" your speeds are the same, affected only by who accelerated first. "
Unfortunately, no. It depends on how far you are from celestial objects. Basically, their gravitational field is what determines your speed. As you get closer to a target station around a planetoid, you WILL slow down, giving enemies the opportunity to start interdicting you. One possible solution i found useful tho is to do a mini-loop: as you start to get really close to your destination, turn away from it a little (like you're aiming for something else), and then loop back. No need to do a full loop of shame, but by the time the enemy manages to get behind you again, you could reach safety.
