Every now and then, I will receive the "Hostiles Detected" notification when I am nearby a planet and I will turn around, land, and wait for the hostiles to pass by. This situation is no big trouble at all when attempting to avoid a battle, but there are also times I will receive the notification when I have been warping into space and I am nowhere near a space station or planet.
When I am in the middle of nowhere – aside from reloading the last save or destroying the enemy ships – there is not much I can do to avoid the fight as I am unable to active my pulse engines when hostiles are near by.
When engage in a space battle, are there any tactics to avoid the battle all together?

Once you get the warning for hostile scans detected, you can warp to a different system before the pirates arrive and avoid battle that way. Granted you will need fuel in your hyperdrive ready and if there was something of interest in that system you can always warp back.
