To present a valid option to a sect of the playerbase than loves the game for the duel ( mainly frigates, master and commander style ) I suggest the inclusion of a Duellist Perk.
- costs 10 points
- enables 1v1 always, automatic closes battle ( no countdown, immediate start on tag ) in the following conditions:
player is tagged
player is not tagger
both ships are same navy rate eg. 5th rates
- player cannot be tagged by different rated ships
- Duellists can see each other's info ( small flag UI for example, or added text in info box ) and can attack each other to a 1v1
- Patrol Zone combat - 90 minutes, no escape.
- no ship capture. Only sinking for Battle Over.
- warships only. Trader models not affected.
Pros:
- duels !
Cons:
- Spies in frigates
