I have decided to do some mining around the Colonia region, hoping to be able to easily find quiet mining location where I won't be disturbed by npc pirates. To my surprise it turns out that ANY hotspot I visited within 400 LY from the nearest inhabited system, contained an npc ship inside!
Can anyone please let me know if this is 'working as expected' or is this a bug that should be reported and fixed? Isn't the npc spawning range supposed to be something around 100 LY?
I have already contacted support about that and got the following response:
This response is actually contrary to my knowledge so far, so some 'official' confirmation on this feature would be a great start!

I have already contacted support about that and got the following response:
So far as I'm aware, NPCs will spawn with reasonable regularity wherever you happen to be in the galaxy.
That being said, I can appreciate the fact that this is hardly 'realistic' nor particularly immersive
My best advice would be to raise this in the suggestions and feature requests section of the official forums:

Our development team closely monitor the threads here whilst working on improvements to the game!
