Not long ago I encountered a high ranked npc FAS in a haz res and opened fire. Some kind of bug I haven't encountered before or since prevented it from deploying hardpoints. This gave me the opportunity to just watch how it behaved when it thinks its fighting. What I noticed is that it will relentlessly face the player, a suicidal face tanking that you cannot overcome. Sure you can boost past it and try to pitch backwards it but will be right there doing it again. Npc chieftains do it too. Targeting an engine makes them lose control but while that engine is online, that thing WILL be facing you. Vultures do this too a little bit but I can maneuver into position above or behind them and pursue them. They will try to evade. Despite having a better pitch rate The space turret behavior isn't there. What are people's thoughts?
