Get out of the system or ...

[Stucuk]

So, let's make a clearence here.
After i taked down your shields and more than half of your hull
you was at 1.5k far from me, cos gunboat's thruster is slow. (if you just continued flying with your thruster all was fine).
But you engaged your cruise and CD was unable to stop you anymore.
The fight happened want you or no. (If you are enemy, nobody will ask you if you are ready to fight or if you want to)

engaging or running, it's your choice.

Did he fire on you? If so your definatly in the right, if not then i don't see how it could be classed as PVP just because you engaged him. If FL was real you would have situations where one person jumps in beside an enemy and shoots them, the enemy is outclassed and trys to get away, but they wouldn't be forced to leave the system just because you shot at them insted there would be a chase. The fleeing rule should only count if a Fight actualy took place(Fight means 2 sides or more attacking each other, not one person doing all the shooting), otherwise its a compleatly OORP rule.
