my suggestion is: if someone leaves the game without honour ( no fuel or no engine or forced manouver by chit) ... but only because of damages he doesn't want to risk to get killed ... then he shouldn't be the winner of the game even if he has more points.
in terms of system : you cannot win if you have engine or more than 3 of fuel.


i say that because some pals get a couple of lucky shots and run away like rabbits


I see that behavior occasionally. I tend to intentionally avoid playing in games they have already joined in the future. Most of the games I setup, I try to keep the sides more or less equal and those types of pilots seem to shun those games.
Just my thoughts,
Bombadil
The runner had very little he could do once he lost both speed and restricted moves. I suppose he could have flown around and burn up his fuel with you on his tail and then retire. I am not saying he was right in leaving, but I do understand the reason he left.

Yes, in that particular context I would have left also. What is the point of flying around and letting the opponent take advantage of my weak position?

I think the concept of 'honor' as applied by the rules here and the fuel rules in strict fashion such as they are amount to a broken system. We all play with it but a case like this shows where it breaks down. In a real life context it is silly in many circumstance to continue flying until your fuel runs out. It is not my responsibility to offer my opponent any and every point making opportunity without regards to the circumstances of my plane.
