My regular wingmate and I have noticed some weird going on of late. A couple of weeks ago I was mining in my Type 9. Every time - over several sessions in the Rings - I'd enter the instance, pick an asteroid to target and fire a Prospector at it. I'd then approach the asteroid (assuming it was good) and get ready to mine. At this point my ship would choose to engage boost, seeing me ramming that first asteroid. It'd not do it again that entire mining session, though I'd leave my Cargo Hatch open until leaving the rings, which would have blocked boosting of course.
My friend also randomly sees his ships boost by themselves, with his though it's just randomly during combat and not as regular as my bizaire situation in the rings. He also has other random things happen, like his ship engaging FSD, deploying landing gear etc. We're not sure what's going on, ghost inputs from hsi HOTAS or a weird game gremlin. He has issue far more often than me.
