IIRC that whole conversation started after I submitted and fled his interdictions and warned other players in system chat, about an active ganker. But I guess I also taunted him, so story short, he promised me to come after me, and later that day after even high wake following and multiple interdictions he got my conda. Then he told me to learn the game like he likes, remember his name forever and follow his stream, and that is the conversation you saw.

[@astroseia3380]

The 7 second rule also works on 6 seconds, just drop throttle to 50% using a key bind and you're good. If you use a frame shift assist module (which is kinda pointless in my opinion) you can cut that time down to like 2 or 3 seconds I think, idk, haven't tried that yet.

By the way, Sothis and Ceos no longer work for Federation rank as there is only one Federation rank left in these two systems. Chakpa and Ochosi might work if the faction state is right. Otherwise, find a few systems with 3+ Federation factions offering a lot of planet scan missions for 5 rep, and get scanning collecting a lot of high grade encoded materials as you go.

Have you considered making a key bind for 75% acceleration? You can slam that as late as 6 seconds from your destination and you won't overshoot, and you won't have to stop at all. To each their own of course. I use a Dualshock 4 though. Not sure if that allows for more key binds than an Xbox controller because of the touch pad corners.

Now it's around 6M Cr for 196 units. I did my grinding using a Python with lots of cargo space. Got real good at avoiding interdictions. Anotherv tip: Lots of the mission rewards there are Modular Terminals, so I also unlocked Marco Qwent while I did the grind.

Pirates always interdict you before you hit the station because you slow down before you pass the station. Something that works well for me is slowing down and letting the pirates do the minigame, that way I don't have to do a loop of shame every time there's a pirate in the system. Also, NPCs are basically impossible to lose to. I cannot count the times I've outmaneuvered small ships in my Type 9. Those fools really have no idea what they're doing.

[@kristofevarsson6903]

Another of the most annoying things about NPC interdictions is that they can be 1,000 Ls away and facing you head on and they can still interdict you, while players have to be within so many Ls and be >45° behind the target. They can also wrench you in the most perfect direction opposite to wherever you want to be going with such fantastic force, while player interdictions don't have this ability, and the direction you travel and the intensity of turns is arbitrary and random. A classic case of FDev implementing artificial difficulty.
