People seem to have this mindset that the only win is kill spam. Any fight you can walk away from is a good one. That's as true to life as it gets. If you are clearly outclassed in a fight and you successfully run away and deny your pursurer his server message, you won. You don't need to go home and fetch your big brother and his friends and beat the hell out of your pursuer 5 minutes later. Thinking you need to resume a fight you (wisely) abandoned once the odds turn to your favour is just being greedy. Take your moral victory, fly to another system, and have a nice day.
' Wrote:engaging a a fighter allied to me and I am in my GB, I enter the fight and the two fighters run, thrusting away from me, and we both give chase. Once they are out of my range they turn and engage my friend who is in a fighter, what do I do? Slowly crawl up to them at GB thruster speed while my friend gets shot up? Or do I use what I have at my disposal to save my friend?
If having a gunboat by his side is what gave your ally his advantage in that fight, then he would be an idiot to fly off on his own after a numerically superior enemy. You don't need a rules exemption to save somebody who's doing something wreckless. Win your fights within Disco RP's rules of engagement or don't win. Anything else trying to rationalize cheating.
