PvPing Without Honor, Part 2 (EVE Online Guide)

EVE Online has some of the most intense PvP of any MMO. In part, this is because of the completely open-ended nature of PvP in EVE Online: there are no arenas, no artificial balancing of teams, nor any other theme-park-style MMO trappings. Duels have developed as one way for pilots to fairly resolve their differences. Honor is well and good for some, but others prefer to wear the black hat. This guide explains several dishonorable strategies for gaining the upper hand in what might once have been honorable EVE PvP.
