Yes, you fit the mod then approach behind your target in hyperspace and fire the interdictor like you would a weapon.

Right now, in this state, this is pretty much exactly what I wanted out it - an update from the original that was pretty much the same thing with glitzy graphics and a bit more depth added to it. Controls are not nearly as bad as I thought with keyboard/mouse, NVIDIA driver update yesterday seemed to have improved performance for me significantly, endless trading, different ships to tool around in, and the classic docking! Though that is alot easier than I remember it being. The combat, I've noticed, about 80% of the time I attack someone, they just spin around aimlessly and try to flee, maybe take a few potshots. The other 20%, well, the other 20% it gets crazy.
This has the potential to keep me busy until Witcher 3 finally releases in Dec 2026.

I am finding it not bad at all with a mouse. The only real things I changed were what Draegan posted a few pages back:
(From Draegan)
"Change Mouse X axis to YAW
Change A D to ROLL
Adjust the mouse near the center of the screen to be accurate. NO DEAD ZONE. Dead zone on a mouse is dumb, but it's needed for a joystick. Then tinker with the sensitivity settings."
That has worked well for me so far, didn't take long at all to get the hang of things, I played through a couple of the tutorials (target practice, docking, one of the combat ones) and jumped right in. Sure, I still get all cockeyed trying to dock and ram into something every now and then, but I probably would with a joystick too, lol.
*edit* I should caveat that I spent a hefty chunk of my childhood playing the originalEliteon a keyboard, and as someone else pointed out it here it feels similar to that, so there might be some bias there on my part.

Did you find a war-zone or just happened upon the fight? Nice job with the dropship too, I almost had my ass handed to me from some Bounty in an imperial clipper, damn they hurt.

I finally got attacked by a real ship. Probably a real pushover for my cobra, but it was a Cobra with no shields and it did not feel like a lot of firepower. Burned him in a pretty quick fight either way, the weapons did enough damage.
I also got a chance to use the KWS, so I got a 6600 bounty from him being wanted and a 2k imperial bounty as well. I assume I just cash in the federal bounties since I am in fed space and will keep racking up those imperial bounties until it's worth a trip?
