Trading and F1 question

[Vero]

"Man, that was a close one!"

Ive used that one myself a time or two.

I also like. Man, space is dangerous. I need some escorts next time.

If you are running from someone and you dock at a station not aligned with those you were running from, then you are considered safe and can log off (have a drink at the station bar, spend a few hours offloading cargo, do some ship maintenance, etc).

If you are doing so as anything besides a trader it would be best to log off or switch to a different character at least until the chaser has left the system; in observance of the retreating rule (though the spirit of that rule is more about shield runners and re-engagement, than running from an attack).
