I never get problems AFAIK from testing when calculating a ships speed using the 3.15 observations even with only 2 observations.

It makes sense now that you have mentioned waiting longer before observations. any slight error will seem more intense at short distance whereas leaving more time for the ship to travel levels it out.

When I was doing it before I often got results as if the ship was doing evasive
maneuvers

Nice one.
If it detects you then it starts doing evasive maneuvers, zig-zagging a bit. That's why I try to avoid getting too close. But they also might have warships in the vicinity and they will be directed toward you once detected. That's the last thing I want to happen. So I do my best to stay hidden all the time.
