First a little backstory. I've only been playing since release and I still use the sidewinder and eagle in federation territory. I've explored out from my starting location in about a 40ly radius. I recently started bounty hunting in my eagle and I quickly accumulated a little over 300k credits, but about 90% was for the alliance and empire. The problem is the nearest system for either faction is over 60ly away so I was waiting to turn them until after I bought a cobra.
Now for the problem. As I was dogfighting a wanted AI cobra, another AI cobra also attacking the wanted ship rammed me from above and behind and destroyed me which caused me to lose all my bounties. It was just too fast to react to. Would it be too difficult to make the AI change course if it's on a collision course with your ship? Now I have no problem if the ship I was fighting decides to ram me, that's a fair tactic, especially if he's in a bigger ship. But to die to an accidental ram like that is very frustrating. Or at least have a collision alarm go a couple seconds before it happens. That small proximity indicator on the hud isn't enough.
The kicker was that was the last bounty I was going for before upgrading to the cobra and traveling to the other factions, as he was worth over 20k and he was at 20% hull.
