Um, wasn't this brought up once even before the forums layout changed? What happened to that thread?

This can be done by Alt+F4'ing aswell. No F1 message or anything. Just a vanishing ship. Sometimes it happens before you can get before/after proof that he did indeed disconnect.

Really? Alt-F4 doesn't give the message and instantly takes your account out of the server?
I seem to remember Alt-F4ing in a fight before, and still being killed due to remaining in space afterward... This was back in my lolwut days, that's right, 2 weeks ago. (nod)

Wrong.
Alt+F4 gives you still the message and your char remains in space.

Thats exactly what I have to say to this. But I want to specify:
I am piloting a transport mainly and after I have got the Stork with a little help by a friend, I made a lot of money in a very short time. Of cause I hate pirates demanding 10 or 15 million, like it happended a few times now, while I am enjoying a good RPed pirate encounter so much, that a demand of some hundred thousand value (or even some million) isn't noticed as a loss on my side.
But I have made hundreds of million by now, so that I would pay (or refuse to pay knowing I will be shot), or better: try to run! ... But never logg off while interacting with that pirate.
In Freelancer's world piracy is a dayly matter. Personally I don't like it. But my transport pilot does not know his world any better. He might wish there no pirates. But he simply does not know a world with (nearly) is possible. So he won't question it.
No, that post ist not to say how good I am. As for you can't easily proof wheter I am lying or not. It is to show you my opinion on this matter.
Freelancer is just a game. Beeing killed is not a pleasant thing. For a transport / trader for sure!
Its the game equal to the hardness of life. But contrary to real life, it remains beeing just a game.
Stay in your characters role. (If it does not please you (anymore), change your role / your character. If that does not work: leave for a while. Just take a break. There is no shame on it). And allways honor the rules.
As it was proofes thwo (?) days ago: rules a changebale. If a rule annoys you, make a request for change. If the community thinks similar, the rule will be changed. No need to break the existing rule meanwile. Just have a bit patience.
To repeat:

(Sorry for that speech like thing. But after reading this thread, it was on my heart to have this said!)
To the stars!
Pavel prompted:We are the money making company! And Hartmann added later while discussing that with me:The DHC way to solve problems? - Throw mony at it, until it diiieees!
