A useful tactic for player roles involving combat. While travelling faster than light through a star system ships are able to be pulled back into real space by a ship equipped with a frame shift drive interdictor. This allows security forces, pirates, and bounty hunters to interact with other ships while travelling faster than light. Once initiated a mini-game will start forcing both players to concentrate on a single point at the center of their screens and hold it there to either succeed in pulling the other ship out into real space or escaping interdiction. This mechanic is demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WArqM9L0o4o this] video.

=== Piracy ===

Players are able to steal cargo from other ships using a variety of means. They can employ hatch-breakers which when fired at an un-shielded target will latch onto the cargo hatch and extract cargo canisters from it. In addition, once shields have been dropped a player can shoot the cargo hatch manually to damage it which will have the same effect but in most cases takes more skill. Once stolen cargo has been scooped it can be smuggled and sold on the black market at stations and outposts that feature one.

Various combat events (e.g. performing tight turns, firing weapons) heat up the ship's hull, which will make the ship easier to be spotted on scanners, which in turn will make it easier for [[Pirates]] and [[Bounty Hunters]] to locate such ships. This means that players will be able to detect on-going battles and join in. David Braben has hinted at the ability for combatants to communicate with ships in the vicinity to "do deals".{{cite}} This may mean that the player may get a share of the profits if they save a trader from pirates or get a share in the loot if they don't mind getting a bounty on their head.
