If one reads my comments well, then it should be clear that I do not mind the general 'everything is allowed policy' of the game. No, to the contrary, I value that, it makes the game even the more interesting! So, that was never the issue here at all!
I just emphasized that most new players having entered the EVE arena for say 3 months or less it would come as a real big surprise (in a frustrating way, that is) to see that 'even in DUEL limited engagements' they are conned out of their most likely very first ships by so-called "good PvP players" (I cite here from some above comment, obviously) who already know most of the existing loopholes because they played the games for many years.
Furthermore, I do not realy understand why so-called "good PvP players" would even have to bother falling back on using any odd tricks against new players(??) just learning to make their very first steps in duels? Admit, such strikes me as a bit odd! Yes?
And to avoid any misunderstandings here: I myself am not a new player; I just noticed an irregularity with regard to the option of "duel - a limited engagement" and then I wonder and ask myself: how would any new players react when they encounter such unfair conduct in "Duel" (and do not forget: most people associate the word "duel" with fairness, someway "The Knights on Horses" idea, 1to1 based on skills only, thus "bare flying skills only" in this case).
In short: I opine most people (even the new players) already know that everything is allowed in EVE and that is even part of the reason they must have joined since such results in unique and very interesting gameplay!) But, whereas it comes to duelling ( as an option limited engagement!) new players of course tend to believe it to be an exception to the general rule was made there: 1 player versus 1 player, no assistance of others, no dockings within fights and 1 ship versus 1 ship and a very effective way to build out ones flying skills in a fair way! Well, don't you think such new players would get a bit puzzled and frustrated when they noticed that this is not the case? And how would they react to such an surprising experience, meaning for instance a "good PvP pilot" after losing sneaking in his closeby station to get another ship hahahaha?
Would it not be far more logic and realistic that when in PVP (limited engagement option) a ship is destroyed that the fight is over?? I am convinced that Captain James T. Kirk would have fully agreed with me upon this (otherwise also he would end up having to beat his opponent Khan over and over and over and over again in the very same duel since Khan would keep coming back after 40 seconds with all kinds of new vessels and customized load-outs! Imagine that! hahahaha
