USS and Threat Levels

After almost 3K hours in, I'm still not 100% sure about the meanings of the "Threat Level" when dealing with USS spawns. I dropped into a Threat Level 4 and had nothing happen. I then dropped into a Threat Level 1 and had 3 'Condas pounce on me.

Who assigns the threat level - the pirates in the event :D ?
 
I must say, I kinda like those conda wing ganks. It makes me feel unsafe, even when going to those so called Threat 0 signals. I never died to one, but mainly because i run like hell. The first time I got ambushed, it put a big fat smile on my face as i barely escaped. They add a sense of excitement and danger even at those low threat level. It's easily one of my favourite things in the game as it seems like something people would do if they could lol
 
I remember back in them good ol days, stopping by a harmless uss with some goods floating about. me in my python, way way before engineers came tumbling out, and boom 3 elite condas drops in and starting to get fun. I miss that, and when npc's, atleast for a few weeks until reverted back to AI 0.1, fought back, properly. Sigh


MDH

Edit; really, poopoo? doublesigh
