If you are CHASING the guy and you hit cruise ... you are NOT fleeing. That's absurd Sovereign and goes to a "literalist" view of the rule. Lets take a look at the "spirit" of the rule shall we? Why was it this rule was created to begin with? That is the scenario we need to concentrate on.
How about we expand the hitting cruise rule ... "if the guy in afterburner continues to thrust out of range of his pursuer's guns and missiles, he is considered fleeing and must leave the system for 4 hours and cannot re-engage for 4 hours." This is more to the point ... he's running away ... he's just loopholing the cruise rule.
