Bug - sometimes shooting a ship causes it to move away

[X4Starter]

Only happened once but when chasing down a ship and shooting, each shot would push the ship further away, regardless of where the ship was pointed

I know what you're talking about, I've encountered it many times before. It disappeared for a bit, but then came back. If you see a ship doing it, can you make a quicksave?
