I saw him turning onto my six -- a Master Python -- but my FSD was already mostly charged. I was preparing to jump from super-cruise to hyperspace, and I had my destination dead ahead. His interdiction attempt began just a second or two before the hyperspace jump countdown, so instead of evading or conceding, I kept my course. My hyperspace jump countdown began, and though the interdiction continued, HYPERSPACE. Whew! That ought to put some distance between me and danger.
But (of course there's a but), I arrived at the destination star amidst an immediate flurry of graphical glitches and overlapping audio cues, which appeared to include traversing into/through a star mixed with interdiction escape guidance followed shortly after by the familiar and more tranquil (if you can believe that) "oh no, I've flown too close to a star" drop from super-cruise. Escaping the heat from a star, I was prepared for. Dodging fire from the enemy Python still on my six, I was not... He interdicted me all the way through hyperspace!?
Consider that Pythons mass-lock Type-9s, stars are hot when touched, and FSDs don't like sudden super-cruise drops; you can guess how this scenario plays out every time.
