How can I dump them? Is there some way to eject them in mid jump?

Wow, green, slimey and corrosive substance...sounds like my ex. LOL [green with constant jealousy which got really really old after about the 3rd time.]
Anyway, where the hell did this weapon come from? How do I get it?? Get yer Space Slime right here! Cyber Friday Special: Only 5,000,000 credits!
Made a bundle yesterday with a load of Grand, LTDiamonds and Void Opals. My biggest haul ever...about 60,000,000 in one trip!
But here is a question: I read somewhere you can transfer cargo to another of your ships. How? Why would I want to do that: Station I was in will one day pay 750,000 for Void Opals and then, suddenly, will pay 1,600,000 for a day or less. I am thinking if I could store my VO in my Cobra that is sitting in storage, I could just wait until price went up.
Have a spacey weekend...
Anyone ever play this while vaping a Colorado substance?? I would think it would be spectacular! Unfortunately, Wisconsin still in dark ages. (Which is good in some ways.)

Alright, this is IT! And I had that point defense on the ship do....you don't have to "activate" that do you? I thought it automatically warded off evil. But it did not do squat. I want all your best ideas on how to keep this from happening again. It did not even ask for cargo...just blew me up and flew away - Tildin was his name.
Should I load up lasers and fight next time or???
Help before I kill someone.

It's only credits KP ... famous last words! 
Anyhoo ... I did something a little less stressful today. I found the perfect planet for surface mining 36% Metal and Major Reserves ... rocky but fairly even surface so no struggling up and down the Himalayas for a change. So I was scooting about in the Clown Car and finding loads of nice rarer elements that are needed for engineering when I suddenly had a rush to the brain and stuck the headphones on ... You can hear the targets way before they appear on the surface scanner! Previously I'd just wandered around until something turned up. The sound of a metallic meteorite in the distance (like an electric razor a long way off) is music to my ears!
Remember KP 'The pursuit of money is the root of all evil!' and an attractant to griefers and scumbags. Got enough for a few rebuilds is enough!
Off to see Fliss Farseer for a few more mods.

Am away in the mountains 4WD ing and no reception most of the time..but SD1 did u know if u r on a clear flat planet just head in the one direction instead of searching around, and u pick up just as many signals ? I have tried it and it seems to work.
Plus u can drive flat out so u save a bit of time also.
Also with Felicity it is a good plan to put an upgrade on anything u can whilst u r there then pin the one blueprint u want from her, then remotely upgrade them later, saves a lot of travel.

I drive slowly and carefully Baz otherwise I end upside down!
There's 2 planets quite close in the LHS 6007 system C1 & C3 both hi metal worlds. Don't try C3 (as I did) it won't let you land. Not surprising really as it's 30,000+ Ats on the surface! You really would be playing a 2 dimensional game!

I get it, Commander SD1, and you are right - $$$ is root of all evil, along with drugs and that other thing.
I confess I was being greedy wanting to hold onto 4 hour-earned $20,000,000 working in the mines - the lonely, frozen, desolate, icy asteroid belt, core mining with nothing between me and oblivion is my beautiful, now titanium, Python....worth about 125,000,000 fully decked out to 7A where possible. But I was ticked anyway. Yes, I had insurance but still...LOL...
No, about 65% of my anger is at me for not researching to see what could be done (because, frankly, I have a hard time "giving in" to these no-goods: "Oh, sure blow me up. Your name, by the way?" No, that's not in me. I did more research past all those who say, "You are better off running away." to see if any gutsy advice was to be had.
I will now glean all of what I learned into the results - what I actually did with the research. Here goes, short version.
I have noticed that when I get interdicted and cannot Vector Escape, I HAVE GOODS ON BOARD - and that they are going to just try to kill me, so "Run or Fight?"
Running does not work. You get blown to hell and back.
So, how to fight? (again after much research)
First thing is weaponry. I had two burst laser and a railgun...all on same key, ready to go on command.
Second is chaff. Have your chaff hotkeyed or yell CHAFF (whether you have voice attack or not - it's fun).
Now go mine something of value....don't need a lot - because this is BAIT. Yes, that is right, you are now looking for THEM! (Remember if you do not have booty, you will be able to easily vector escape.)
I mined in Ross 376 - quickly loaded up a minimum amount - about 4 Granderite - then headed for a port...hoping, hoping...
Sure as hell, I get interdicted, cannot escape and then this butcher starts trying to filet me (for no good damn reason), he makes a pass (TAKING DAMAGE screaming in your ears) Open your hardpoints, do a 180, start dropping chaff all over the place, and get ready to take him on. Which I did. He got me down to about 80% shields, but after I shot him up a few times he took off.
AHA!!Victory!
Key is to know when you are going to have to fight or die anyway and be ready! Give 'em a taste of their own medicine!
Fly high, Commanders!

Nice one KP! You're learning!
Not sure what 'the other thing' is, unless it belongs with drugs and rock 'n roll!
2 burst lasers and a rail doesn't sound near enough in the offensive spirit to me!
I carry a 3C engineered Beam laser (Efficient weapon upgrade) Gimballed and 2 X Multi Cannons also gimballed ... all on one firing button.
Then there's the 2 Frag Cannons for shooting rocks and broken bottles at them when they're dead in the water ... or the void in this case. It just adds that nice finishing them off touch.
4 X OA Engineered Shield Boosters (40% boost each!) to augment the 6A Shield generator so I rarely have to use the 6A Shield bank.
I take the view that if you're going to fight (Like you I always do) then kill 'em quick!
I realise this doesn't leave much scope for mining equipt. BTW.
Also, I find that escaping interdiction is ridiculously easy if you're slowed right down on approach to a station. Well that's what I find anyway and they more often than not try to get you in the last seconds. Hint ... hit the safe disengage (J on my KB) ASAP, they can't interdict when you're in supercruise disengage mode.

I still remember what that "other thing" is....yay !
got back home without trying the upside down trick lol
carrying some bait...yeah..sounds like a good way to pick a scrap !
just a little query guys...do u have all your guns on I key or 1 fire group ?
was thinking their shields would have to be down before, eg. multis , would be effective on bringing down hulls.

So the shields go down pretty quick eh ?
Was looking at a vr for pc and it appears the samsung odyssey + is the way to go atm for ED but they are a bit pricey over here in aus...shame

Yeah, yeah, right: BEAM lasers...that is what I was using. (And so were they, by the way.)
So, two questions...how can you get your beam lasers to not "cool down" so often, leaving you weaponless?
I use beam lasers, like burst lasers - key on /key off/key on/key off - to make them last longer.
2 - I hear about
"Engineered" this or that, but no idea how to get that done. I am assuming you are "Re-wiring" things to make them more effective? How do I go about that?
I have a new hobby: Baiting interdictors...then corking them.

Engineering ... Go into your first (LH) section in the RH panel ... There is a section labelled engineers down to the right hand side. Click on it and it will show which engineers you have access to. Usually Tod the Blaster first who'll do things to your weapons ... for a price of course. Modifications cost 'resources' which you can gather by surface mining for the needed elements and by doing missions for resources such as Specialized Legacy Firmware, Hybrid Capacitors etc. After you complete a mod then other engineers will appear on your list offering diverse services for different modules.
Warning! If you are going to visit an engineer DO IT IN SOLO! I have learned to my cost (and I'm a slow learner!) that griefers hang around stations with engineer facilities as the engs usually demand high value items (It differs for the various engs) before they'll even consider picking up a spanner. 'Meta Alloys' and 'Soontill Relics' for instance. Only one place you can buy Meta Alloys, 'Maia' and they're not available at the Five and Dime! or you can go scour Thargon worlds and collect them by mining them from 'barnacles' I would never do this as they're a functioning life form and shooting them makes them chuck out their babies (Meta alloys)
And yeah ... I got slotted landing on the pad at Deciat Fliss Farseers. Shields went down like a strike at tenpin bowling.
These scum that prey on the weaker ships ... and they WILL be weaker if they're going for mods have all the best upgrades from whatever source esp. Guardian upgrades. So they must get their kicks out of destroying weaker less well armed ships. Not really a challenge ... they probably pulled the wings off flies at school and bullied the weaker kids in calss.
DIDN'T YOU Skanker 'HELLZY 87?' ... You complete and utter arsehole!
Not that I'm bitter.... Where can I put out a contract on him?

SD1, after I get my trade elite I intend to work on the combat rank and will definately start a combat ship of some sort....prob be a while yet but when I do I would be happy to come into open and help you with that bastard, and there will be others as well lol.
At least the game allows us to team up and go on the hunt as it were.
I am aware that the baddies do the same thing, but at least we can have a go.
