Gray area, need clarification

I agree. Docking at a base, with a tradelane, or a JG/JH, or engaging cruise engines is a retreat. Thrusting off in one direction is not fleeing unless you leave scanner range.

I was accused of "retreating" once in my rheinland bomber vs a cruiser. At the begining of the fight i landed a couple SN shots and started taking fire. So I thrusted out to 3-4k in open space to avoid the turret fire. I wasnt disengaging, just circling at 3-4k waiting for my cruiser support to arrive and draw his fire. Yet the moment my cruiser support got within 5k the ship in question immediately began blabbing oorp in system chat about rules and disengaging.

About the batt/bott leeching, can't say ive killed npc's specifically to get the batts/botts. But if they are floating in space, and i need em, you better believe im gonna tractor em. And i would bet allmost anyone else would too. But leeching batts and botts, if they are floating there and a person needs them, i cant imagine people NOT using that advantage if it's there. "Farming" is oorp no matter how you look at in my opinion, unless your a Farmer. Or the notorius "Harvester's". Heh.

(Example: I'm flying through nomad systems one day and in the system where the dyson airlock is where ya have to knock out the big ball like generators. There sits a battleship, killing nomads by the hundreds, thousands even, had been there so long he was entirely surrounded by a white cloud of batts/botts so thick you allmost couldnt see his ship. The game was even hanging up because there were so many on screen.)

If you stop the Farming you stop the majority of the Leeching and maybe even some lag. In my opinion.

Edit: Just curious and wanted to add. Have the admins or server operators considered RP Police or Server Rule Enforcers? They are VERY oorp to have flying around, but it seems lately they might be needed. Even if just on a "trial" basis. Just a thought.
