Newcomer / Intro Disappearing Pirate

After realising I was rubbish at Trading I thought I would try and dispatch some Pirates to make some money.

I upgraded my Sidewinder the best I could and headed to one of the Nav beacons and sure enough I was Interdicted. Although the Pirate was also in a Sidewinder he was pretty good at combat, more so than the combat training tutorials. I eventually managed to get his hull damage down to zero percent and was just waiting for the ship to explode and see how much credit I have been awarded, but before he exploded he just disappeared ....I was livid at all that hard work with no positive result.

What happened and how can I prevent it from happening again ?
 
Did it jump?

There have been numerous occasions where I have shot a ship down to 0% hull but the ship was still functional.

Always remember to keep shooting even when it's at 0% until you hear the music chime and the ship exploding.
