' Wrote:5. General PvP Rules
5.7 A player who was killed in a PvP fight must not enter the system where the fight took place with any of the characters on his/her account(s) until four hours have passed from the time of his/her destruction.
If the player respawns in the same system, he/she must leave the system within 10 minutes of his destruction without engaging anyone, except in self-defense. Other players are not allowed to attack one who is leaving.
I assume that this rule has been changed since i have last played.
So this includes trade ships now too?
i was un aware of this and was informed by a pirate when i re-entered the system from witch i lost in a pvp battle.
i did not know it had changed i just want to know what the deal is now with it to prevent me from breaking any rules.
This rule does not apply to traders. If you are killed by a pirate, you can still reenter the system to continue trading. However, you can't get killed by a pirate then reenter the system and hunt down the pirate with the intent of attacking him. You can only do it for trade.

i was not going to attack him, i actually avoided im by flying 25 km over the tradelanes. i had put some RP into the system and he pm'd me saying that i was not aloud to re-enter the system for four hours. i was confused because i always thought trades were excluded from the 4 hour rule so long as they did not engage.
Thank you for the help. :D
If we encounter a pirate, paid him and left can we get in a fighter and pwnzorz him still?
As in I thought the rule applied, but if it doesn't then does paying him count as fleeing?
Though I wonder what idiot of a trader would want to enter a priate infested system a second time.

I think you can... At least, I do it.

You could probably get away with it, but you would be a moron if you do it.

By rules, yes. By decency rules, no.
Stop saying pwned too. Its irritating.
Depends what you mean by decency.
I trade alot, I encounter pirates. They never destroy me, but I do go and tell people there are pirates there so that they get destroyed.
One time I did it myself - but that was about 20 mins after I encountered him and I was bored.
Paying, then switching to a fighter to attack him is within rules, but should only be used if you're in a lawful player faction, where it's your job to stop any pirates you find. Like if I attacked a transport in Kyushu, and that player was in IG or KNF, I wouldn't think badly if he switched. If the trader switches to a merc or something stupid to attack me for revenge, I'd be rather angry at him and he can expect to be charged a ton of money next time he shows up.
