Horizons NPCs get bored?!

[Mercury7]

Do NPCs get bored? Quickly?!

I have been interdicted a few times in 2.2, and twice so far, the NPC gave up the fight and flew away.

When I was wanted yesterday, a Fed interdicted me, then flew away (I had a 6 minute bounty after tagging a Fed in a Res). Had he not been a Fed I would have blasted him to hell.

What gives?

Your just not worth the aggravation...

That's fine by me!

It happened to me when the attacker was much lower combat rank than I.
They didn't apologize, though. So I blew them up. :/

Part of 2.2 is that the NCP will give up more easily than before....its in the changelog.

Awww! They went to the trouble of disturbing my flight through hyperspace, so they should stick around to fight with honor!

Wait until they try to jump you just as you are coming out hyperspace, or just as you are safe to disengage and a second later...bosh...one of them is there.
Some parts of this game need to be sorted to stop us from getting very annoyed with it, like I am at the minute. *buries head in hands*

They are programmed for a certain level of self preservation, so for whatever reason your NPC felt threatened and decided to bug out.

When 2.2 first landed, well... I went a bit crazy on the forums, but the first update seems to have addressed the more annoying bugs.

I'm having too much fun in Res sites at the moment, which is good whilst we wait for the other fixes.

It is absolutely right it should feel threatened! [hehe]

Adds realism, however the Elite big ships still fight you to the(ir) end, with the exception of the odd FDL that bugs. The Anacondas just don't run. Which is OK as bounties for them are usually 100 to 300k+.
