Even though I don't even have any ships with a jump drive myself, I would consider jumping in and out of combat to be a legitimate strategy.
It's an actual logical conclusion of the use of the jump drive, after all. You get into a combat, you're starting to get beat up pretty bad - use your jump drive and get somewhere safe so you can re-arm and re-load.
Under the current rules, you can leave the system or flee the combat now via jump holes or jump gate and then return - the only time you're down due to a PvP death is if someone you're fighting against sees you dock.
So why is using a jump drive any different from using a jump hole or jump gate? Because you didn't think of it first? Heck, it's a great tactic and strategy - think about the resupply ship, follows the fleet, they start to run out of regens, it fills them up and then jumps out - reloads on regens, jumps back in. Rinse, repeat.
Certainly the manner in which this thread is discussing that it was being used by someone shooting friendlies is a violation of OTHER rules - but using the jump drive in this way - hey, that's a novel and neat way of fighting in combat. Might make you think about tactics now, instead of just a pure blue message.
