Feedback about the constant FDL spawning in with me

So I was in the process of being interdicted by an FDL trying to kill me for me cargo. I had 8 Ion Distributors - nothing special. Fine, i'm being pirated. That's all good with me. But what's incredibly annoying is the fact that whenever I drop from supercruise there's always this darn FDL spawning in with me. When I was interdicting a player he kept boosting then jumping out (he was faster and chaff-spammed) but when I interdicted him again (I literally did this 7 times) this FDL was ALWAYS there with me. Like, NO! I don't want to fight him, but I can't destroy him because of my slow ship so what do I do? I can't wait him out, he's going to be following me for DECADES for my 'wanted cargo'. We need Station Storage and fast. I'm not clinging onto these ion distributors until I finally find these Exquisite Focus Crystals. Apparently in Signal Sources and the wreckages of large combat ships? Nope. Four days and counting. Not a sign.
I this annoying FDL could be stopped that would be nice, because I'm certainly not going to destroy him because, guess what? Another FDL will spawn 'waning my cargo'!

So, let me get this right.

You are annoyed that an npc is doing what you were doing to a player?

Have you tried doing what a sensible player would do and jumping to another system?
 
I was on my way to metallic ring with my mining corvette and had the same issue but with Elite Anaconda. I had some limpets in cargo, pirate was messaging me "a there you are this tasty big cargo yummy..." I got interdicted, escaped. Got interdicted, escaped. Then I dropped in the ring and after couple of seconds the pirate drops in. I escaped into supercruise.

Then I got interdicted again by this elite conda... I said WTH and attacked the pirate after I almost doped his shields he spammend dozens of SCB's and in matter of seconds his shields were full again so I escaped again, got interdicted again, now I realized that I am in high security system so I evaded, spaming chafs then security forces arrived and I was able to finish this elite Anaconda.

Its strange because when pirates scanned me they were never interested in my limpets since 2.1
.
Oh, btw couple of minutes later when I allready mined some platinum. I hear scan detected it was NPC python, I engaged in combat did nice droped his shields... Then I hear scan detected, scan detected and soon something like chainsaw sound, my shields droping like paper, decided to escape, again chainsaw like sounds hull 0% pop. I have no idea what killed me it was 10 seconds.

That sounds a little disturbing... I don't know what is going on with this update but there seem to be more and more reports of strange and sometimes ridiculous NPC behaviour. I wonder what the odd sound was? Modded weapon maybe?

Yes. But the system i'm in is useful to me. Good station, RES, conflict zone ect. I know I was annoyed at the time of writing the post, but there's is a problem with the spawning

Some strange NPC Behaviour I found:

in 2.1
 
I guess you took mission(s) where hostile ships may attack you.
To fix the issue I guess you can cancel mission(s).
