Starfield Cruise Mode Has a Dark Side — Interdictions EXPLAINED (Free Lanes 2026)

Cruise Mode isn't just smooth sailing. The Free Lanes update also introduces Interdictions — forced encounters that yank you out of travel and won't let you leave until you deal with them. In this video I break down every type of encounter you'll run into while flying between planets, exactly how Interdictions work, who triggers them, and how to get your ship ready so you're never caught off guard mid-flight. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:27 - What are the Encounters 00:01:38 - What are Interdictions 00:03:42 - How do you prepare 00:04:33 - After the Encounter 00:05:20 - Outro ✅ Covers Starfield Update 1.16.236 — April 7, 2026 #Starfield #FreeLanes #StarfieldUpdate #CruiseMode #Interdiction #StarfieldPS5 #BethesdaGames #StarfieldGuide #TerranArmada #StarfieldBeginner Support this channel to get access to perks and become part of the Community:    / @mightyswordgaming
