It is not merely a phenomenon exclusive to the Core. Whenever a Vagrant approaches you and the chance is there that the fight could be remotely even matched, you do one of three things: a) Wait until you get more numbers to gank, b) dock, c) run away. As Lyth says, it's pretty demotivating to see you behave this way. If you don't want people to interact with you, that's a surefire way to get them to ignore your activity, since people cannot be bothered to try and play with people who do their best to avoid doing that. You proport to be part of the Order, or at least you're using the ID, so why do you not fight the enemies of the Order, the Core and the Nomads? What do you lose by exploding in space?
