Suicidal NPC's - AI Glitch? (Video added)

[Loriath]

I tweeted to Sarah about the NPC AI in stations, and have yet to hear back from her. (She did the AI) I linked the video to her as well.

Insert sexist joke about girls' parking skills.

Yeah I've seen this behaviour in Solo mode too. Was very strange. Seems the station took a dislike to every Orca that entered and shot it down whilst on the pad! Weird!

I can't believe that this is proper behaviour. I was docked and facing inwards (hadn't turned around yet) so there was no need to wait for me and I was in Solo so no other players. I wanted to make a time lapse of the coming and going of ships as it is something for a video I am thinking of making. Given the simulation complexity, having a ship launch, head out the letter box, pick a star that is within jump range and jump is surely possible?

I have reported it though just incase

It's a bit like quantum physics - your presence makes a difference and the environment has to be maintained. What you go through is a number of linked screens that are so well matched you rarely see the joins. There are two or three spots you might notice: approaching the letterbox when the mist suddenly clears and you can see inside; and approaching a RES when the asteroids are gradually revealed. Then, of course, there's the transition between supercruise, hypercruise and standard flight. The transitions are the opportunity to set a new scene, destroying a cleaning up clutter and creating new objects.
But I could be wrong.
It's not unknown.

Had a comment that they are aware of the issue and are looking into it
