Separate Duel Lists
So I was thinking, as I attempted to fight Mists UNBEATABLE Sky command prom (no light fighter has ever gotten him below 60% in a duel, and no other pilot has won a duel against it).
His point via his recent dueling was to prove that an AGT-only Skycommand prom is unbeatable used correctly. Uncledave has also hammered this point home.
What I was thinking was that maybe there could be the main general duel lists. And then duel lists for just light-light battles, heavy -heavy battles, etc...
Pitting all the ships against one another on a main duel page means that any balance problems that emerge (which if we're lucky, i.e. lots of new ships, will be frequent) influence these rankings heavily.
EDIT: chess often has different rankings for different time controls, and you can view all of them. Let each person have a light, medium, and heavy combat ranking

I almost did, but I was hindered by a ping 600 higher than usual... :(

That's a good idea, but a usabililty problem arises if you have too many rankings.

Shape, dividing by ship size doesn't make much sense. Maybe creating classes, but a Rev C vs a stock bus is more lop sided than a SC Prom vs a Rev C, and a SC Prom vs any of the Centaur isn't more balanced than against a IBG.
P.S. Solra Bizna, I do consistently better when pings are lower. The server makes a rough check of the distance between the target and shot when two clients disagree as to wether or not it was a hit. I tend to be a very minimalist dodger, only barely strafing enough to move out of the way of a shot before changing directions (because your acceleration is much higher at low speeds), as a result I get hit much more often if there is lag than if there is none. It's possible you would have succeeded with out the lag, but don't make that assumption.
