Battle start escape timer

[Diodo]

Since we now start with guns unloaded, such thing that i don't understand, shouldn't the escape timer be longer at the beginning of the battle?

 

Maybe introduce a minimum battle time, this will eliminate "counter tag" too.

How will a minimum battle time eliminate counter-tags? People will still do it to get start the battle in a position of their choosing.

I mean defensive counter tags eg by traders.

 

You can do that...but in the meantime that the battle goes over you risk to be reached by other ships by the time you get out of battle. Now you get out in 2 minutes and gain invulnerability after that, so nothing to lose, but if you have eg. 10' of minimum time, in those 10' the pursuer may not catch you, but by the time you get out of battle you might find yourself surrounded or chased by a faster ship.
