Lite Subs and Duel challenges

May 18, 2014 Inevitable link
It would be nice if a Lite sub wouldn't have the ability to duel challenge a full sub player or vice versa. Maybe a message comes up saying: Lite subscriptions cant duel... and This player cant duel... Instead of making the player think a duel is actually happening only to find out that it didn't count.

Huh. We will look into it.

Even if the duel doesn't count towards the duel ladder, they can still use it to spar without having to deal with messy standing troubles.

Duels only count towards your rank if both duelers have at least level 4 Combat License.
Since Lite has a license cap of 3, duels don't count.

What Ray did not mention is that this is not an intentional thing, it was a byproduct of the Lite mode addition, but we didn't design it to be like this for dueling.

Also, we're going to add some kind of message that comes up, at the very least. Which Ray told me, but then didn't post for some reason.

Now that the SVG and IBG are down to level 3...maybe it makes sense to lower the duel level to 3 as well. Those are some pretty damn-fine dueling ships, and if you can buy the ship you should be able to be ranked.
