Hi, i'd love to see 1v1 PvP ship combat introduced soon.
One great thing about 1v1 you can't complain about the queue system imbalancing the sides.
Star Trek had more single ship duels than Fleet Actions! :)

    i would really like to duel with other ships aswell, which would also make it better for testing different builds.

    Organized 1v1 would be neat, since I do pretty well in it, lol. But of course there's always the issue of balance. I haven't been to the higher tiers yet, but in T2 I manage to win the vast majority of my 1 on 1 duels in PVP, and I just use common sense, I don't consider myself leet. Being Fed science with all sorts of heals and whatnot helps, lol. From what I see on the forums, it would be hard for a Klingon to lose a 1v1 match at the higher tiers. This idea, and the tournament idea floating around, would be great additions once the one-sided abilities are dealt with.

    This is badly needed.

    This would just be a disapointment. This game isn't designed for 1v1 pvp. This is designed for group pvp. The Feds pvp poor enough as it is in group pvp adding this will just make them worse.

    They need to fix the pvp they have not create more TRIBBLE.

    1 vs 1 combat will take place when Cryptic starts implementing Open PvP.


    And they got a lot to do with balancing, because balancing Arena PvP is different than Open PvP.

    I wouldn't waste time with this myself, but I'm not opposed to it being put in. The problem is this game is absolutely not balanced for 1 on 1 encounters, not even a little bit. We would hear too much whining about how OP some ship class is, probably anything with cannons or VM. We already see 5 on 5, which is two teams working to support each other, is pretty balanced while 5 on 1+1+1+1+1, or one team working together against a bunch of people who don't, is not.

    Although what is actually stopping you from creating a private match with whoever you want to duel?

    This is true. You would need to spec for 1v1 to be effective, ignore heals and aoe. Plus trying to balance each ship to be equal in a 1v1 would result in team battles being unblanced.

    That said, bring it on.

    Greetings,

    As a former Starlance League 1x1 top player, I used to have as my sig "1x1 SL, the true test of skill". We used to get to know each others styles and manner of flight, those were some great battles, many of which went longer than an hour, and this in a game without silly hull regen.

    Pitting yourself mano e mano against another starship captain is something that every starship combat simulator *MUST* have.

    I fully support the inclusion of 1x1, ladders and persistent stats kept on kills and losses, as well as every other stat that one can imagine, mnhei'sahe demands it!

    I don't think I've done 1 on 1 in a multiplayer game since Descent.. I kind of miss it.

    Indeed, 5x5, while having its tactical depths are special expanded cases of 1x1.

    I look forward to teaching the art of 1x1 in STO.
