Well said Skip.
@Kancro; I was flying around the Volungu region last night and saw an Imperial Clipper in SC, up ahead. I always hail hollow blips and say hello, so I did this time. He said hello back. All is well in the world.
So I'm happily heading to the Station with the clipper still locked, admiring its shape in the target scanner. The clipper is inverted, pointed toward me.
As I get closer, I note the clipper pull up and fall in line behind me and I think to myself, " hmm, this could be trouble?"
Just to be safe, I pull a 90 degree turn, lock a distant object and fly off in that direction, away from the station, the clipper follows!
Ok then, time to pull up the charts and select a different system. I select the system I just came from, engage FSD, 3, 2, 1, goodbye Mr Clipper.
Fun stuff indeed!
Well done!! Lol. Point is that at the time, I didn't know humans look hollow in the radar...lol. Heck, it's never happened to me before!!
Additionally, I really dont ho targeting other ships while flying cause I lose lock on the station and have to go back to navigation to lock it. Wondering if there is an easier way to do that. So, I didnt even notice I was being followed!!
Of course, learned both lessons:
-pay attention to hollow squares and,
- even if annoying, scan for ships around and go back to lock destination.
