I liked how the snub event went! Even the lack of missiles seemed to go well, although some folks were still using Mosquito CDs....I guess wanting to get as close to missiles without using actual missles, but anyways. The lag wasn't terrible, either.
On dueling, I agree with Thunder. 1 v 1 dueling just plays into the hands of the aces more so. If you want that, there's Conn. This is supposed to have that chaotic battlefield feel to it, and I thought it did that well.
