This causes issues with assistance however, our logistics would need to go '''Suspect''' (yellow safeties) in order to assist you (due to interfering with a limited engagement). In the case of being criminally flagged, CONCORD will engage and kill you in high security space. The response-time of CONCORD depends on the security of space, anything between a few seconds up to half a minute.</ref></small>.

| === While at war ===

| | valign="top" | [[image:icon_war.png|64px|At war]]
| |
| | valign="top" | When your corporation or alliance is at war, the capsuleer log-off timer becomes deceptively dangerous because in order to assist someone with a capsuleer log-off timer who is at war will require you to turn your safety to yellow and go suspect. As such, it's important to avoid accidentally shooting corporation members, since that is a legal action in and by itself, but it will give you both capsuleer log-off timers that will be spread to the logistics and anyone else who's offering remote assistance. The best way to avoid accidentally shooting corporation members is to '''''never target them without a very good reason''''', especially if you are in a damage dealing role. Most necessary fleet actions, like keep at range and orbit, can be accomplished without first targeting the other person.

| | valign="top" | [[image:icon_peace.png|64px|At peace]]
| |
| | valign="top" | Even when you're at peace there is a chance that flags might come into play. If someone enters a limited engagement, like if you suffer an unprovoked attack by someone, then any assistance to the person involved with a limited engagement would require logistics to turn their safety to yellow and go suspect. Once someone goes suspect it would force the other logi and everyone else who wants to lend assistance to go suspect as well, or be unable to help.
