Solo AX CZ — Interceptor aggro issues

I have been doing solo AX CZs for quite a while. I'm not great at it, but try to get a few dozen scouts and at least one interceptor kill each time before jumping out.

Over this week I've seen a marked increase in unprovoked, multiple interceptors making a b-line for me once they enter the CZ. It doesn't matter if I fire on them or not, nor does distance seem to matter. I'm still experimenting but it appears that if I scan one, the multiple interceptor aggro seems to be immediate. But it's happening just as frequently if I don't scan an interceptor.

They'll follow me 30+ km out, with the swarms, as if all those NPC ships aren't relevant.

Cold orbiter and shielded builds make no difference.

I'm just checking, have others noticed this? I'm just not good enough to tangle with 2-3 interceptors plus swarms and scouts all focusing on me. From an immersion perspective it makes no sense and it feels like FDEV has just programmed the AI to take out any player immediately.
