jumping bots
I really think there needs to be some kind of regulatory timer on bots that pursue you out of a sector... like they wait x amount of time after you emerge from the jump before entering the sector (where x is the amount of time that passed between when you jumped, and when they jumped)
or maybe I'm just the only one that gets annoyed when I jump to escape an SF that is 1000m away from jump distance, and then have them all waiting for me on the other side.... *pop*

It's just you.
I've utterly not admired in Sercoland and I have a ball every time I run through Serco space from Deneb to Ukari, just for fun, awakening just about every Strike Force around from Deneb to Sol II (after wich they cut me some loose until border sectors again).
I even took a few shots at other bots while being pursued (wich earned me bounties).
The trick is to turn away right after the jump and turbo in the clearest whereabouts you can to clear 3000m. Every time you do this, you get further away from SF wich takes more time turning about and finding you. After 3 jumps or so, they're so far behind they'll never catch up and eventually loose you.

That's just bad lag or bad ping on your part, Cunjo. I've had that happen to me before when I knew I was lagging. (I never even survived much past the opening animation.)
Actually, if you just make a few in-system jumps you'll lose the SF for good. Just make sure to jump and then jump again before the SF bots make it into the first sector.
You could also fly faster ships than a Prom or Ragnarok and those SF bots will only hit you when you WANT to engage them. ;)
And can we make the Geira SF bots not hate me SO much? I mean, come on, 3 Seekers and 8 Vults EVERY time I go thru that WH? Sheesh.

I agree with this, but for me the problem lies around WH's. They are always waiting for me, even if they were 1000 m away when I jumped.
Anyway... naughty you for not sifting through 10 pages of flames, babbling, and well written prose:

it was an IDF Valkyrie Vigilant, and the SF shredded it to dust in under a second after emerging from the WH... which did not make me happy, as I only have a handful of those left.

I know all about how to evade SFs, the problem exists when you come through a WH, and the SF is already surrounding you on all sides when you come in (somehow they manage to close the gap and jump ahead of you while you're lost somewhere in hyperspace). When that happens, they annihilate you, almost without fail, before you have a chance to turn and boost away.

I know it has previous mentions in othger threads... heck, I made a few of them. I thought ti was time ti got mentioned again, and had it's own thread...

If you get the Priority Platinum SercoPass® card you'd get through even before the SF bots
