Quote:3.8 Cheating (Also includes abusing game exploits)
Consequences: Bastilled
I will agree that it is very fun to ram a capital ship and then get flung away at -999m/s speeds. But only when it is done in Connecticut or while fooling around with friendly ships if you are really that bored. What you definitely do NOT do is try using this same trick when your capital ship is about to die and you need a quick escape.
Your ship is in Bastille until you post here and explain you understand the above rule.
If you require evidence, you may request such via PM from a Staff member. Only the accused or an official faction leader of the accused person's faction may request such. Once you have the evidence, and if you wish to dispute it, you may post in the Appeal Thread linked above. Do not continue PM'ing a staff member, as that will result in your Appeal being denied. If you PM a staff or post in the appeal thread and you are not directly involved, you are consenting to be subjected to the reprisal of my choice which may involve in game repercussions up to a ban. Blaming members of your immediate family, neighbours, friends, pets, and assorted Orcs, Trolls and any other legendary creatures may result in the use of Admin Right #CTE 750AE

To be honest, this sanction is a bit of a surprise as we tried to report people for the same thing before and the response always was that it's a game bug you can do nothing about.
But I realised it to be shitty. I flipped away for about 10k, enough time to think during which I could have turned around and ran but I thought about what I was doing and engaged cruise to, not run but return to the fight and eventually die including a personalised blue message.
I was always of the opinion that exploiting needed to be malicious and if I return to then give my opponents their well earned kill instead of letting myself drift into the sun or turn around and leave then that's not really fitting that definition anymore. I am sorry that it happened and I went back to die and finish the fight for it.
[17.11.2016 22:59:37] Death: NC-MNS-Paladina was put out of action by Cape.St.Vincent (Gun).
Had I not wanted to continue fairly I could have either ran or do the same thing again.
Considering the staff discussion that followed this report and the lack of ambiguity on whether or not such a stunt is guilty or not, I do not see why such actions would be ignored in the past.
Either way, we will take your word for it. Ship set back on Malta.
