Rules to live by in Eve:

1. If it moves, shoot it.
2. If it doesn't move, poke it with your turret and then shoot it.
3. When in doubt: Shoot It.!!
4. If it's not moving shoot it anyway, it might move later.
5. If it starts moving, Jam it, shoot it and call for back-up.
6. Just because it breathes doesn't mean it should.
7. Overkill works.
8. For diplomatic solutions: hit F1
9. If all is going well it's an ambush.
10. If all else fails - get revenge.
