Currently, escaping via TT portal [Pirate's Life 1 & 3] drop a duplicate flag so you can keep your emissary and leave a token for the bad sailors.
Diving, AFAIK, doesn't leave a duplicate flag for poor sailors.
For the sake of consistency change one or the other. IDC which.
Also, use this knowledge to frustrate reapers. 😘

Difference being, you can't escape by diving if a ship is too close to you. So.. not quite the same thing.
POtAtO
PotAto.
It seems inconsistent and as someone who appreciates and enjoys consistency... (Lawful Evil showing here lol)
I should drop an emissary duplicate or I shouldn't in both scenarios. One is just a little closer call.
I'm very much a fan of non combative pvp. I would like consistent rules for my tools. It's like a Phillips head bit on a multi tool v a Phillips head screwdriver. I can't really unscrew a non Phillips screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. But in sot I can unscrew a T10 with a flathead.
Tools not rules but rules keep getting applied to my tools.

I was gonna leave this out but "Leave Game" doesn't float supplies or cost repairs.
There are inconsistent rules for my tools y'all.
You sure about that? I thought that got patched out fairly early in the hourglass debut. Leaving game is a scuttle now, though testing to verify this requires two people on two ships on the same server...

Bet. You know 75% of my skillset is f around and find out. You wanna help babycakes?
That will end....... Badly.
@pithyrumble objection your honour, biased definition of 'bad sailors'.
Doesn't bother me someone portal hopping unless I'm attacking for supplies, you drop flag and any loot on board.
As mentioned the distance limit required for using dive means that you can't really do it when running, or at least the distance gap required is significant enough that it negates you being defined as 'chased'.
Did see a good hitbotc clip though where sotus is chasing him and he goes to morrows peak and uses the harpoon on rock trick to launch up so high that he could instantly dive on landing 😅
