Dueling A Duel is a fight between two individual pilots that has been where rules are agreed upon before hand. To initiate a duel , one of the two pilots must enter the "/duel challenge <pilot>" command, where "<pilot>" is the name of the pilot that you wish to duel. Once that has been entered, the challenged pilot will receive a message that you have challenged them to a duel. They have two options. Either, a) type "/duel accept <pilot>" or b) "/duel decline <pilot>". If the pilot accepts the challenge, the duel has begun, though some rules may should be discussed before the battle begins. If the duel is declined , the challanger challenger will receive a message saying that the challenge was declined.

Even though there are no set rules for dueling, there is a generally accepted set of rules that most many pilots follow. Duels can range from standard issue buses to pilot's preference.<br>

The accepted rule rules of thumb when dueling includes include the following:

#Docking to rearm/repair and /or warping out of a sector are regarded as a loss for that pilot.#A suicide in any form, be it from collision or self inflicted damage , is regarded as a loss for that pilot.#If , at any point during the duel, a ship not involved in the duel fires on or damages any ship, involved in the duel that ship should be destroyed (if possible) by the duelists.

#When watching a duel, it is good to give the pilots at least 1000m of space, both for maneuvering as well as "friendly fire".

#Make sure that, if you are in a sector that others fight in, that you don't mind being interrupted. Perhaps Finding an empty sector would be betterwith little traffic is a good choice for duels.

#Though you CAN duel anywhere, if you are dueling in Sedina B8, or sectors like it, do not expect others to respect your duel. These are combat zones with no without any "no fire" rules, where everyone is a target.
