Questions about rules related to pirating and random acts of terrorism.

[WesternPeregrine]

Old Thread but new question.

I am a trader. Pirate makes demands of me. I say no.... I run to a close base well being engaged, I dock..... That counts as PVP death since I was engaged.... So now I un-dock and wave to pirate. And leave. As per rules trader pvp death. I can trade and continue on. And I cant be engaged now!??? This seems weak. Especially for RP. It kind of breaks my Fantasy "Reality." Some simulation of a cool sci-fi reality here would be cool.

Also. If I'm a pirate and escape but dock. It counts as pvp death? Man sometime's I like running thats half the fun of being a pirate or un-lawful. But because it happened your now waiting... I get it if your ship was destroyed, but otherwise it just seems. Weak.

And any chance we could all get together and evaluate lessening that time? particularly if your ship was fine and didn't get obliterated? The 2 hours is lengthy it seems in this case. Some ships are not made to engage small armies and it seems odd to have the same time frame as one that didn't get away.

Being PVP dead is mostly taking the engagement rights from the loser. It's a sort of protection to those who won the fight against a pilot that probably docked, could repair and restock, and come back out fighting again.
Ships that dock out from a fight receive no pvp protections. It the winner's decision if they let you leave unharmed (because your dead), or to strike you again.

As per rules, traders "that docked" can only return to the system for the sole purpose of trading. So the pirates are free to pirate you again. IF you die to the pirate or anyone else, you should refrain to return to the system (and the pilot's location) where you were killed.
