Elyeh, your first lesson in the "honor" of online combat. There is none. None, that is, except what you bring yourself to the arena.
That said, its nice to welcome new players that have a sense of fair play and can help balance the mental giants we have here who get their jollies taking advantage of new people to pad their scores. We call them (appropriately enough) "score potatos".
I'm also not saying you should give up your values. I applaud them. I try to hold such a view myself. I limit myself to "vulching" when I am helping to suppress a base for capture and no one else is in position to do the job. Otherwise I ignore people taking off until they are up enough to have a chance at shooting me down too when I engage. It often bites me but I'm satisfied with flying within my own set of boundaries. I just dont want you to get frustrated if things arent going the way you think they should.
Everyone has their own ideas about what the game should be. You, like everyone else, are free to fly whatever plane you want (within the limits of the perk point system), and fly it however you want. For the most part, you set your own ROC, and so does everyone else. Everyone pays to play, and everyone is fiercely defensive of being able to play the game "my way". Just understand, if you set rules for yourself, you will often be dissapointed by others and even angered. You have to decide for yourself if you'd rather give up all pretense at "honor" and play their way, or if you want to put restrictions on yourself, knowing probably no one else you run into will play by the same rules. I personally prefer that though, to not having any principles. Your call. Oh, and welcome!
