After the major changes a couple days ago, and of course your feedback, we've continued to look at 'em. 5.6 is being updated with a transport exemption. Transports are now free to dock on bases and not be subject to that being considered a PVP death.
The full 5.6 now reads as follow, a simple line addition.
Quote:5.6 Fleeing from combat and then docking at a station or planet while you are in range of the ship you were fighting counts as PVP death.
Transports and freighters are exempt from this rule.
As a note, we may waive the exemption at our discretion for transports being used purely for combat, however few and far between they are.
