This is possibly just a factoid for most of you, but I find it interesting.
USS last night, hauler and Eagle/Cobra NPC pirates.
Went for the bigger bounty first (Cobra) and took its drive out before its hull went. Eagle and hauler were nearly out of range so left the Cobra floating aimlessly, chased the Eagle down and pinged it with one laser shot to draw its attention, then turned back to finish the Cobra.
Thanks to lack of heat from the drives, it was stone cold, spinning like a leaf - flickery blip on my sensors and not targettable right up to 300m! I thought I was going barmy until I realised what had happened.
Just thought I'd share that they've actually put that element into the NPC side of the game code
