I just got done flying a sortie that ended a bit oddly. I was in an L5 and being new, I didn't realize how little fuel it carried so I ran out. I was gliding to towards a freindly base, and had it in sight when an enemy spit moved to engage. Not seeing any way to win, I bailed before he even took a shot. He was however awarded a kill for me. and I received a message that he had shot me down. This just seemed odd. I floated to the ground safely and on exit was told that I had landed safely.

Wmutt, what you did is called a dweebish action (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)...
Every time you bail and some one pinged you a bit, or is in the neighbourhood, he gets a kill message.
Same goes for Alt-F4 (disconnecting game, modem, etc).
Next time try to ditch before he gets ya... then he won't get a kill message.

I wouldn't call it any more dweebish than attacking a crippled plane (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
After giving it some thought, I see where the kill (loss of an aircraft) should be awarded to the pilot, He after all, did make me bail. But it struck me odd because I had not been pinged at all.
Dweebish... You know, I'm not saying I'm not a dweeb, but in this particular case, I don't think I was very dweebish. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
