Yes, but if I PAID, no shots were fired, so no engagement had occurred...
Why not? There's only a rule that says you can't engage for 4 hours after an ENGAGEMENT, nothing of a piracy.
EDIT:
Quote:*For purposes of these Rules, an attack is draining shields to 50% or lower, or hull damage, or when a Cruise Disruptor is fired. Intentional ramming of any large ship is also considered an attack.
