Some energy weapons such as Gauss, Plasma Devestator and Gatling Turrets Cannons have a wide range of auto-aim, making it easier to hit your target at close range, but their auto-aim can destroy their accuracy at a long range unless you turn it off. Smaller, faster weapons are better when long-range precision and accuracy is required, but they also require more skill in aiming manually.

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">Remember, the gauss cannons only weaknesses are their weight and their long fire delay. Use this information to your advantatge when fighting with or against gauss.</span>}}

'''Rocket Netting''' - When using rockets, a useful tactic can be to use their proximity detonation to your advantage. Netting involves shooting multiple rockets in ''slightly'' different directions giving your target less escape routes. I emphasize slightly because if done with too much variation, not only will your rockets most likely miss, but you'll make a large target of yourself as well. As with all tacticstechniques, this one takes practice to become efficient.

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">The best pilots have a variety of tactics at their command. Even if you're not proficient at certain tactics, familiarize yourself with them all so that you can recognize them on the fly. This will not only increase your ability to counter one-dimensional pilots, but allow you to slip in and out of these tactics quickly and efficiently should you need to do so. If something isn't working, try a new approach. Remember, you don't always need to be using a tactic. My favorite way to fight is to simply watch my target and adapt to what it is doing. The most I use any one tactic for at a time is maybe 5-10 seconds, slipping in and out of them to keep my opponent guessing. Above all, don't let yourself fall into a predictable pattern. No one fights exaclty the same, therefore you should not fight everyone the same way. Adapt, adapt, adapt.</span>}} == Recovering from a flare hit == Flares are the bane of many a new pilot in PvP. With their proximity fuse, high damage, and concussive stun, flares can be a terrifying weapon to face in a duel. Worse still, some pilots know how to '''juggle''' a target with flares, which will lead to a quick death unless you know how to '''recover'''. Your primary focus after getting hit by a flare should be to '''recover''' quickly so as to avoid getting hit by follow-up flare attacks. There are three useful ways to recover: '''Natural recovery''' - You can let nature take its course after being hit, and allow your ship to spin with minimal resistance. In mouselook mode, your vision will remain facing your opponent and your ship will automatically turn to face in the direction of your opponent once again. When using a joystick or gamepad this is more difficult as your point of view will spin along with your ship. This is not a useful way to recover if your opponent is adept at juggling. '''Quick recovery''' - You can use your radar to ''follow through'' in the direction of motion in which your ship is spinning, coming about to face your target more quickly. This takes practice, and is easier to do with a joystick or gamepad. If, for example, your perspective is jolted down and to the left, you should apply full stick in that direction until your target comes back around to perform a quick recovery. You can then lay down defensive fire or dodge away from your opponent's line of fire. '''Turbo evasion''' - You can immediately engage turbo in order to avoid the line of fire of follow up flare attacks. Continue until you are at a healthy range (100-200 meters) then turn to face your opponent. This tends to equalize the playing field, but be careful not to turbo directly into an oncoming flare. This works best with a light ship.

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">Having trouble dodging rockets? Use distance to your advantage. Try to bait your opponent into firing off a rocket or two by using a controlled approach, being careful not to get too close. Once he fires, full throttle backwards and strafe away from the rocket. Because you are moving away from the rocket, it will appear to move slower and thus easier to dodge.</span>}}

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">Another tactic that I like is to set your incoming ship notification sound to just outside of energy weapons range. I find 650m gives me enough warning to figure out if the incoming ship is friend or foe.</span>}}

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">When piloting a ship with a slim profile such as a vulture, be aware of which of your sides are facing your enemy. If you have someone firing at you from the rear, use the horizontal and vertical lines on your radar to make sure your slim edge is facing them. This will make you a much more difficult target.</span>}}

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">Have a chat bind set up to call your targets. Time spent typing is time that you could be fighting.</span>}}

= Etiquette Flight Assist and Autoaim =Although we all get absorbed sometimes, it's good to remember that this is just a game. There are no Serco, no Itani and no UIT. We're all just gamers playing a game. It's easy to get caught up during battles, but please try to be nice. We're all playing to have fun after all.{| border="1"|-== Common PvP Etiquette ==!! Flight Assist On! Flight Assist Off|-#Respect your opponent! Autoaim On| The most aggressive mode.

This When facing an opponent that is considered very cowardly and will come at the cost of respect. Running in general is frowned upon. There is very little penalty for dying in Vendetta and it's a lot more fun if everyone stays till the death.

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">Try binding your auto-aim to your mouse wheel or a joystick button that can be pressed quickly. This makes for a quick and easy toggle.</span>}}

{{Pirrentip|info== Does Anyone Fight With Mouselook On? ==From what IIf you can've heard, people who use a joystick setup prefer mouselook off. I use a mouse setup and prefer it t hit target when fighting at close or medium ranges try changing autoaim on. Though there are some pilots who use a mouse and like mouselook /off. My advice every half burst of fire, then look for this, as with everything else, is play around with them shot's path in both modes and find out notice what you likedamages specific opponent. -- This is a matter of preference, though in order to utilize a joystick properly, mouselook must be off. ISudden shot'm going to edit in a section s trajectory changes made by A/A on this a bit later/off may surprise and damage even expierenced opponent. ~ [[User:Cunjo|Cunjo]] 12:42, 6 February 2007 (EST)}}

{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">Mix up your styles and don't get stuck in a pattern. FA on or FA off, flying in a pattern will still get you hit. Like the auto-aim toggle, try setting your FA toggle to your mousewheel (you can wheel in one direction for FA and the other for auto-aim) or a joystick button that can be pressed quickly. Play around with it and see what you like.</span>}} == Dodge Binds ==Dodge binds are programmed dodge patterns. Basically, you press a button and the ship will carry out the manuver that you have programmed ahead of time. I can't stress enough, DO NOT USE DODGE BINDS. While temporarily effective, they lock you into a predictable pattern and make you incredibly inflexible. The binds will take away your ability to adapt during a fight. Also, you're not going to become a better pilot by using programmed binds. Keep practicing, find tactics you like and perfect those, but never lock yourself into a pattern such as a bind.

{{SKV|infoborder=Having trouble hitting your target? Try aiming using your strafes"1" class="wikitable"! CO. For practice, target an asteroid or stationary object and work on getting a good shot using only strafes and rolls, don't turn your ship at all. With practice, Wallis:|-| Tip: If you cant find someone online willing to fight you for pews so you can be much more precise using improve your strafes to aim and turning only skills there is many missions that can substitute for minor corrections. this This decreases your chances of overcompensating in your aim and leaving yourself wide open for a shotwhich I recommend.}}
