Cruise disruptors

Ok, I heard the missle warning when i was in cruise so i hit the engine kill button. It killed my engine and I was traveling at 299 when the missle hit, but when the missile hit me, it droped me down to 80... WTF

It is supposed to be a 'CRUISE' Disruptor, not a Ship disruptor... THE ENGINES WERNT EVEN ON!

That dosn't seem fair, ecpecially cause i died.

It is a known bug even though some people refuse to believe it. The disruptor turns on the engine and sets it to 80 speed if it hits you in a kill-engine slide at higher speeds.

Fix, engine kill then press and Hold V and use your turret and kill the missle or turn and kill it with main guns.

I hate cruise disruptors, ecpecially in the House systems. If it were in the Omicrons or the omega's I wouldn't mind, cause I like a good fight. But in the houses it's just a very annoying delay being dis-cruised by some Liberty Rogues in Colorado.
Did you btw notice how in New York noone has a cruise disruptor? That's the only reason I like it in New York.

new york is the best for traders cause there are no cruise distrupters

Kusari is best for trading cause there's no hostiles, in MP anyway.

I normally leave my countermeasure dropper active when I'm running away, and I usually engine kill with my thrusters. no becomming a sitting duck waiting for cruise disruptor to knock you out again, and the enemy AI will make the ships chase you only so far before they turn around and leave.

There is no knowledge that is not power.
