Ship Suicides

[obnoxious1]

Lately, after a pvp encounter, or at times after getting ganked by hordes of NPC's I have noticed many people will plow their ship into a planet or star or what ever is available to avoid having to pay a high repair bill. OR have a allied ship shoot them down for the same reason. Is this not basically a OORP scenario?
Sure, I'll admit I have done it many times in the past myself, some of my ships had code names which can be expensive to replace or other high credit items that may have been blasted off in a fight. But role play wise, is this not just a way to cheat the structure of the way the game is played? Realistically, if you took damage regardless of the reason, you would have to make repairs & of course pay for them. To claim you have an identical ship pre stationed at the place you decide to play Hara-kiri with your ship seems far fetched at best.
Then I got wondering about how would that play out concerning the rules?
Rule 5.10 states

"Self-killing during a PvP fight is counted as a normal PvP death."

& rule 5.7 states

"A player who was killed in a PvP fight must not enter the system where the fight took place with any of the characters on his/her account(s) while the enemy (player or players involved in the fight) remains in the system, but no more than 4 hours."

As is, this could technically cause a loop hole to those rules. Example: (no ill intent to any faction.. just examples..)

4 Liberty Rogues get jumped by 6 LN, LPI & LSF, PvP encounter ensues after some good role play.
The Lawfuls get the best of the Rogues this time, BUT each survivor has taken heavy damage to their ships. Ok, lets say an LPI & a LN survived the fight, both had weapons blown off their fighters.
LPI asks LN to shoot him down. Thus on the screen appears "LN so & so has killed LPI whoever"
Technically, that ship was destroyed. Now, LN , also having some weapons shot off, decides to do a Planet dive & now you see on the screen " LN so & so committed suicide" Again, technically now a dead ship.
Both players in a sense have been destroyed. THUS allowing a loop hole in the rules that would allow the Liberty Rogues to return to that system because all involved in the previous fight have been killed.

Hopefully you see my point..
Would like to see others views & opinions on this as well AS LONG AS it stays flame fest free..
