Should NPC hull damage persist?

[Javert]

I was doing a mission where I had to track a specific NPC and he kept running away. I noticed that when I chased him into SC his hull went back up to 100%. Is this "as designed"?

I would ticket that.

I dont think 24601 suffered hull damage on the countless times you let him escape.

As far as I know NPCs jump to different systems and you need a wake scanner to follow them.

If you do this their hull damage does seem to persist.

If you just to SC you are seeing a brand new NPC with the same name.

I see what you did there.
