Cruising & Re-engaging

[RParade]

Please correct me if I'm wrong on the last sentence of rule 5.6 , but as far as I can see, if somebody flees from a battle and is chased, he may stop and re-engage at will.

Yes, when he is chased (= at the moment when he is chased) .

If now the followers decide to let you go, and you move about 9~10k away, and your followers change their course away from you, wouldn't this battle be considered as over?

Now if these two followers go away from you and engage another "bad guy" at a different place and you return and open fire again on them, would you still consider yourself being "chased" and therefore allowed to re-engage?

I don't, do you?

I won't discuss this anymore in the forum where it don't belong, there are people here who are specialized on handling such things...

Admins, please close.

.. First of all, you guys didn't let me go. You chased me through three systems, disrupted me numerous times, and were it not for the fact that my GOTO mode bugged (cruise dropped on me twice for no reason whatsoever) you guys never would've caught up to me in the beginning. I ran from Leeds to Edinburgh to Dublin, the entire time my full intentions being to rearm at Arranmore (where I was planning to engage you again, with or without help).

As I'm approaching Arranmore, you guys break off (but your Bomber is still tossing CD's at me like crazy, 'cause from where Cruise dropped on me you guys were able to get within 1K of me). When you guys dropped pursuit I continued to Arranmore where I resupplied, later on with Teknikal's help we set up a small ambush of sorts and killed your Destroyer, and then I'm getting an influx of complaints saying I broke rules..? If you fire on an enemy after they've entered cruise, then they're allowed to re-engage you at will. That's what the rules say, anyway. If there's a problem with that, then the rule is in need of modification.

It was cheap to begin with, I mean.. Originally it was just me and another Hacker engaging in an attack of opportunity against a lone BAF Bomber, and then suddenly a Destroyer logs on to help him out?
