I'm not actually sure if it's a bug or just my perception, but the previous activity of numerous small fleets to "gang up" on larger fleets seems to no longer be functional. A good example is in the tutorial, normally, both fleets guarding the jump point (or, after the mission, the 4 or 5 fleets around the mining station) will go straight towards you, even though your fleet is bigger than each of the fleets singularly. Currently, on the 4 or so games I've played now in 0.9, fleets will just e-burn away in these kind of conditions, rather than checking for neighbours and determine that together they can fight you.

Has anyone else noticed or experienced this? I'm genuinely not sure if it's a bug that needs reporting or just confirmation bias or what.

Yes. I noticed similar thing.

[Euphytose]

Yep, now that you mention it I noticed it as well.

Thanks for mentioning it! It could just be a different evaluation of strength where they don't feel that they can take you on even together. I'll keep an eye out for this, in any case.

There's definitely a bug with this; I reported it, though from Alex' response here I suspect that got overlooked amidst the flood of bug reports that immediately follows a release.

I've had several cases where all of a group of pirate fleets run from me... until my fleet circle is touching one of theirs, and then they instantly attack.  Yes, without me actually clicking on their fleet to start an interaction.  I should still have a save that demonstrates this behavior, too, though it'll take a bit of digging to find exactly which one it was.

(Ah, yeah, looks like I did miss that one.)
