BrohiemHow come I get killed every single freaking time when I get interdicted by a thargoid? Happens even when all I try to do is boost away and jump back into hyperspace....

I've been flying a Type 7 for the last couple of days, and a Type 6 before that, to shuttle refugees out of Thargoid invaded systems.

I usually get hyperdicted on the way into the destination system, and interdicted near the destination by flocks of Thargoids.

For hyperdiction I punch the throttle once systems come back on line, boost as often as possible, engage silent running, and arc back toward my destination system so I'm pointed near it when cool down finishes. When heat builds to about 140 I drop a heat sink, and when frame shift drive cools down enough I start that charging and disable silent running. All the while I'm turning back and forth, hitting boost, and doing corkscrews.

Interdiction goes about the same, but you throttle down to submit so there's no wait for cool down before engaging super cruise. While that charges, run silent, boost repeatedly, and make lots of turns and corkscrews.

They'll beat down my hull, and may coat it with caustic goo that causes progressive deterioration, but most of the time, say 8 out of 10, I make it to the station or settlement I'm aiming for and the pay for collecting refugees much more than covers the re-buys. It's hair-raising but it works. Usually.

And I've never been interdicted on the way back to the rescue ship with passengers. At least not by Thargoids. NPCs a few times, but they're easy to evade.

Since I nearly always us silent running, I'm thinking of off loading my shield generator and replacing it with hull reinforcements. That might make more sense. I just gotta be careful not to hit the toast rack, other ships, or the ground.

I have zero "engineering", in case you're wondering, but you'll need to keep weight down and boost speed up whether you aim to do combat or haul passengers. A good power plant probably helps charge the FSD a little quicker, and heat sinks need to be present so you can toss 'em out like candy.

I'm still new here, so the old hands may have better advice, but I thought my experience might be encouraging to some. Good luck & o7.

Before you enter a "hot-zone" the following you must know. Make sure your ships has the following minimum equipment:

1: A shutdown field neutralizer (obvious reasons)
2: Heatsinks (if your temperature remains under 20% it is harder for interceptors to hit you)
3: A minimum boost speed of 430-450 m/s ( if interdicted by basilisk it will be harder to burn away from him thus heatsinks)<--NOT REQUIRED BUT PREFERED
4: Silent running is the equivalent of having close to zero heat signature use it discretely
5: When interdicted from supercruise ALWAYS SUBMIT ( the cooldown is a lot shorter)
6: when hyperdicted boost boost boost. 6km is the mass lock range for all interceptors ( basi is the hardest to get away from)
7: DO NOT BE a paperthin flying kite with tons of passengers for max profit unless you know exactly what you are doing 1 or 2 hull reingorcements can get you a long way.
All interceptors will always blast their shutdown wave first then deploy a swarm all while sitting in place. All that time you must be boosting as fast as you can while your FSD cools down. If hyperdicted do not align right away to your destination, instead burn away from thargoid first , charge the fsd fully, then align to destination and jump. If interdicted, just submit, burn away, and low-wake out. If your speed is at least 430.. you will not be touched by anything. When docking and undocking on actively under attack ports do so always in silent run, pop a hetsink if heat builds too much and always be ready to use shutdown field neutralizer as you are coming in.. That pretty much will get you IN AND OUT everywhere you go. It works for me and i am VERY BAD at this game.

Tomciopalecwhy on discord in axi forums they always ask to turn of crime reporting, is it creating bad instance ?
could not find any explanation for it

so I just found out that it will prevent you getting crimes against you for accidentally shooting clean ships in the heat of battle

I doubt that crime reporting works at all in those AX conflict zones. When I drop out near a station under attack, I always see "system link error, security response unavailable". That usually means no bounties even if you hit a clean ship by accident.

DirnivirGuardian sites aren't working for me. And i can't get the terminal to accept the relic. Ik what I'm going I've done it before. I rly want shard cannons cus a dude using them decimated a goid.
I've tried odyssey and horizons my friend couldn't do it either so: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/56567
Made a ticket.
Cus I also want other Guardian things I haven't unlocked yet.
Is anyone having any luck with Guardian grind if you've tried.

Also I have a billion credits in my bank cus of this Thargoid war loving it.
