One thing I have noticed since Horizons appeared, I have been playing solo play for a while as my friend is too busy with RL to play. Before Horizons would get interdicted 3-4 times day on trading runs and umpteen offers to follow a stranger to a strange place. Now I was interdicted this morning, first trip after logging on, nothing since and no offers from strangers, just the longest wedding in the universe is still going.

Probably tempting fate mentioning it but any body else noticed the same thing?

ive been trading on and off the past few hours and seen a wedding as well that has been going on for what seems like forever. Pretty sure it was happening yesterday too. But no I've never gotten offers from people in space. I am getting interdicted at about the normal rate though. A good way to get interdicted is to be loaded up with something valuable, say 100 tons of gold then go afk a second to use the restroom while making a long trip to a station. 100% chance of interdiction when you start to pee.

yeah its like waiting for the post and a parcel you had on order for weeks, they have special meter that tells them when you enter the restroom and as soon as you close the door, they knock on the outside one. Been carrying beryllium. palladium, admittedly for some reason, a lot of tea and liquor guess even in the vast future Tea and Alcohol rule. My asp only caries 80 tons now I put a Scarab in the garage.

Found an outpost while wandering on the first planet I landed on, tried shooting up the wanted sentries but they beat me to a pulp so went and got the ship, that taught them.

I had fun in the cobra while I was in it, died quite a few times too though but no risk no gain,. Asp is slower and less manoeuvrable but got a bigger punch.

I noticed small ships like eagels been doing interdiction lately. Does any one know how long a eagel vs cobra mk3 ladts? About 1 minute and if takes 20 seconds for me to slowdown to target them then fire. . A pyrhon interdectined me last night , about all i can do was run then boost till fsd could get me out.

I was doing the rare trade route as shown by salesman (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=101211) and got killed 3 times in one day, I was in an Asp Explorer and got interdicted by an Imperial Clipper twice and later that day by a Federal Assault ship, needless to say it was a bad day, I nearly out ran the assault ship but my engines got taken out. Stupidly I thought well the Clipper just killed me in that system he will have moved on but no he was still there. At one point I was sat under the Clipper hammering away at him with pulse lasers and multi-cannons, his shields went down, must have hammered away for what seemed like ages but probably 10 seconds, normally enough to kill anything I have come across before, but he just turned nose on to me, bye bye, time to go back to Go, do not collect your cargo bonus.

lol yeah. I got an Imperial Eagle to play with. It has a medium hardpoint on top so I put the best gimbaled multicannon I could. It is funny when a Sidewinder interdicts you and dies within seconds to the multicannon. Very powerful gun for such a small ship. Fun to fly though.
