Shoot it in the back until it's dead, on the off chance they suddenly return to their keyboard. Then go help the team.

Take the headshot if you want, but don't spend 3 minutes farming every point of damage you can.

But, yeah, help your team.

Get back to the fight. Easy question.

This!
But the head is also a viable target.
If my team is going down anyway, it doesn't matter if I spend ten seconds for myself. If my team is winning, the answer is the same. Only when it is a close fight, the lone AFK mech might get spared. There is still the chance he might come back into the fight, so even in the close case he might need to die.
I'd never farm for damage!

Most other people I've seen? They'd stand there shooting it, so kudos to all those who say they wouldnt.

If you don't see that taking the cockpit or rear CT does have some merit.

It' really doesn't. minimal damage (i.e. cockpit shot) to ensure a mech is down isn't damage farming, it's prudent. A D/C is questionable.
personally folks should be glad we Don't have R&R anymore because we used to run up peoples repair bills if they afk'd, d/c'd or were generally *******. Again not damage farming so much as vigilante justice.

And if you do that, then the issue becomes moot, because it'll only take two volleys to kill it.

Cockpit shot the afk mech; the pilot might be out taking a piss but he isn't gonna have a ride now!
Then go help the team. After all if you let that ***** live, he'll turn the entire fight around.
Even if it's a light, it'll still change the entire outcome of the match if left alive!

Still haven't found a reason to place winning a match over trying to get the most kills in the match. Winning is just a by-product of killing.
So, to answer the question, take out the AFK immediately then get back in the fight.
