Deathmatch (PvP)

Deathmatch is the fighting on its own: two teams of players against each other, no NPCs, no cargo, nothing to haul home.

It is closest to the arena modes in MMOs like World of Warcraft, and leans hard on quick reflexes, strategy, and knowing how to counter what the other side is doing. Your choice of cannon, how you station your crew, and your mastery of speed mechanics are what set you apart.

Nothing is at stake. You bring no cargo in and you lose nothing by going down, which makes it the place to learn a hull, drill a crew, or settle something with another guild. Matches can be set up privately for tournaments.
