'''Interdiction''' is a term for when a [[Ships|ship]] is intercepted by another vessel during [[Supercruise|supercruise]] mode. When a ship is interdicted, it starts a small minigame, where the ship being interdicted must fly towards an escape vector to run away. The interdictor must follow the ship and try to fill up its progress bar against the efforts of the interdicted player, or they will simply fail and the person will get away. The interdicted may choose to submit to interdiction by lowering throttle to zero, resulting in a much shorter [[Frame Shift Drive]] (FSD) cooldown and no heat or hull damage compared to forced interdiction. | '''Interdiction''' is a term for when a [[Ships|ship]] is intercepted by another vessel during [[Supercruise|supercruise]] mode.
