Wait. You believe those characters are looking for a fair PvP fight? You must be new around these parts
Lol fair fights
Criminals and murderers generally don't ask peoples' permission before engaging them in their own inimitable fashion, nor do they stick around when things go south. Anywhere, not just in pretend future space. This whole concept of "fair fight to the death" doesn't apply in Elite except for the three people who play CQC. As long as the attacker didn't CL then they played the game as provided. Failing terribly at attacking someone to the point of fleeing doesn't make it an invalid move.
Sometimes I get the impression that a fight without a kill at the end, attacker or target, feels incomplete to folks due to other game conditioning. Many XP-based games teach the players that fights should resolve until death of one side or the other - fleeing is usually not even an option. Even Bethesda games encourage full-kill encounters with XP. Here, you only earn actual experiences, not XP.

Just Sayin.........
You have to pick your battles wisely. Not every conflict is worth turning into a major battle. There are certain battles which simply cannot be won no matter how much effort you put into them or what strategies you use. They are simply losing causes and fighting such battles does little to help you accomplish your ultimate objectives. The wise man will not let his pride get in the way of obtaining his goals, and fighting a battle which cannot be won is a prime example of allowing your pride to cloud your thinking!
I just LOVE the way the topic with the poor spelling, grammar and the sentence construction of a six year old...is instantly pulled from Generally Discussion and filed under PVP....
Should I grab some popcorn?
OK
Ready for the show!

Just be aware, English may not be the OP's Main Language, not sayin either way, but sometimes you have to give some slack as ED is a worldwide game!
Fair point!! Sorry....NOW who looks the fool

If you are so bitter about my English I can explain you slowly and personally in Dutch or Russian at your own choice.
But I beleave if someone can even partially use his brains won't have to much trouble understand my poor English.
Anyway up to you to playing fool and bragging on how good you are in this language.
once, you are an accepted foreign language user,
some of your jokes will be accepted, nothing else really change, so .... i got used to
This is the kind of garbage statement I fear FD actually thinks is true.
Murder and Combat Logging.
Have they happened to me. Yes.
But they are the exception not the rule.
And now there is a C&P system is in place because of this ignorance.
Anything should go in Open. Period !
Hey my friend...I already apologised up the thread...i snapped back too quickly without thinking about people who have English as a second langauge...I shouldn't have been so snarky!
That said...WHATEVER Language you're replying in...expecting people to "slug it out" till they're destroyed in a losing engagement is ridiculous...knowing when to "bug out" is Combat 101...
Well... then my apology as well to sound bit snarky as well.
Back to topic.... yes i know the rules of combat 101.... have 8 years of EVE-O under the belt starting from beta.... and yet..... If he is so brave to pull out the ( mostly PVE for mats collection ) fitted ship out of SC ( i know he was watching my modules on ship ) in your PVP fitted ship.... at least scrap your balls together and try end the fight you started.
You see thats why OPEN considered as infested area.... ( i know there is some PVP oriented groups which do decent fights with each other ) but the rest is big part of it in open is just trash. Gank or nothing.
Anyway.... its already old horse this discussion... dont think it wont change much in anyway!
