PvE enemies tend to be rather fanatical, locking on when the see you and never giving up. This makes kiting a popular strategy for Missions. It takes longer to kill the NPCs, and the resulting loot can be scattered over a wide area, but your ship will take relatively little damage, and since you are already running, if you decide to break off, it is usually easy to get away. | PvE enemies tend to be rather fanatical, locking on when the see you and never giving up.

PvP is much more difficult in this regard. Inexperienced pilots may chase you to their deaths, but experienced pilots will just let you run. PvP kiting is more likely to show up in gangs of fast ships that hit and run from multiple directions at once ... a kind of "wolfpack" attack that leaves their target unable to either run or close on a target. | PvP is much more difficult in this regard.
