Many have heard that PVP requires perfect engineering which is a long grind and some are convinced that PVP is somehow shady and associated mostly with 'griefing'. This guide is also to bust myths about PVP that discourage people from trying it. The New Pirate Initiative's purpose is to foster respect for PVP so that the majority of Elite's players can come to enjoy the full spectrum of the gameplay Elite has to offer. This guide is also designed for the non-PVPer to know enough to get out of PVP alive with enough respect for the thrill PVP adds to the game to appreciate the dangerous part of Elite Dangerous.

There are lots of guides for beginners to Elite and PVP, but this guide exists to fill a perceived lack of a PVP-focused player guide that explains PVP to ALL ELITE PLAYERS such that they can understand PVP enough to respect it, survive it and go from beginner to PVPer in the most direct route possible if they choose.
