Ok. I am playing two ships/commanders on separate computers. The Ships are DBX's fitted for maximum un-engineered jump range.
Each ship has 4 units of Meta Alloys in the hold.
I am working my way to Felicity. I have the filters set to avoid civilization.
I have never stopped anyplace inhabited so there shouldn't be any knowledge of what is in my holds. I traveled some 400 LY to get the Meta Alloys without even one interdiction attempt. Now there is an NPC named Harry McMillan that is attempting to interdict at least one of the ships in every system I jump into. He never succeeds. I always win.
One ship doesn't yet have DATAMINED whatever wake stuff so after exploring each system, I have the ships rendezvous. Drop into normal space and line up the next jump with the deficient ship in the rear so it can scan the other ones wake. Got that DATAMINED thing for one ship that way on the way to get the Alloys,
Never before did I ever have any ship(s) drop in on me while getting lined up. BUT, it happened. Two ships. Looked like ASPX's.
No communications of any kind.
One did very high speed very close repeated passes.
One did attempt to scan but as soon as they dropped in and buzzed me, I gave my VA "BUG OUT" command which does a boost and starts the FSD. Then I kept boosting till I jumped.
Keep in mind. I am in anarchy so there shouldn't be any "system authority".
No shots were fired I don't think.
I also don't think they ever got the scan complete.
