This doesn’t explain why there were so many ships on the verge of destruction without previous fighting in this system, or why some of them were in clusters of up to 3 immobile ships in one place, in the middle of nowhere. It is possible, as this race would keep on jumping through that jumpgate into my system for one 5 second tick, disappearing before I could fire, but reappearing a few hours later - this time being fired upon as I kept FC assignments - they were fired upon in the same 5 second tick they appeared. It is possible that some of these ships were damaged but not destroyed and ultimately broke down.
