Right, situation that happened:
I was in my fighter, going to change my weapons set up from 4x magma hammers to 4x debbies. I find a LH gunship with Pirate ID in front of manhattan, distance 2.5 kilometres. I'm by the Manhattan-West point lane exit, as i just came there. I turn back (with no shots fired from any of the sides, him in his LH gunship, me in my fighter) and go back to my "operation base", Norfolk shipyard. While i am in the lane with my fighter, i hear him taunting me "run, coward LSF, you are a coward" blebleble, as i didn't engage his gunship in my single fighter. I take the bomber from Norfolk, and find an allied Orca gunboat around. We both go towards Manhattan, engage him, and kill him.
So, capwhoring means one gunboat and a bomber against your gunship?
So, as i was in your radar range, though you didn't even seem to want to fire at me, it means i have to leave system for 4 hours because i took a trade lane? Unless you had some infernos or razors on that gunship, which you didn't (full OC turrets loadout), i was out of weapons range.
So, ... am i really such an easy target for flames?
EDIT: Really, if anyone thinks i violate a rule, just report me ASAP. I do not mind beeing sanctioned if i disregard a rule or whatever, but starting flame because you wanted to fight me 1 on 1 on my fighter, and i decided my bomber was a better option, without having engaged before with you, as you weren't even close to my fighter on first encounter, is quite sad.
THis might be classified as intelligence. It seems he was playing the role of a man without a death wish.
