how leave space combat?

[Kev]

How do i leave space combat? i can fly out of distance so they dont attack or follow me but i cant travel or set routes to a planet.

Same here, it feels like a bug, submitted it as a bug. When I get pulled out of warp, no matter how far I flee, I can never warp to any other location, unable to select locations on the map, etc. I have to reload the game.

I noticed this as well.

I was able to leave but I can "see" the enemies from all the way across the system in all cases. The combat music does stop indicating ive left the combat but the enemies always show up always in space (the red outlines) no matter where you go is a bit distracting..

how far away from them did u have to fly for combat to stop? i tried 20k km but still couldnt warp

I was able to eventually warp away from a pirate ambush after I had flown away pretty far (took 10 minutes or so). This was at the start of the game and I didn't even know about rebalancing energy to engines.
So I do think it is possible, though difficult. Make sure you put all power to engines.
That said, some pirates may have far better engines than you. In that case, it is time to reload.
It's good advice to make sure to save before warping.

I have flown over 30k from enemies, also to the point where they are no longer on my ship radar list, but still unable to warp or select targets on the map to warp to. Buggy.

has happened to me when jumped by pirates 2-3 levels above me ... i think you should at least be allowed to warp to the escape zone but make it that it takes a longer time to warp away.

Last time i decided to kill the pirates with the help of my wingmen, they attacked the next station I docked at.. that was a headache all right.

I was able to escape from a bounty hunter mission after leaving the area (5million Meters)

You should be able to warp away from any combat, but what I normally do is turn off my engine and use Engine Burst, it sends you flying away at like 250,000 km/h, and better yet you can literally spam it so you can reach speeds in the millions. I've reached 12 million one time somehow, not sure

You drift away enough distance at max speed away from enemies after which you can warp. You set max power to engines, hit SHIFT-W, then CTRL while holding SHIFT-W which will start drifting at max speed. You must repeat because at some point you will stop drifting.

Works for me every time I wish to leave, especially against warp disruptions from pirates. It will not work with big ships that cannot drift like trading ships or the Xanthean capital ship.
