Maybe you've got enough weapon and shield upgrades. I am/was still in the starter ship with only a couple of upgrades.
Problem is, you can't run, cant hide, cant even pay them off after you've started fighting. if you start fighting and realize you're going to loose, there is absolutely *nothing* you can do, except wait to die.   
Save scumming sort of works, till it auto saves in the middle of a fight after your guns have been damaged and are no longer operational.
The whole mechanic just feels bad from a game-play perspective to me.

My experience is that if you pick a direction and fly in it at max speed as soon as you're attacked, they won't be able to catch up and meaningfully attack you before your impulse engine comes back on line. Admittedly, I generally shoot them down whenever I run into any (regardless of what kind of ship and armaments I have, but I've got ~800h logged so it's probably safe to say my time wasted translated into some competence at space combat), so if it's changed recently and you can't outrun them any more, I might not be aware of that. I DO know that "pick a direction and fly for your life" still works on Sentinel interceptors, though. I'd also add that in my experience, this works if you're starting to lose as well.

One question, perhaps insultingly obvious, but since I never knew to do it for a very long time it seems worth asking... are you recharging your ship's shields during combat?

When the next expedition is out gonna play again.

gonna add

or just the first one if second is incompatible. There is actually a bunch of biome mods, but some aren't very up to date or compatible with each other and some have patches for them all, but again out of date.

pretty much fixes my entire (personal) thing with barren looking worlds. When I see a forest, I want an actual forest :P

It's possible you just don't know how to do space combat.
You just hold down "S" and keep tapping spacebar till the Pirates are dead. Prior to knowing that, I died.

I found a planet you'd like. Cold planet with an actual forest. The trees are kinda leafy for -95 Celsius, but you can't have everything. Even named it after you.
