Well people have been sanctioned by thrusting away out of range(14k) then fighting again in the same system.
So there you have your answer... I personally would change the distance to some 6k.
So if a fighter thrusts away to 6k capship can hit cruise to catch up since he's fleeing.
-----------------------
Oh and I don't thrust away "to annoy people" but to survive.. as charging cruise with 2-3 capships in firing range is generally suicide, because even those one-eyed and half-blind aimers can waste you in 2-3 salvos once you get down to 80.
