As I understand it, you are not allowed to use cruise in a fight to catch a part of the fight that has gotten far away. Do you have a different take on that rule?
But you WERE thrusting away to even escape his friends, right?
I mean ... you can't have it both ways. You either stay in the fight or you don't.
Now ... there is NOTHING in the rules that says you cannot "catch up to" a fight.
Here's a "what if" for ya ... you are in a large battle (10 or so ... 5 on each side). The fight splits into two parts (as is the nature of battle sometimes). So 2 vs 3 on one side and 2 vs 3 on the other ... one side is destroyed from the first part of the battle. They then decide to go and aide their buddies in the other half ... and that part of the "major" battle has drifted 10k away. Are you saying these guys are out of the fight? Or can they cruise back to aide their buddies in the remainder of that "large" battle?
