I found a space station and because I am a perfectionist I told myself I would not leave untill I have mined every single block. Halfway through the process hostile ships started attacking. I had just been using hull to make my ship bigger and the only weapon I have is a small missile launcher. I don't want to run as I will not be able to find it again by just as I quit the game my sheilds went down. Do enemys despawn when you quit the game or is there anyother way to get rid off them? Fighting is not much of an option.
I'm a wimp

Since its singleplayer they should still be there.
On a multiplayer server if you leave they will blow your ship to bits without you knowing it.

You can easily return, by noting down the coordinates at the top of your screen for \"Sector\". Once you\'ve evaded the threat or dealt with it one way \'another, you can set a waypoint in your Nav menu and easily return to the station\'s sector. It is then usually a breeze to find it again.
I reckon the enemies are saved the same way as your ship is saved. So quitting the game doesn\'t solve the problem with the pirate ships, because they don\'t despawn when quitting.
In this situation probably the only way of avoiding them is trying to escape. But since all ships have the same max speed this is not a great alternative. You should have equipped your ship with many anti-matter cannons. They are more effective against enemies than missiles unless the shields of the enemies are down.

That\'s weird... on similar-sized ships I had the opposite happen by accident with a friend..
When we tested his shields the antimatter cannon didn\'t do much.
In between then I made my ship with heat-seaking missile launchers.
Fast forward.
His shields grew even bigger in the meantime. He attacked the shop to have battle.
Was around, so I thought I\'d test the missiles (which I had never fired before in the game) on one of the trade ships.
Herp derp, his shields were fully-90% up. Heat-Seekers decided they liked him better. Ship instantly vaporized. 80% of it lost, insta death, as if they ignored it.
Immediate rage. And I felt horrible.. despite laughing my lungs out.

I just unded up running for it and abandoning the space station. I bought a lot of anti matter cannons and thrusters because I still only had the origonal amount of thusters from the start and they worked for before I upgraded the ship.
