Jumping in Combat...

[SMGSterlin]

Because it is perfectly legal to flee. Read the rules man.

Fleeing is perfectly fine (now days at least), the difference is that with a jump drive, you're completely on the other side of Sirius most of the time.

If someone flees, he's at least still relatively close, and can, with good searching, be found. With a jump drive, there's almost zero chance to find him, it's essentially the same thing as docking with a station while in combat, when you jump in combat.

*Poof* He's completely untouchable.
