'm way out in the black and FSD charges to full but ship won't jump. Keep getting in-game "failed to connect to server" messages in my inbox too...
Solved. Had to Task Manager out of the game and reload. (Even Escape had stopped working).

Very rarely, it comes from servers or DNS, other than that if your system is serviced and your connection secured the game should run smoothly, I'm at 89.8 FPS and 12 ms average Max Graphic settings doing mostly CZs.
