What? I think it's a legit question, considering there was a difference for miners and trader in the old 4 hours rule.
Whatever.

Okay let me lay it out, for you.
This rule is intended to give traders a win scenario in a pirate encounter. By extension it also gives pirates and miners a win scenario in situations where they may be using transports to enact their operations.
It is not intended to allow combat freighters to re-engage endlessly. IF anyone attempts that they will face our discretionary ability to revoke the exemption.

Oh well...seems fair to me. Not complaining. Interested to see what will happen now.

Del, then make it an exemption for a transport/freighter being used with a trader/corporate id. Plenty of pirates use freighters and transports (including pirate transports) for piracy, not trading, and you are placing quite a burden on someone to prove what kind of activity the ship was engaged in before docking, rather than simply proving WHO the ship belongs to, and thus by extension what their activity was. A blanket exemption for a type of ship regardless of its pilot makes the enforcement of the rule more complex, not less.

e) Gunboats, cruisers (including destroyers and battlecruisers), battleships (including dreadnoughts and juggernauts) are considered capital ships.
Oh dear lord.
Might want to add miner ships in here if you are going to count them as transports too.
Just for the people who can read, you know.

There are no "mining ships" only "mining turrets"

Yeah right, sure.
They're just called mining ships and are used and made for mining. But they aren't really mining ships.
What was I thinking. Whatever... carry on. You're doing great.
