that's good news
if you take a group of ships, out of 15 or 20 in a convoy there will most of the time be 3 or 4 that turn away while the others are quite happy and content holding the formation at "reasonable" distance. i think for most people, what "looks" like safe spacing distance can be too close by game standards as well as RL distances.
I think some ships also have the collision distances set too far out so they spook too easy fearing collision. so one may turn away at 600m while the next might not turn away until 500m. that one of the biggest peeves i have with the game is most similar ships don't share basic uniform behaviors and tendencies as they should.
