Legality and flags are very important to have a good grasp on. Knowing what it means when you get the different flags is necessary so you can see when there's a potential problem.

If someone engages you, a '''Limited Engagement'''-timer is created between both of you, to allow you to shoot back at the aggressor. 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>. | |||

| valign="top" | | | valign="top" | When your corporation or alliance is at war, the PvP-flag becomes deceptively dangerous because assisting anyone with a PvP flag who is at war will flag you as a 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 PvP flags which in turn will either flag the logistics directly or make them inherit the flag, spreading it around. | ||

| valign="top" | | | 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 an unprovoked attack by someone, then any assistance to the person involved with a limited engagement would force you to go suspect. Once someone goes suspect, then it would force the other logi to either go suspect or be unable to help. | ||
