What part of a ship cruising away and telling you they don't wish to engage...

[Jinx]

the recent sanctions show that it is not necessary that both sides need to be willing to fight to have an engagement. - an engagement is already happening when one side decides to attack - so in that point, he was right... when he attacks you - you are part of the pvp, when you keep cruising, you are retreating and you have to leave this system asap.

if he follows you, he is chasing - if you keep cruising, you are still retreating even in the next system - the 4 hours rule apply, so does docking or F1.

the part that he considered you by the IFF is - well, a natural evil. players LEARN that they need to consider people by their ID first - by their IFF second. - if the coalition ID is unknown ( cause its not a generic FL ID ) - unaware players judge you by the IFF, w hich does show Xeno ... and so is ( like the coalition ) hostile to an outcast.

he was right to attack you - and he was ... based on what he knew, probably right to call you a Xeno ( even if you don t like it - but if someone is not too familiar with disco - cause one is maybe new or something, "coalition ID" doesn t tell you much )

that incident doesn t sound too disturbing. - a minor misunderstanding on his side about the RP of the coalition. - but he did interprete the rules correctly... a pvp engagement happened the instant he engaged you.
