More Dueling Options

[Jeheil]

I think it would be good if you could duel different class ships, to practice stern camping, anti stern etc, so give us a way to accept say a Belona v an Aggie etc.

You mean like a decent lobby system?  Get in line Jeheil, and that is a damn long line;p

admin: lobbies are good and fun, but u are a tester so u have to test the ow with his shitty mechanics and die there

admin2: go to small battle if u want lobby

We had to do small battles with the Waffle and burgers to dual against any other 4th rate cause the dual system doesn't let you fight if the BR is off to much.  So something like this would be nice. Even if it's a click to allow unlock of BR restrictions or something.

This exactly. I was dueling a Waffle Hamburger with my Constitution today, we did a gentleman's agreement duel in the small battles room and had another player in a gunboat come in to even BR so we wouldn't have to deal with AI messing up the fight. It was fun, I called uncle as one side of my ship was getting low on hitpoints after repairs, I would have liked to try several other strategies (and builds), but it is a waste of time waiting on small battle to open, finding someone to come in to fill BR, etc. Besides this, other ships are fun to duel against each other, for example: I would love to practice my skills in Bellona vs. first rates (currently, I feel *pretty* confident I can take one out, as long as he is not an agile hull build Victory with turning mods), but I would love some more practice.

Also, is there any way to group duel? I have noticed some messages when I am in a group and try to enter duel "only ready group leader can enter duels." Does that mean we can have massive duels? As in 8 v 8 to practice strategy? I've never actually tried it, but it would be awesome if it worked like that.

Finally, it would be nice to have an "invite spectator" option so others can watch the duel if you want to show tactics or something.

I think the only way to do stuff like that is the tournament room

Except thats not possible since you need at least 6 people to start a match in the tournament room

Yah and some folks would like to do 3x3 duels too.   EIther way unless you have the password you can't even do that.

How about adding an option to place a bet vs your opponent.

That, sir, should be left to the gentlemen in question.

It would be. Both players choose an amount to bet, or dont, then accept and winner takes all. That way there is the option to lose/win something, without it being an officer life or ship dura.
