Duel Sector
A similar idea has been posted before.
But, I was thinking,
Right now a major problem with the duel ranking system is that its difficult to find duels outside of your local group.
The major place to meet people, Sedina B8, is also currently the site of a major IA-VPR-BL war, hence its a little difficult to get a good set of duels going(ones with an audience) without some worry about interference.
Would it be possible to make a sector where players are incapable of hurting one another outside of a duel? Then people could fight and watch without having to worry about problems with the sector.
It would be the groundwork of a tournament system as well.

Sedina B8 is also, of course, dead in the path of the Serco CtC route. As I roleplay a purely defensive Itani, I don't attack Serco CtC convoys, and in general prefer to stay out of Sedina & the rest of the Serco CtC route completely. But, as Sedina B8 is where everyone goes to fight, this makes it somewhat difficult for me to find a fight. Even if the dev's don't create a special duel sector like Shape describes, I'd like it if we the player's moved the stomping grounds elsewhere (somewhere in Odia would be my suggestion).
As for dueling, another possibility would be to make it so that when you're engaged in a duel, you only take damage from & can only deal damage to your opponent(s) (I'd love to see the duel system modified so we could have more than 2 participants).

it would be nice too to see people that are duelling in an other collor on the radar. I've interfered more than once in a duel going on in B8 (sorry for that guys, but it's a bit confusing sometimes with battles going on in a 360° sphere around you).
There's no rule. Fight wherever you want. There should be no "duel sector", no "fight sector".
I think the major issue that I was thinking about was tournaments. How do you hold em right now? without an extreme potential for someone to muck it up?
Arrange with your fellow duellist to do it in a different sector away from a wormhole or station?
If you feel it must be witnessed, make sure your witnesses can be trusted.

Hello all,
There are two ideas here that I completely agree.
ArHash is right when he says that people involved in a duel should appear in a different color so that everybody knows those two are engaged. Yet, if someone wants to interfere is still their choice and must be tracked and hunt down by the two duelists.
Shape in another hand raises a very nice idea to be put into the game, a fighting tournamant. perhaps with prizes for some places and a separate section from the duel stats in the webpage reporting the places of all participants. Maybe players could be put into different fighting groups within the tournament considering their duel stats or license levels.

if you want a private duel GO TO A PRIVATE SECTOR!! else STFU It's not that hard to say "meet me in sector-x for a duel", and to complain when someone interfers when your doing your duel in the middle of a baitball is your own fault.
I've made suggestions for a tourny in the past as well and still think that it is the best way to solve any issue people have in regards to regulated dueling. Per my previous suggestion you would simply need a single referee (like a marshel bot) that takes commands for starting challenges and naming the victor and awarding any possible spoils of victory. Could also offer odds on the duelists based on there dueling rank and accept bets for those looking to spend some of that money that's just rotting away in your accounts.
