I have seen the same behavior as Vortex describes and was initially very frustrated by it. The only strategy facing two or more ships was to run, get one to break off from the pack and chase you, tear his rear off, and then go back and repeat for the rest. Then I discovered the wonderful effects of scattering armor and no longer feared wading into even a dozen enemies. OK maybe a little too overbalanced in my favor but then I appreciate Patton's words, "War is not dying for your country; it's making the other sonofab**** die for his country." Remarkably poetic.
Anyway, I should have known the Scattering Armor fix would be in a mod file and take far less than a month to fix. Thanks! [wipes egg from face and happily goes back to playing game]
