WaylongwayWho tried to interdict you? Most NPCs aren't a problem, even though in a Type-9 it's more of an effort than in any other ship.
If you want the real test accept several elite cargo transport missions and carry multiple loads of e.g. 192t biowaste at the same time. Those 700t cargo space need to be put to good use.
SakashiroI bought my first T-9 today for the community goal. I had heard stories about NPC interdictions being harder to evade in a T-9, so I wanted to try it myself.

Have you had any yet?
Funnily enough, I hopped from my Cutter into my T9 for the first time in ages, and (to my great surprise) have actually stayed there, because it has more cargo capacity (744 vs 720) and can even pack a supercruise assist. It's still dog slow but I just slapped 7A thrusters + G3 dirty/drag on it to reduce the awfulness a bit.
Haven't yet been interdicted but it's just a matter of time
SakashiroI'm running shieldless, too, but I did add reactive surface composite after I had a minor bump accident in a mailslot and instantly lost 13% hull.
No problems with interdictions so far, but in case I fail to evade, I'll just jettison the cargo. I'm making north of 8M per run with cargo that costs only about 100K to replace. It would be stupid to risk a rebuy over this.
I have to admit, I like the T-9. Quite a contrast to the ships I used to fly.

the flying Bricks - they are a challenge to fly well and not crash. There velocity at speed is something else. Flying these boats keeps you on your toes... (i have a docking computer as I have had two toast rack rebuys too many)
SakashiroI used a docking computer on the first few runs to get a feel for where the line of sight should be when going through the mailslot. The cockpit on the T-9 is rather low, unlike the Anaconda's. Manual docking is part of the fun. Hauling would make me fall asleep otherwise.
Daiyousei7Periodically I dock/undock without it to make sure I can get out of a bad situation if I have to go through the mailslot in a hurry, but other than that...
Sir Sprockettwell my last run into Sirius I was interdicted 3 times on my way to the delivery point. I have hauled over 6k tonnes so now I am combating up Mrs Malaprop with only 64 tonnes of cargo... but with all her new improved weapons.... he he he he
