Leaving the fight, fighters vs caps

[timmychen]

we need
all npc capship patrols to have shields
manhatten defence npc replaced with VHF and ultra light equivalent, with eqivalent weapons
over boosted station turrets.

and there we go. No more pirates invading a capital planet with a small fleet of 3 bomber and 1 lf.

Is this also april fools? I really hope so.

And.. questions:

1) If you boost away, and the person you were fighting doesn't follow (enemy isn't engaged with anyone else, just not following), does it count as a retreat once you are 10+ km away from them?

2) Wait, I remember. If two people fighting agree to call it a "draw" and go their seperate ways without formally "losing" or "retreating", do they both have to leave the system? Of course, both sides need to consent.. SS taken in case one side complains
