Targets flees, to body 200,000 Ls away? thanks fdev

What's your boggle Commando 200k ls is nothing.
Nobody (sane) ever claimed that the game is, was or should ever be easy...that's part of the appeal. If it wasn't challenging it would collect dust and cobwebs like many, many other games I have purchased over the years.

Nothing says "difficulty" like an arbitrary amount of forced time-wasting, eh?
Sounds like a suggestion for the suggestion forum.
I specifically didn't say difficulty. I used challenge on purpose. If one don't want to chase that far, then one is not up to the challenge...but chasing is not difficulty.
I think the idea of spawning mission USSs far away is to give the player time to prepare, read the messages etc, but it doesn't seem to be calibrated well. The occasional optional time limit has a similar issue where it tends to allow way too much time for more distant destinations.
Speeding up supercruise acceleration at higher velocities is a common request.

Sometimes RNG can throw a curveball at you.
But saying that sometimes targets spawn away from the POI.

What's challenging about flying in a straight line?
Exactly, it should work like it does in real life.
When someone decides to run away, or skip the country, its common knowledge they're only allowed to run no more than 50 metres, or in the case of fleeing the country, just over the border where they're obliged to wait.
(200k ls takes what... 7-8 minutes maybe?)

Managing to not fall over. I can't do it for a sobriety test, so I'm not going to do it here.
Speaking of “real life” - how could the target get 200k ls away in mere seconds while the player has to fly much much longer?
If anything, we should be able to chase and interdict them.

I concur...
The question is, is it worth the effort to complete the mission.
Reminds me of the not so famous scene in the film 'Silverado', where, to the best of my recollection, the sheriff leading posse chasing the bad guy stops. And when asked about whether they are going to continue the chase before the escapee gets out of his jurisdiction, the sheriff replies something to the effect of "today, my jurisdiction ends here".

There does seem to be a tendency for some missions to spawn POIs about as far away from you as it possibly can. If I fly out to that POI and then relog or lose connection, upon returning the POI will magically respawn at the opposite end of the system. If it's a single-star system, this is usually right by the entry point, just to taunt me.
It doesn't challenge anything except my playtime. Just a timesink.

I think I'm getting too old, because I just can't do it.
I can keep the trajectory straight for about 100K Ls, but after that I just wobble all over the place and miss the destination by a mile.@RyuStaar : Use Apex, it's like Elite's Prius. Targets never hear you coming.
