Essex love

[Decerebrated.Individual]

The pirate is unable to even attack the miner. It's essentially docking. And the miner will sit there for as long as it takes for the pirate to leave. And then the pirate counts as fleeing the fight. It isn't right, the Essex has no reason to be as over-powered as the Isis. The Essex's power should at least be lowered down to the normal battleship base level.

Maybe the pirate shouldnt have let him get there?

Why should the miner leave the system although he is in no danger of dying?

Its totally unrealistic to expect him to do that.

In my rules reform (see he links in my sig), I proposed a rule that makes this exception to the fleeing rule:

Moving away 10k does not count as a pvp death if the enemy is hiding at a base.

This allows the pirate to leave the base-hugging trader without having to leave the system.
