Originally in this example I had discovered this NPR with a stealthy scout ship, it finally got spotted and "escorted" out of their system. The NPR sent two of these missile boats through the JP to Sol following my scout, once there they did not act in a hostile way and were just buzzing colonies in what looked like a data collection excercise. They had been pinging me with actives now and again which again seemed like intel gathering. I am confident that had I done nothing they would of just buzzed all colonies in Sol then went back home, what seemed odd is when my "inspection team" boarded the first ship I would of expected the second one to view this as a hostile act and open fire.
So the only thing I can guess at is either there is a bug and this wasn't seen as hostile (zero shots were fired by me during this). Or there has been work on the AI done since 6.43 and they actually take into account their chances of survival before simply opening fire?
