Drunk or high? I mean whenever I sign up and do some escort the damn ship is usually all over the place! like following an epileptic at a light show...
Love it when they shoot me too,top it off they can't shoot fer a wombat.
Seriously though what is up with the NPC flight manners? erratic is an understatement.
So are those Korolov guys....
Korolov ships attempt to avoid enemy stations. This is generally a good thing, because it means the ship you're escorting won't try to fly over a pirate fortress then blame you for failing to defend it. However, if there are a lot of enemy stations, the ship may fly around like a ping-pong ball trying to stay away from them all. If you want Korolov ships to fly more directly, destroy a few of the enemy stations.
