"Taking advantage of someone experiencing technical problems with a game imo is Cheating."
This is where you are mistaken Zygote.
If you're having a problem, don't expect the other guy to break off because you ask him to. Indeed, I consider it pointless to even ask the enemy to do so. Your problem is exactly that--YOUR problem, not the other guy's--so you shouldn't expect him to break off his fight because of your problem.
A few weeks ago I recall I entered a fight only discover my WEP was not functional (discovered later to be due to bad throttle calibration). At that point I was more interested in figuring out the problem than in fighting and I tried to exit, but an LA7 (piloted by some Pyemia guy) shot me down. Did I care? Nope, and I certainly don't think he's a cheater because my WEP wasn't working. From his perspective I'm sure he was just killing another runstang. From my perspective, I had a problem and it messed up my flight.
In this current case, you ended up getting a kill on the other guy despite a large problem. Rather than be irritated that he was trying to shoot you, you should pat yourself on the back and remind him that he LOST to a guy with a single-digit FR.
