In arena we got points for ship hits and player kills etc. So we know its possible for you to track these things. I think adding a similar point system to this PvP system as well as a battle timer. Battlers shouldn't last longer than 10-15 minutes it just feels like a huge waste of time if they do. I just throw the fight if the battles taking too long and the opponent seems equally matched.
The reason I suggest a point system is so that if the match timer runs out then you can decide a victor based off which team had more points as it wouldn't seem fair to give both ships a loss. In theory the one with more points would be a more skilled crew while the person with less might just be a better runner.
I don't think there is any reason a battle should last an hour with this system. While I can imagine there might be some crews who might actually enjoy a long fought hard earned victory... We need to keep in mind just how many battles you need in order to unlock stuff in this system.
