Changing Ships Without Landing At A Station First

I'm going to ask a question but may have to leave a few details out to prevent a possible "name & shame" situation, so if anyone requires a specific detail or two, please PM the question with me.

Ok, here's the situation:

I'm patrolling, looking for a specific bad guy that keeps harassing … us. He's role-playing and he gives a standard warning as to why he's interdicting players, etc, so he's doing it properly.

I spotted him last night in one of the ships he uses. We're both at zero throttle (30,000 kps) and I'm warning other players to either wing up or go solo/mp before arriving here. He knows I'm there but I'm in a Cobra and he does have skills that'll take my ship out in very short time so he doesn't see me as a threat. Several times he drops out of SC and returns to SC within a minute or two. I don't think anything of it, I guess he wanted to see if it would change instances with me not there.

Here's the odd part: I watch him drop out of SC, I'm locked on to his 'low-wake' signal so I can see where he'll reappear. He comes back in SC but now he's in a different ship. He flies around for a bit, drops out of SC, then comes back in his original ship. About 20 minutes later, he drops out of SC and again comes back in a different ship.

How the hell do you change ships without going to a base first?
 
Um, ok.....

Were they Alliance ships? Those are difficult to tell apart - even for a ship's scanners...

**It's a Chieftain... no, Challenger... wait - which one has a fighter bay?
He normally uses just one or two types of ships but I've seen him change ships at a nearby station before (he has the audacity to hang out and refuel/resupply in our systems) but that type of ship change was normal. This was out in the middle of space.
 
did you scan him? if so? report it with your logfiles and let frontier check
His normal ship is geared for interdiction and blasting really, really fast (he's reduced my Anaconda to a paperweight within about 20 seconds more than once if he manages to interdict me, which he seems to be able to do easily, no matter how I try to avoid it). His second ship was loaded with 4 frag cannons and no shields (I think he was taunting me with it).
 
I mean... Drop to normal space, hyper jump out, go to a station, change ship, jump back.

Weird part is turning up back at the same spot and not at the system star though, yeah.

This is one of those video/logs things I think.
