Any lawful's left in Disco?

Whoops, got caught up with finals and forgot to check forums...

To be clear, I'm not arguing the 4 hour penalty for dying. I 100% agree with that... the point I'm trying to argue is that a fighter COULD rearm in about 30 minutes (RL aircraft carriers, fighters sometimes land, rearm, and head back out). Believe me, I agree that gunboats+ couldn't possibly do it that fast.

Let me rephrase what I'm trying to say, maybe clearer this time: It seems like fighters and bombers would be able to disengage from a fight, and IF they successfully flee and survive (If they die in the attempt, it's still a death), they would be able to re-engage later, possibly if they go regroup with reinforcements.

It just seems... off. From my point of view, that makes perfect RP sense, and it seems un-RP'ish that this very specific but common scenario is not allowed.

I'm probably beating against a brick wall here, but I've learned to at least bring up questions rather than just let them stew and ferment. It's just that so far all of the responses of why we can't do this don't actually address the point I'm trying to make, but rather similar-but-not-the-same points. (capitals doing this is n/a, shield running is n/a due to still having, say, a 30 minute restriction to name two)

Maybe the head of the LN can answer this?

Oh, and I'm very well aware that this isn't EVE - why do you think I'm here? (though I play both actively) Don't worry, I'm not trying to say "this is EVE" or "this should be EVE" I'm not, don't worry.
