trying to fleeing

[Stucuk]

And I am under the impression (told repeatedly) that so long as half your shields or greater don't go down and you don't fire back it isn't an official 'fight' and fleeing under that circumstance wouldn't be 'fleeing from a battle'.

Is this correct? (or one of those things that I have had wrong all along 'cause it was changed in the forum aeon's ago?)

Where does it say that if one person attacks another then its a PVP Fight. Bringing a persons shields below half is considered an "Attack" according to the rules. But it doesn't state that an attack is a fight. A fight is when you have multiple people attacking each other, not when one person shoots at another person. As a fight isn't one person attacking another person but both people attacking each other i fail to see how anyone can claim that the fleeing rule applys when only one person has attacked another. Fleeing rule is most likley to have been written so that you can't just fight someone(Both people shooting at each other) then when the battle is going bad for you cruise away, repair then have another go, not so that one person with a cruiser can shoot a person in a VHF/whatever with a single shot and there then forced to fight that cruiser(Which they have no hope in hell of destroying, aka Suicide run, which wouldn't be most peoples RP) or leave the system for 4 hours.
