Non consensual PvP, yes.
As of right now, there are armistice around stations and cities where you can't shoot your weapons. However, outside of those armistice zones, everything is free game.
If you catch a newbie flying in their Aurora for the first time having wandered outside the armistice zone, you can blow them up.
There is a crime system in game right now, where if you have a high enough criminal rating certain places may refuse to do business with you (for example, Hurston won't open their hangars for you to land), and bounties will be placed on you. However, there isn't much of an incentive
not to be a dick and blow up newbies in their Auroras (besides not being sussed out by the server), as there are no lasting consequences ingame yet. Your criminal record is wiped clean when you are blown up, and given how permanent character death (
another system they haven't talked about in years) and the insurance system haven't been implemented yet, there are no real consequences.
Next patch will bring prison gameplay, where if you die or are captured as a criminal, you spawn in prison and either have to work for the duration of your sentence, or try to escape, but if you die or are caught in your escape, your sentence is extended.
The plan is for armistice zones to eventually be removed altogether once there are long lasting consequences to dissuade people from being dicks willy nilly.
