Missions & Complexes

I'll try to explain this the best I can and ask a few questions.

I was flying a Rifter.

I seen a 'Natural Phenomena' on my overview in a system.
The 'Natural Phenomena" was identified by an arrow pointng downward.

I warped to it just to see what it was.

I encountered four NPC ships.
2 Coercer class..2 Inquisitor class.

All four immediately locked on to me and fired, and I returned the favor.

I went for one of the Coercer class vessels, it attempted to kite and I put on the afterburner and opened up with 200 MM Autocannon.

I got into armor on the Coercer but NOT structure..when it exploded.
It immediately reappeared in front of me and started firing again.
I locked on to it once again, but it did not show up on the overview or as a locked on target.

I bugged out.

There was an accelleration gate about 16 Km away, I assume leads to another room?

Question..was the reappearance of the Coercer after it was destroyed a 'glitch'?

Question..Has anyone run a 'Natural Phenomena before that could tell me what it is..ships..rooms..loot etc?

I've run 'Serpetus Drug Outlet' rooms but not this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi..
No, not a troll post.
First time on this 'Natural Phenomena' is why I asked about it.
I thought perhaps it was something about this type of area (Natural Phenomena) of space that caused the ship to suddenly 'reappear' and it was part of the game.

I went back with a BC.
The same ships as before (2 Coercer class, 2 Inquisitor class).
All four destroyed but this time none 'reappeared' immediately after being destroyed.
And, there was no gate there this time.
Did'nt observe any other vessels in the area either time.

Maybe a glitch.

Anyway, thanks for the response.
