Something i encountered over the course of a few modded worlds now but not sure if it is a problem inherently coming from SE or from NPC mods in general... maybe it originates from somewhere else but i am at a complete loss here. Thats why im posting it here since MES handles basicly every NPC mod out there.

Every time a Drone or some form of Attack/Defense ship gets spawned, they Rotate face up away from the centre of gravity and just slowly (somtimes not so slowly) fall to the ground destroying themselves. But only if there is no Hostile Ship or Player in the immediate Area. Sometimes, if they are still able to, they rise again when a hostile ship or player comes near them.
In Rare occasions they manage to stop just bevor they crash and then fly up until the just float between space and athmosphere or shot off into space. But i only saw this once so it could be something else at work here.

The first time i encountered this was with the "More Encounters Faction Wars Npc Vs NPC vs player" mod in wich a station spawns defensive drones if it gets attacked, aswell as escort ships for larger vessels.

Now with the "[MES] Agaris at War" mod i have the same Problem. I fly to a station that is hostile and the game spawns a few ships. If i am not fast enough to get in Range since they spawn like 2-3km away, they just do the same thing every time. Looking up and falling down mostly breaking the rear thrusters. If i get there fast enough they behave normal until i die or no other target is near them. Then they go back to crashing.

Even when i just load MES with nothing else some of the ships show the same behavior.
Whats curios about that it seems to only effect small Ships and only if they have no hostile target to "turn" towards. Big ships like Cargo ships or Bigger NPC Grids seem to be not effected.

They seem to try to stop but most of the times the rear thruster ar not sufficient. Maybe its them trying to sort of land in an idle position or something like that. Whatever it is it doesnt work.

Since i have this Problem with multiple Mods now all dependent on MES, sometimes seeing people asking the same question in the respective NPC mods with little to no response and not finding a solution via google.... i thougt maybe someone here knows something about this issue or has encountered it in some shape or form.

(Thanks in advance and sorry for missspellings/grammarfails.)
