Are other faction patrols supposed to be patrolling and looking at everyone in a sector?
I ask because in Pious Mists IV my personal ship is being followed constantly by a couple of PAR Patrols

Load up the save and go to the map, you should see a couple of PAR patrols following my Kuraokami, constantly

I have ringed the two patrol fighters in the screenshot.
They follow me everywhere, and do not seem to have any interest in anyone else in the sector.
Previously I had three PAR patrol fighters doing the same, they bugged me enough to blow them away. Since they went to the graveyard in space, two more have appeared and are doing exactly the same thing.
Is this a bug?, are other faction patrols only supposed to follow me and my ships, or are they supposed to follow other factions ships in their sector?.

Well, if you will fly a known Yaki ship ...

Long time .. No Mantis number .. But I think this has been inadvertantly fixed somewhere along the way since 5.0 beta.
If it has I missed the patch note. Issue can be closed.

I think the term in law enforcement speak is "person of interest". 

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
