More strange encounters
I was waiting too long in docking queue and decided to check out for possible reason of delay. There were two ships: a clean Python and a fugitive Telemachus escort. I blowed second one out and the Python instantly turned red on IFF. Well man, nothing personal, think twice when you hire someone fugitive to escort.. I decided to wait until he attcks me, becomes an offender and i may fire back. He did a very strange thing instead - flew away to the planet and burned himself in the athmosphere!

I clear case of astrodementia otherwise known as 'space madness' or 'spacers curse'. 
Probably the python was just fleeing from you dirctly in a straight line, just happened the planet was in the way.
Giles is looking into more natural behaviour for docking ships, maybe this would be a thing to fix also. (AI-checking for collision-course-> changing direction of travel by a few degrees).
