Dueling

Dueling

When dueling, there are no rules that the Developers have set forth that MUST be followed, but, there is a generally accepted set of rules that most pilots follow.
Duels can range from standard issue buses to pilots preference.

Rules

The accepted rule of thumb when dueling includes the following:

1. Opponents must have a starting distance of 1000m. Premature starts can result in a resetting of distance or a forfit of duel.
2. Any requests as to ship type/weapon loadout from either side must be honored.
3. Docking to rearm/repair and warping out of a sector are regarded as a loss for that pilot.
4. An issue in any form, be it from collision or self inflicted damage is regarded as a loss for that pilot.
5. 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.

Etiquette

When approaching a duel in progress, some things to keep in mind:

1. Before engaging, make sure that the pilot is not already engaged in a duel.
   (Pilots that are normally green will appear red on your radar)
2. When watching a duel, it is good to give the pilots at least 1000m of space for manuvering, as well as for "friendly fire"
