Mutal can flipping is a way to get agression between two pilots, why not give two people wanting to fight a right-click option to agress eachother without Concord intervention? Pilot A right clicks on Pilot B (both on grid) and selects the option from the window. Pilot B gets a notification stating Pilot A wishes to fight, do you accept? If the resopnse is yes a 15 second or so timer activates and after 15 seconds they get a standard agression timer between them.

To prevent abuse the following safe guards should be put into place:

1. A setting pilots can toggle (turn on by default) which auto rejects requests without getting the popup.
2. A cooldown timer of 10-15 minutes on the person issuing a challenge, but gets reset to zero if someone accepts the challenge.
3. While agressed a pilot cannot be challenged, but an agressed pilot may challenge someone wtih no agression timer.

I can't see why this wouldn't work. Great idea.

So long as it doesn't outright prevent people from "interfering" in a fight in some manner, I have no problem with this.

How did you Veterans start?

People can do whatever they want, this is just a way to get the agression timer without the hassle of can flipping or other mechanics. The safegaurds are there to prevent abuse and spamming people to fight.

logi's would still work as they do now. If someone assists they become flashy to you and you can shoot them, though this will be addressed in future patches from mu understanding. This is basically a mutually agreed upon aggression timer with all the consequences that come with it.
