The Frame Shift Drive Interdictor is an optional internal module used to interdict another ship travelling in supercruise, forcing it (and the interdicting ship) out into normal space. It is a separate module from the Frame Shift Drive itself, despite the similar name.

Overview

Interdiction plays out as a real-time minigame between the interdicting and interdicted ship; a higher-class, better-engineered Frame Shift Drive Interdictor improves the interdictor's chances. It is used by player and NPC pirates, bounty hunters, and PvP-focused Commanders alike, and is a common fit on combat and piracy-oriented ships.
