The owner of the ship can always board it. Target lock only prevents others from boarding it.

People talking about limited engagement timers don't understand the basic mechanics. You only get a limited engagement timer if the target shoots back.
Various mechanics were employed here to accomplish this:
1. He didn't shoot back, so he didn't get a Limited Engagement timer. 2. This also meant he didn't get an aggression timer. 3. Without an aggression timer he was able to eject from ship. 4. Dropping corp can only be done in station OR in space in a pod only (not ship). 5. He used the quit corp option to drop directly to his default NPC corp without having to wait 24 hours to drop roles. 6. A locked ship cannot be boarded except by the owning player, as he was the last pilot in it he was still the owning player (I believe people in the same fleet as the people doing the locking can also board). 7. People who continued to aggress the now neutral player got Concorded. For that to happen the player that died must have had his safety set to red. The OP claims they were all Green/Yellow. I would dispute that, but he may have been lied to by the pilot that died, it is common to cover up a stupid act especially when "exploit" was being shouted.
The bug that appears to have been highlighted by this incident is that drones continued to attack the now neutral player. However, this was partially cancelled out by the fact that they didn't evoke a Concorde response for their owners.
Did the Paladin pilot use an exploit - yes! Do I want it fixed, hell no! This is one of those case of 'be careful what you wish for'. We're all whinging about the 10 second session counter for switching ships in Citadels. I can imagine CCP making a ham fisted attempt to fix this (like no ejecting or switching ships while you have a logoff timer - 15 minutes after being shot at). We are already suffering major PITAs as the result of other bandaid fixes. I say let the Hi sec carebears have a way of saving their blingy PvE ships from leet PvPers too scared to go to low, null or WH space.
Edit: Most of them will never know about it anyway. |

P I R A T used this to change corp in space to get a point on me when I was blapping a POCO. But this is an excellent approach and as I was caught by the change corp in a ship after ejecting I will certainly use this if I ever get caught in something blingy. I was told that what happened to me was working as intended so I would expect the same answer on this one.
And the player who got Concorded di not have his safety on green that is definate as you stated. |

As in, "is this how they want their game to perform?" Whatever discussions they have internally, the answer will eventually be a simple yes/no, and appropriate action taken.
So we might be in for a "band-aid" fix (as you put it), regardless of what players want or don't want. I mean, they band-aid fixed hyperdunking although everything I heard on the matter was that it was an extremely niche and limited mechanic and I thought (and could be mistaken) that they said they'd only enact a change if it became widespread.
Now that this...let's call it a "technique" for now, has been posted to the forums, it might start getting traction. I can't see it being very widespread because it requires the target to have very fast reactions to get through the appropriate menu options plus the engaged ship has to have enough EHP to survive the time between initial attack and the pilot re-boarding. This is again something that seems like it'll be very niche and limited in capability, and if we learned anything from hyperdunking, that means it'll be patched in some fashion eventually.
To the OP - It's still in very, very bad form however to post about this on the forums, but I think that's already been pointed out. If it is a glitch or unintended loophole, you're supposed to file a ticket so CCP can nip it in the bud before it becomes a bigger problem. Blasting it on the forums makes their job harder and will endear you to no-one.
Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

I think you are being a bit dumb here, war dec entities use this to catch people they could not catch any other way, I was told by CCP that what they had done was OK so what this player has done is OK. |

Exploits were used and abused and then called "game functionality". You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. If the pilot had his safety set to green he would be perfectly entitled to apply for a reimbursement and submit a bug report.
However, how is your statement that he had his safety set to green any less of an opinion, than my statement that it must have been set red?

I want all pilots to develop this "technique" into their current skill set. I can guarantee you that mercs flying T3's will be ejecting, leaving corp, and flying away with our ships when the fight turns sour. Ive dropped roles and I'm ready to "PvP" in the new EvE. |

Dude, you really need to get your head around the mechanics of this game. You should have worked them out by now and I've already explained them in detail above once.
You DO NOT need to drop roles. You can simply quit corp and drop directly to the default NPC corp instantly even with roles assigned. What you can't do is go from one player corp to another player corp while roles are still in effect with the first corp.
Edit: Oh yes, and as Lan Wang has pointed out below, you can't eject with a weapons timer. |

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.
