On 2 Korolov escort missions with non-Antilles freighters, the freighter has taken unusual paths to reach its destination. The ship still reaches the correct point, but does not take a straight-line path and has thrown in unusual snaking turns. System had an asteroid belt with multiple pirate/hostile stations, but I had cleared them out before the mission.

My best wild guess: Does the ship AI try to avoid hostile stations now? Does it know when the hostile station is now defunct? The ship didn't quite take an optimum path to avoid the stations, but it mostly worked.

I've noticed this too. It's pretty cool if that's what's actually going on.

I noticed a Centurion doing this while flying to a station - he flew around a Kobol station, so perhaps that is what they're doing.

Yeah, but I had an EI200 going round and round the merry-go-round until I shot it with a KM500 or two.....and I'd already killed the damned enemy stations :evil:

It does avoid dead stations. I agree--avoiding dead stations appears buggish.
