Seal clubbing- When a highly skilled player deliberately competes with new/unskilled players. Usually in PVP.
Shield running- When a player runs away mid-fight to recharge their shields, and reengages when shields are recovered.
Dry- When a ship is out of regens.
Full dodge- When a player is being chased by multiple opponents, the player is forced stop shooting and constantly dodge to stay alive.
Gunsos- Fight with guns only. No missles, mines, or regens.
Full- Fight with everything you have. Guns, missles, mines, and regens.
To this day. I'm still not completely sure what these mean:
1IC- First in charge?
2IC- Second in charge?
HC- High command?

It was a response to roleplay attempts. You'd say something in character and they'd respond with "lol wut" and then probably shoot you
