Trading and F1 question

[Flash Mp]

lets say I am a trader and I am being pursued by a pirate. I manage to dock with the mooring fixture while the pirate is hot on my trail. As soon as I land on the planet I F1 to log out without saying anything.

Is this allowed?

(This event didn't actually happen, its just an example)

I'd say its legal, since you didn't F1 out of actual combat in space. Once your on a station/planet, you're safe.

Well I think It Is Legal. If he is Behind you. But not if he shotting you. Hmm. I remember When My LH Chr. ANd Teamate Purusit One Trader. We Were in PVP When He Docked AT station And logoff. So I am Messed Here.

Once you've docked, you're not in combat anymore, so yes, you're safe to log out. Though, it would be good RP to say a few words before logging out.

Well, if your in Gamma chased by a corsair and you land on Crete, it counts as illegal.

Vincent's right. try using that thing full of letters in front of that screen once in a while. It's incidents like that that give traders a bad name in a pirate's eyes, and then flame-fests occur.

While technically it's not WRONG, spout off a little sass. "Better luck next time pirate!"

"Man, that was a close one!"

"Bloody constables couldn't be bothered from their tea".

"LPI - Liberty Police Incompetence. Too many donuts?"

or something of that sort. (sorry Zapp)

"Man, that was a close one!"

Ive used that one myself a time or two.

I also like. Man, space is dangerous. I need some escorts next time.

If you are running from someone and you dock at a station not aligned with those you were running from, then you are considered safe and can log off (have a drink at the station bar, spend a few hours offloading cargo, do some ship maintenance, etc).

If you are doing so as anything besides a trader it would be best to log off or switch to a different character at least until the chaser has left the system; in observance of the retreating rule (though the spirit of that rule is more about shield runners and re-engagement, than running from an attack).
