== When To Start PvP ==
The twitch based combat system of Vendetta truly makes PvP related to skill more than who has the best to equipment. However, equipment can still make a difference. In PvP, though you see a variety of ships, you almost always see the best variants of each type of ship. It is highly reccomended to get combat, light and heavy weapons to level 5 (5/5/5/x/x) before beginning PvP. These levels will give you access to a good variety of ships and weapons that will increase your chances of surviving PvP. Once you have access to all of the ships and weapons, it becomes all about who's the better pilot.

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.
== Common PvP Etiquette ==
#Respect your opponent. Kindness comes full circle, so treat others how you would like to be treated.
#After the fight is over, whether you won or lost it is considered a salute to message your opponent: "gf" meaning "good fight" (not girlfriend).
#Hail your target before attacking to give them fair warning.
#If you're going to roleplay, be able to tell the difference between acting in character and being personally offensive. You can RP an offensive character without insulting people on a personal level.
#Do not run from a 1 on 1 fight if you initiated it. This 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. You'll be right back in the battle a few moments later.*
#Avoid ganking (double teaming a lone pilot).*
#If you're using all ammo based weapons and you find yourself out of ammo during a 1 on 1, inform your opponent that you are out of ammo and let him decide if he wants the kill.*
#Be humble. Nobody likes an arrogant pilot.
#Don't complain if you die or were killed by an underhanded tactic. The game is called Vendetta, take that to heart. Instead of whining or insulting the person who killed you, keep a lid on it and go make him pay. Nothing is more satisfying.
All that being said, taunting and trash talk is okay provided it's all in good fun. A little bit of trash talk always makes things more interesting. =)
*5,6 and 7 apply only to 1 on 1 fights. In group battles such as Border Patrol or Border Skirmish, ganking becomes a viable tactic. Running is still frowned upon, but may be done with less disgrace than running from a 1 on 1.
