but ffs CCP, at least dont interrupt the reload on gate jumps, this really hampers the way interdictors are played.

This is a result of how the game handles transfers between systems and reload timers. It's possible this will be changed in the future, but if it is it'll probably be as an incidental result of underlying changes to how the game works.

Reloading anything gets interrupted during a gate jump. Don't see why dictors should be special snowflakes in this.

I dont care if reloading of whatever else gets fixed together with it but reloading probes is specifically annoying because of the long reload cycle of 1 min.

they are not the only thing with a 1min reload. you need to be prepared before you jump or you need to decided if you want to wait for a full load of probes b4 you jump. This is nothing more than basic mod management

yep and thats exactly what sucks about those modules I'm asking to change.
Reload cycle getting interrupted by gate change does not make sense.

I'm pretty okay with it as it is. Making that judgment about when to reload is part of flying dictors.

It's always been this way.

Easy to avoid by not causing a session change while reloading.

holy sh** I know thats been that way for a while you dont need to tell me that. This is not a reason not to complain tho.
1 min reload is bad enough, getting it void by gate jump is too much of hassle flying those ships.

There's never a reason to complain. HTFU and deal with it like everyone else rather than come running to the forum with a whine like a child.

This is a Features and ideas forum, not a tear shedding platform.

If you're incapable of managing a simple thing and find it too much of a hassle, then simple solution is don't fly those ships.

I disagree. This requires you to manage your reloads. That's a good thing.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
