I don't know what this "woods" or "hiking" stuff is about, but the scariest moment in Elite Dangerous is when you're far, faaar out of the human bubble, in deep, remote space... and, against all odds (the game is literally astronomical in scale), you pick up another player on your radar. You're lonely, so the encounter is exciting. And shocking. And mortifying. Out here, there's no system security. There's no repair facilities. You might be carrying months of exploration data. If they want to kill you, you're screwed. It's all the best and worst emotions all at once. :D
