Admin notice: cruise is fleeing rule is removed

[TFinnegan]

Ok, much as I hate to admit it, this one I like.

situation:
Pilot A is flying a capship, and having a helluva time hitting pilot B who flies a bomber, and with skill, is able to actually take down pilot A's capship.

However, Pilot A gets lucky with two shots and ALMOST kills pilot B, who realizes he may have bitten off more than he can chew, and bolts like a bunny.

In the past, Pilot A would engage cruise engines and give chase, only to recieve the radio call from pilot B, "Hey thats against the rules!!!"

Whereupon pilot A would say "Oh, yeah..." and just give up, go home and have a brew?

Really?

Like, fer real?

frankly, i like this one.

(oh, and Im almost positive the Admins did this to reduce the literally hundreds of misguided sanction reports that they have to shuffle though to get to the real ones. I'm guilty of misunderstanding the original rule myself, and bothering the admins with foolish reports...*hangs head* but honesty is liberating, so I feel better now)
