As suggested by Sar Random a delay of 2 minutes after logging seems appropriate before a ship can disappear in space. However, logging should still not be a way of escaping distruction in combat. I suggest that if a ship is targetted when its owner logs off - the ship cannot disappear until two minutes after the targeting is stopped. Logging off while you are in the middle of combat would then be the equivilent of leaving your ship controls and hiding under your seat (not an effective means of escape). Another point that I have raised before in other posts, I do not believe that bounties are effective in this game because the bounty target can share the bounty with a friendly bounty hunter. In order to avoid such bounty fraud, I suggest that bounty targets with security ratings below -5 should have to pay a fee to use an advanced clone equal to the bounty on their head at the time of death. The fee would be justified as the added cost of obtaining an advanced clone through back alley channels for such a notorious criminal. If people know that the bounty target will suffer genuine harm (either in money or skills) from collection of the bounty, then I believe that bounty prices will go up dramatically. With higher bounties then bounty hunting becomes profitable, increasing bounty hunting and decreasing the need for nerfs on player pirating.
