They're better!
For the past few days, I've had a few bounties on my head - nothing serious, maybe 40k total - and I've had some brown trousers moments because of the AI. Instead of being pulled out by rinky-dink Eagles and Sidewinders, I've been pulled out of supercruise by FASs, FDSs, FDLs, Pythons, etc. Large ships, with matching or higher combat ranks, which are definitely matches for me. I haven't run away from any fights just yet, but I've definitely almost died numerous times.
This is a very welcome change. I don't know when it was implemented, but there's a feeling of danger there now. I haven't seen a wing come after me though, which looks cool.
