NPC ships hundreds of LY from civilisation

Ok, so what's with these NPC ships hundreds of LY's away from the nearest station?
Target one and take a look...
Cobra's, Sideys, Haulers..nothing special. Yet they have no fuel scoops! Check out their subtargets, no scoops anywhere. How the hell did they get this far out in space? Magic?
 
It's better than it used be... You used to get interdicted at EVERY star even if you travelled a 1,000Ly from civilisation and they'd be in eagles with no scoops! ;) During the last stages of Gamma they definitely made it better, but yes, it's still not perfect, you see a few odd things still...
 
I noticed that for the first 200-300 Ly from civilisation I was seeing a few NPCs from time to time, but since I pushed farther out, they've all vanished...now I'm alone in the dark.

-- Pete.

Don't let your guard down out there, I was interdicted yesterday over 650 LY from civilisation.
 
I wish they had some story behind them or would show up in a way that makes sense like in groups hauling, mining or chasing together instead of the 1 ship per sun variation that I get most of the times
 
Few hundred LY is nothing. There are a few far out stations in space that extend the "range" of those NPCs: See ADITI and FEHU.
By the way they have the luxury hangars with trees and stuff, but nothing else pretty much :)
