New Fleeing Rules

[dodike]

It's true that a single gunboat vs a single fighter will tend to end with a gunboat victory, but I've found that the most enjoyable gunboat:fighter ratio was about 1:2-3

The thing is, even before the rule change, fighters/bombers had the option of avoiding gunboats before committing to a fight. Now, fighters and bombers can run away at ANY point in the fight even after they've committed to the engagement.

The only thing I ask is that IF a fighter/bomber decides to fight a gunboat, that it has to live with that choice and not have the option to escape with no consequences.

Same goes for gunboats engaging single fighters. Avoid fighting multiple opponents without support or higher ground. A single fighter will be still forced to dock within scanner range if the GB follows and therefore PvP dead.
