When a new player joins, they have a chose; Join a faction/corporation and choose one of their suits or be independent/Join IMSRD for custom suits.
Do NOT play god. You are not invincible. Combat is all about giving, and receiving, damage. If a player has higher stats than you, it will be harder for you to win. Use your advantages, but don't forget your weaknesses.
Do NOT harass other players outside of the game. Leave whatever conflicts you may have with his/her character in the game.

If/when players decide to leave, their suits, along with the weapons and upgrades, go to the faction. Players of that group may use it from time to time, but it is not theirs to keep. When a new player joins, they have the choice of taking the suit as theirs.
Integrated Beam Rating (IBR) is the amount of energy a suit may dedicate to Integrated Beam weapons. The higher the value, the more IB Weapons it may carry. A suit CANNOT have a negative value here.
Ammunition is not unlimited. If a weapon is used for a prolonged amount of time, it may be necessary to reload. Take that into account when fighting.
