Message text I've kept my thoughts on honour to myself for a long time.....and it's clear that everyone has different ideas on what's right and what's wrong.
My feelings are very clear:
when playing a non-league game I will always keep fighting until my engine is out, my guns are destroyed or until I have no fuel left. Sometimes I'll carry on without my guns to try and distract enemy pilots, making it easier for pilots from my own side.
when the above does happen, I believe I am perfectly within my right to exit the board (and I will always do this on my own side - partly as it's a challenge trying to get home, dodging enemy aircraft along the way  ). This is because I try to play a little realistically even though this is only a board game. I try and stay alive as long as I can.
when an enemy pilot has no engine/fuel I will in most cases offer them mercy and let them fly home. However, I don't offer mercy to pilots who I know do not return the favour. Those pilots pay with their blood 
leagues are different - they're designed to be more competitive. As a result, I shoot down any planes with no engine/fuel left and tactically, if I am stranded in the middle of the board with no fuel/engine. I have a couple of times(still quite rarely) exited via the top and bottom of the board in order to deny the pilot a kill (and stay alive). Controversial? Possibly - but that's because I see leagues as purely competitive. And, in any case in reality I'd rather be alive than dead.
Plus, I am highly skilled in crash landing in no-mans land, after practicing landing in Lord Biclopse's vegetable garden, which is always dug up. Shell craters do not scare me!
