NumaThe T9 can still fight with mines, but that is dull and boring. I had to run away in my Cutter before equipping mines. Now I have 7 launchers, 4 pips to system, straight line away from the enemy, drop 2-3 mine salvos, boom.
I think it was Vindicator Jones, maybe Obsidian Ant, who recently did a vid on using mines and escaping interdictions - or I may be conflating the two topics into a single survival strategy. That being -
1. pack mines and drop them while running away, and
2. Run away,
a) in a straight line after submitting to an interdiction;
b) do not waste time centering on your jump destination;
c) get your FDL charged (keep boosting, keep dropping mines)
d) Once FDL charged,
i) turn flight-assist OFF,
ii) throttle down,
iii) turn to face jump target (preferably high-wake to avoid mass-lock)
iv) FA ON
v) BOOST BOOST - jump
3. count your blessings.

Is this to stop human players from using a wake scanner to follow you? If so, is it still required for NPCs?

no , it is a combo of max speed away from drop point , to get to that part of the list . them fastest alignment to jump vector

Correct - won't stop a human player if they can match your jump range - but it can buy you time since they have to scan your wake. You can increase your lead with each jump, or maybe dock, or just log out if they're not just playing the game but making it personal. .

Has anyone seen this? I've seen it once before at the Mobius home base station - seems like something effecting the (some) luxury stations.

James HussarI went to the Mars High station in Sol the other day and it was BRIGHT in there. White-wash bright. So bright, I could not see my landing pad. I got disoriented rolling around trying to see past the glare and lost track of where it might be, so I turned and left.

Theo61I played ED since january this year. Had i lot of fun. Did some missions en joined Community Goals. After update to version 2.1 the fun is gone. There is no way to win in combat en most missions are impossible because of destructive npc's. Guess its a game for die hards now. Got to the rank Dangerous, Broker an Trailblazer. But there is no way I get to improve any further since I keep losing money on re buying ships before I can profit of my grinding.
Why release a game that is impossible to play.
Appreciate your frustration
However I would encourage you to get a cobra mk3, equipped for long distance trading, should have 40t cargo

advanced discovery scanner optional
Then go to Sothis and Ceos and trade missions till your very friendly with everyone
Just boost boost boost from every fight and interdiction
Once aligned to the local groups you can easily get several million cargo runs back to the bubble
And a cheap cobra build

The Market Connector tool will take a snapshot of the station services data, including commodities list and prices, and create the .csv for you. You can then upload that file to Inara - or open it up in a text editor or Excel and use the template to enter your own data as needed.
