'''Interdiction''' is when a ship is intercepted by another vessel during [[Supercruise|supercruise]] mode. When a ship is interdicted, it automatically drops out of supercruise mode and into normal flight mode. This could be by NPC security forces, bounty hunters, or pirates, currently in the beta phase. Plans to allow players to interdict each other are in the offing. | '''Interdiction''' is a term for when a ship is intercepted by another vessel during [[Supercruise|supercruise]] mode.

If you are interdicted by security forces it's usually because they want to scan your ship for illicit (illegal) cargo, and/or they want to scan to determine your criminal status. If either scan turns out to be positive they will open fire on your ship. | If you are interdicted by security forces it's usually because they want to scan your ship for illicit (illegal) cargo, and/or they want to scan to determine your criminal status.
