The hard part about playing chicken is knowing when to turn.

Was stalking this guy when he detected me and made a full speed run to try and ram me. Was at periscope depth and didn't have time to dive deeper so ahead flank, hard to port. He just missed me (ramming) and started to circle back for a DC attack when I made a snap-shot with a stern torp and blew a big hole right in the middle of him at the waterline. Mess with the bull you get the horns

@TheDarkWraith: Nice, hunter becomes hunted Since I have FX installed, the red flare is the external sign that makes me think "Ok, that one goes down, where is the next target?"

that's very incorrect thinking. The red flare is not a signal that the vessel is mortally wounded and is 'dead'. It only means the command deck suffered some damage > a predefined amount. You can get a red flare if you only target the command deck with your deck gun. So beware: red flare means nothing in the grand scheme of things (just purely visual)

In theory red flare is danger signal and white flare is used to lighten up the battle scene. So red flare should be used by the merchants and the white one by the escorts. In FX the red flare is just a visual eye candy, will not affect the AI response in any way ...

I think I know what you're talking about. You're probably seeing a starshell. Currently one ship can fire starshells with the FX Update mod. It will fire a starshell in your direction when it detects you and will keep firing them at a certain time interval.
