To my fellow mission runners

There's a lot of confusion as to what to do when you are attacked by an enemy capsuleer. It's really pretty simple.

#1: While missioning in low security systems, remain if possible aligned to a warpable target.

#2: Work your scanner. If a shady capsuleer appears, jump to safety.

#3: If you are snagged by a predatory capsuleer, don't lose your cool. Shoot at them if it looks like it'll do any good, but typically you are doomed. Regard the ship as a loss and focus on getting your pod out.

#4: Don't talk to your assailant, or into the local channel. They are hungry for interaction, lonely souls. If they weren't, they'd be like us. It's far more profitable to shoot mission targets than mission runners, they do it in order to get challenge or interaction. Give them neither. Behave as much as you can like a mission target.

#5: Don't seek revenge, don't respond to taunting mails. Bide and return to your activities after they depart, or go elsewhere if they seem minded to stay. Don't hire mercenaries, don't go and fetch what you think is a capsuleer fighting ship, don't put a bounty on them, don't do anything to encourage them. Return to your chosen style of flying as soon as possible.
