Just a small issue i came across that i would appreciate some clarification on, thanks.
Recently i was pirating when an LN pilot came and began attacking me (after proper RP). We had a good fight but due to my inexperience i was forced to flee. I docked at Rochestor Base with my aggressor off the radar - i thought i had given him the slip. Since i was not PvP dead, (has to be 10km radius when docking) i decided to go a different system and continue pirating. Obviously he had tracked me, somehow, to Rochestor, and was nearby after i had launched.
I thought then that he must have followed me and been in 10kms radius when i docked, meaning i was PvP dead. I said this, but he would not permit me to leave the system and he attacked me, so i humored him, docked and left the game.
So my question is this: after PvP death by docking, do we simply have to leave the system, or do we have to use a new character (in a different system) to continue playing?
The first time I didn't see you dock, so rulewise, you weren't PvP-dead. But after that I was camping Rochester to block the exit for you inRP. After I tried insta-killing you, you docked after shields were downed, so only then were you PvP-dead.

You only have to leave the system. However if you are in a new system, the navy pilot has every right to come and try to kill you again.

So for example if i am chased to a base and PvP die, can i legally undock straight away and leave the system?

The rules used to say that PVP-dead players had 10 minutes to leave the system, during which they were allowed to pass unharmed as long as they didn't engage anyone. I might be going blind, but it seems It was removed, along with cruise disruptors not counting as an attack (though the latter is now a justification to shoot trolls under level 30).
