so if you mash down your afterburners. . .so do they.
if you kill thrust and only tap your afterburners to keep your speed up you can outrun them.
this trick works very well to avoid cargo demands. once an NPC scans (and you know you have something they will demand) go to cruise speed and kill thrust, the npc will also kill cruise, but you will still be going 350.:cool:they quickly fall behind.
