It's not. It's giving a weapons timer, which is something else entirely.

If it gave a criminal flag, Concord would be racking up quite a few Orca kills.

Command bursts require a weapon timer, because otherwise you could sit a command ship by a station/gate/etc and boost your nearby fleet, while still having the option to immediately dock if you come under fire. The fact that mining bursts got it too is just a side-effect of them being part of the same underlying system, and I doubt CCP will make an exception for them.

It stops you docking or jumping gate for 60 seconds.

Nanobots with nanorepair kits are commencing nanorepairs of nanocrystaline armor structure or other nanostructures around your ship systems, its dangerous in station environment. They could infect ventilation conduits and spread around where you live, causing nanorot of your couch and other commonly used things.

You love station games Ralph!! Just admit it!! Twisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

CCP should allow MMJD in highsec to screw over you station humpers in JIta.

With a suspect timer that would almost be fair play
