As Shawk once pointed out, AFK stands for "A Free Kill". I've never given anyone grief for killing me when I'm away, nor have I ever hesitated to kill someone who is clearly AFK and flying. I draw the line if the plane is wheels down. I don't shoot planes on the rearm pad.... Just seems rude to me.... I know I know... Im splitting hairs..

 If that doesn't underline that everyone's interpretation of "honor" varies I don't know what will....

I give warning shots if it looks like the bandit doesn't know I'm there. If he still doesn't respond, yeah I shoot him.

I would suggest switching up the vox channel # that the DDs always use, or better yet use the mission vox channel. Often when I join a DD mission, including last night, I see shade accounts on the vox channel used.

So do I.  Usually the first warning shot enters the rudder and moves forward from there. :cheers:

Honor is indeed all gone.

There's just no room for it when the only thing that matters is the numbers.  Because numbers do not lie.  Evar.

Triton, some will play for numbers and others for some sort of aerial knight code.  Who cares?  Play the way you want to.  I lean toward the code but certainly get great satisfaction from doing things some of you noble knights of the air frown upon.  I once laughed for at least ten minutes after catching a horde forming up on a runway at a base i was going to pork.  Too bad I got greedy and didn't get to land those many rocket and bomb vulch kills.  I'm smiling just thinking of that day.

I have formed up with AFK guys on occasion when I was feeling silly and given them a chance to do something about it.  After a minute or two I put them down.  I don't feel it is his right to get a free pass to 25k over our territory just because he's AFK though.

All this talk of morality and honor.  Well I honor my moral imperative to teach people to pay attention to what they're doing.   :cheers:
