Hitting cruise to catch up an afterburnering pilot

[Reverend Del]

The issue is I didn't officially flee from the fight, I was still in gun range with the AFA and hadn't gone to cruise.

So at what point are you officially considered "fleeing" while in afterburner?

I've held off myself going to cruise to catch up with a fight where part of it has moved off. Should I now say "screw it, their using afterburner to get distance from me, that's fleeing so I can cruise"?

So what you're trying to do here is to use the letter of the law to get in the way of the spirit. You have stated in this thread that you were disengaging from the fight. That makes you fleeing, whether or not you engaged cruise. By your own admission this was your intent. You may have never been more than 2k from the AFA but you were more than 2k away from the person you accuse of re-engaging. His intent was to finish off stragglers, your intent was to flee. Where is the issue? If you admit you were fleeing, even if you were not doing so by the letter of the law, what is the problem? Or is it just bitterness at the thought of losing a fight?
