Now, just because they are pinging you, that doesn't mean they know where you are. Yes they automatically will ping you every time, but no, that doesn't mean they detect you and will react to your presence. Plenty of times in TMO I have just ignored a pinging destroyer and snuck right by or right away. Patience is your friend. Flinch and hit the jets at the wrong time and they'll detect you for sure. Be very slow and deliberate about your decision-making.
I know this doesn't make rational sense, but we are talking about a computer, not a submarine, water and an escort. The nature of simulation is often weirdness.
