Is OOS Combat working as intended?

Just wondering if anyone else is noticing problems with out of system combat.

There was a fighter and a trader stuck fighting in the same spot (on top of each other) for several hours with neither dishing out damage. When I entered the sector the Fighter then dispatched the trader within a few minutes.

Another example would be the HOP invasion of sector -2 -3 against the xenon. My friend encountered this massive engagement fairly early on due to exploration. I then experienced a nearly identical engagement when discovering the same sector for the first time. Only difference is I discovered it 10 hours later then his game.

So it looks like OOS combat isn't simulating properly in my game if at all. Anybody else experiencing this?

I think some engagements are just scripted and only happen when the player comes close.
