5.6 Fleeing from combat and then docking at a station or planet while you are in range of the ship you were fighting counts as PVP death.

5.7 A player who was killed in a PvP fight must not enter the system where the fight took place with any of the characters on his/her account(s) until four hours have passed from the time of his/her destruction.

5.8 A player who was killed in a PvP fight must not attack the enemy (player or players involved in the death) with any of the characters on his/her account(s) for 4 hours. Self-killing during a PvP fight is counted as a normal PvP death.


Well about those three rules... i realize that i understand.... seems not all people do... let me explain, halfhour ago i was trying to pirate a hegemon in omega 7.... the hegemon guy fleed to the station with succes, he docked.... and 2-3 minutes ago he said me "let's try again, pirate" (or something similar) Tachaan! in a RHEINLAND GUNBOAT!!! if i'm not wrong, that a rule abuse.... i want to know more experienced people's opinion for that matter... thanks in advance

Yes, he broke the rules. If you have screen shots you should file a sanction report.

By docking he died. He cannot then change ships and come and attack you.

does pirating and the dock-death that follows include the part if you do NOT damage the victim? I mean, if you yell you gonna pirate my little me, but before you do anything that includes firing guns I dock and switch, is that against rules?

As long as he didn't drop your shields under 50%, I think it's fine.

He cleary is attempting to pirate you, if a demand is made, so your still running from an RP interaction. id say it would probably be considered the same.

Make sure to screenshot your engagement, that being a pirating demand or his shield going under 50%. Then screenshot the green docking message. Then when he undocks and starts shooting you, screenshot that. Those are the three necessities to prove reengagement.

Yes, it is against the rules. A pirating demand counts as an engagement, as established by a plethora of sanctions resulting from it.

I don't even see the point in considering it, if you are concerned at all for other people's gameplay, you'd already know that switching ships to shoot a pirate trying to pirate you isn't fairplay, or fun, or anything with a positive connotation. Thus why it's also a rule violation.

iirc, a pirating demand on its own isn't considered an engagement

So I could theoretically kill someone as per pvp rules if I spammed piracy demand messages to people that are in the progress of docking :/
