People afraid of the blue

[Pancakes]

I more often than not see people running from a fight and... docking.

What's the reasoning for that? I mean, in both cases you are dead the same way per the rules, only in one you show a green message instead of a blue one.

Mind that I am not talking about hugging bases, that's a whole different thing (not one that I agree with, but alright)

So, why are people so scared of "dying" in a computer game?

Discuss.

EDIT: I am not talking here about traders who obviously want to save their cargo from being lost.

WARNNING: DON'T TURN THIS INTO A TRAIL BY FORUM OR I WILL DESTROY YOU. Seriously, I really wonder about it.
