PvP
Public Games:
Improved matchmaking. Games will start more frequently and will have equal numbers of players per team more often.
Improved the PvP Queue UI:
Queue list has been reworked to be more readable.
Each queue displays an average amount of time it will take to get into a map.
The queue minimum requirement for large battles has been reduced to a lower value (smaller game) after a queue timer expires, allowing for both large and small games to be accessible from the same queue.
Challenge System:
Players can now challenge other players to private PvP matches
Up to 20 players can participate
The teams can be mixed faction
Feds can invite Klingons to these matches, and they can be on the same team.
Participants can be from any tier
All tier 5, or any mix of tier 1 through 5
The teams can be unbalanced
For example, 10 tier 1 ships vs 2 tier 5 ships
The map the game will be played on can be set specifically
Maps are still restricted by game type
Players can set the number of kills to win on Arenas
Players can set the amount of influence to win on Capture and Hold maps

Challenge System UI:
There are team lists where players can change which team they’re on

The initiator of the challenge can adjust the team of anyone participating
There is a chat window embedded in this window for all players that have been invited
