Dueling

Revision as of 20:57, 23 December 2010 by Pointsman (talk | contribs) (rewrite for brevity and truth.)

Dueling can refer either informal consensual 1v1s or an in-game 1v1 rating system.

Conventions

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.

Formal Duels

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.
