Lagg advantages
Recently i got shoot by some player who has big lagg and he has big advantages due to this.
He is able to sit in a dock cant be hit but can shoot (for more then 3 seconds). He can not even issue at this. When hes running you cant see him turning around but you get hit by a bunch of flares and he jumps 300m away from your position. He can ramm you with a bunch of flares and does not even take half the damage you took. And you have no chance to hit him since hes that jumpy.
This is not fair :(.

It's pretty much possible to exploit lag in any game to avoid losing. Vendetta is really no exception. If it's something that this individual does everyday and if it's blatantly obvious that he's using lag to cheat, I think you've got every right to report him as a cheater. If he just happens to be lagging and he's having just as much trouble hitting you as you are hitting him, I wouldn't really consider that a problem. Just avoid the lagger altogether and let him know about this issue.
Fighting a lagger is by no means fun. And if it's genuine lag that this person is having, it can't be fun for him either. Eventually he's either going to have to give up or he's going to have to find some way of improving his internet connection. Also remember that bots love killing people who lag. So if you're being chased by a lagger, simply jump into a sector with bots, try to get a bot on his tail, and he'll be dead in no time. The funny thing is bots don't seem to have trouble killing laggers.

Flare ramming laggers can kill you, but killing them is tricky, don't even get me started on their mines.
Derrr... yes. Laggers can kill you. Yes, it is hard to hit something that jumps around all over the sector. And yes, lagged out people tend to not run out of mines.
Anyway, lesser lagged-out players have it even worse than people fighting very lagged-out people.
Why can't we all have T3?

Lagged mines piss me off big time. A lagged person's lightning mines can hit from 2000m or farther away, which means that small lmine cluster can dominate a whole sector. :(
I remember some guy who was lagging so bad that his proximity mines kept moving after he dropped it. I swear to god it wouldn't stop. It traveled at about 16m/s and it just kept going. Several people witnessed the event. I blew it up before it went out too far, in fear that maybe it would crash the server if it didn't timeout.
When I used to lag myself (loooong looooooooong time ago) to do fireworks, when the lag was really huge, about 30-50 seconds, the mines moved according to other players.
