New Fleeing Rules

[Schatten Research Facility]

Gunboats are supposed to repel snubs and kill them if they don't retreat, not to hunt them down.

Retreating used to have consequences, now it doesn't. When retreating did have consequences of pvp death, it was the purpose of gunboats to hunt fighters. Now that fighters have the consequence free option of retreating, the only time that a fighter ever dedicates to actually fighting a gunboat is when it's a fighterswarm on gunboat gank - which frankly isn't very much fun for the gunboat.
