12. 1. Ship to Ship

Probably the most exciting part of SMR. Many say the thrill of the kill is unmatched. Once you get your first kill you will probably feel you have gone past your first mile stone.

Now you see traders (other players) as time goes on, and the newbie turns will disappear and the news will be full of pods and Port Raids and you'll be wondering how to do it. When you examine the trader, the next screen will say under newbie protection and others will have a button that says 'Attack Trader(3)'

If you decide to attack, the next screen will give you attack results. When you attack, watch carefully and know how much damage your ship can dish out and how much it can take. If you're attacking another hunting or fighting ship, you will need to be careful to make sure you don't die before you kill them.

If you have destroyed your target (or, alternatively, if they kill you), you will receive a message from them. You will give and take pods if you play SMR for a decent amount of time, so don't get down if you end up dying - it happens to everyone.
