Dueling can refer either informal consensual 1v1s or an in-game 1v1 rating system.
When dueling, there are no rules that the Developers have set forth that MUST be followed, but, it is a generally accepted set of rules that most pilots follow.<br>
Duels can range from standard issue buses to pilots preference.


The accepted rule of thumb when dueling includes the following:
==Conventions==


#Opponents must have a starting distance of 1000m.
Players seeking either type of duel typically congregate in Sedina B8.   Swarms and other fire-and-forget weapons are frowned on. Running or otherwise avoiding inevitable death is seen as dishonorable.
#Any requests as to ship type/weapon loadout from either side must be honored.
==Formal Duels==
#Docking to rearm/repair and warping out of a sector are regarded as a loss for that pilot.
 
#An issue in any form, be it from collision or self inflicted damage is regarded as a loss for that pilot.
Formal duels are initiated with /duel commands.  The first player to die or leave the sector loses.  If either player takes damage from a ship not engaged in the duel, the duel is automatically aborted.  Faction penalties are never awarded for killing your dueling opponent.  Pilots in the middle of a duel are displayed as light blue blips on radar.
#If at any point a ship not involved in the duel fires on or damages any ship, that ship should be destroyed (if possible) by the duelists.<br>
