Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

I just got interdicted by a Viper and after a few minutes of giving him hell I got him down to 14% hull, then the little shit turned round and deliberately rammed me, losing me the bounty and destroying my brand new Cobra

I saw what he was doing and manouvered away but I am convinced its a new AI Tactic, be carefull out there and Fly Safe.

Wouldn't normally mind but I was returning from the Sorbago Conflict Zone (which was feckin good fun, killed a Clipper which was fun) and I had turned of my recording software so just missed it.

It's not new.
It has happened to me several times over different builds.

When I think it's going to happen (usually a head-on joust) I now get my thrusters ready. They do not follow your thrusted path.

It's annoying as feck, I know, but I hope this little tip helps!
