It's rather a live-snapshot of your fleet than a clone. You fight the current first fleet of a player with all its ships and equipment, if you change your fleet then it will be updated for the other players right away.

So you always do pvp in a passive way.

You don't defend yourself in any active way but you also don't have any drawbacks from it if you lose.

The only active pvp you do is by attacking other players and they won't get any warning, just the notice if they won or lost.

Therefore pvp only is an advantage for you to gain xp. Check the xp-table for this. Also be nice and put your two highest ships in fleet 1 if you go afk so that other players can profit.
