Ok, I understand this. I'm not against competing and I don't mind the shootouts myself if it's a consequence of 'valid' RP or if both parties are equally interested in a battle. What I don't like is when pvp-minded players pick on lesser targets and bends the rp to make it valid.
Let me break it down like this:
Imposing your will on others is an unhealthy mentality imo.
And that's what all this boils down to in my eyes. Guy wants to dominate another, gets cheated out of chance and becomes enraged.

That is kind of a OORP reasoning you have given there. I wont know who is controlling the enemy ship...so I can never judge his talent. Which makes your "player picks on a newish and weak one" an invalid argument.
And if at all I come to know that you are weak, and I pick on you often, it is called powergaming and you can apply for a violation report and make sure the said player deserves punishment.
Also, if you dont want others to PvP you, fly a very neutral character, and dont annoy anyone... pay the pirates and fly within your ZOI, so you will never face anyone who will PvP you. This works for Zoners and even traders, who are lawful and dont annoy pirates.
You cant fly a nomad character, meet an Order and just simply fly away. Just because, you dont want him to impose his will, that is to kill you, on you, doesnt mean that he should not do that. He is an Order, and acting according to his character, he should have the nomads dead. And acting as per your character, you should have him dead. Both fight and even out. If you didnt want this fight to have taken place, you shouldnt have flown a nomad character. Get it? Its valid RP reasoning to fight, and if there is no RP reasoning to support the fight, you can get him sanctioned.
