Nice tips!

For those not in the watching mood:

  • Never fight the interdiction. Submitting to the interdiction will result in a much shorter FSD cooldown.
  • Don't fly in a straight line. Use barrel rolls and other evasive maneuvers to make it harder for the ganker to target you.
  • If you're in a small ship, put four pips in engines over systems. If you're in a large ship with good shields, keep four pips in systems during the gank.
  • Target a system to escape to before the interdiction happens.
  • When you drop out of interdiction, boost directly away from the attacker.
  • Charge a high wake to the escape system.
  • Keep boosting and using lateral thrusters to throw off the ganker's aim.
