The factorum can and will hunt you!!!!!

I was at my space station..... doing space station things.... prepping for the next big battle with my ship. I noticed the unidentified signal in the distance like 11,000+km away. I payed it absolutely no mind, until I noticed something............... it was ticking DOWN!! I said whut!?? And it was ticking down QUICK like the business was on someone's mind!! I go into spectator, and 3rd eye rush to the scene. A factotum battleship was on FULL BURN, nose pointed right in my direction!!! And no.... it was NOT on patrol.

I think they're mad I gave it to their boy and want revenge. If I did my calculations right, it would take over 3 hours for them to reach me at that distance. which I suspect is longer than the default encounter time. But if they popped up closer they would have brought the fight to my door and right into my bedroom!!

Be careful when you see encounters pop up! One of those battleships is active and will bring it right to you. As of typing/editing this, that ship closed 200+ km and counting.

Something tells me it's just a mobile encounter. It would be awesome if at a certain point of looting their stuff, Factorum finds you and tries to destroy you.

I did have one Factorum encounter that was close. Dangerously close. Factorum parked a "Listening post" about 1km away, but it never did anything. I was flew a circle around it, got busy doing my projects for 30 minutes then removed it with the admin menu.

So, that's what that is. I have one I think is one at 2300 kilometers away. Not moving.

The closest I had an encounter pop up was 800 km away.

Real with limit. The ship does come in your direction but because of game limits seems like it actually won't reach you. Remains to be seen if one could spawn that moves away from you instead. It was extremely interesting to see a default NPC ship travel for such a long distance with Ai since it was released.
