Given the amount of fury that the current rules of Skirmish generates (found here, here and here), specifically with regards to the time a "last man standing" situation can take up, would it be possible to look into changing the victory conditions so that the time-pressed belly-achers don't get their knickers in quite so much of a twist?

Possible solutions are:

• Reduce the time or numbers down, to 10 minutes or first team to 10 kills (or similar).

or, a personal favorite but a bit trickier to put in place.

• The team with the most kills, 30 seconds since the last shot that has done damage, wins.

Both formats encourage quicker game play than the current mode, creating a quick melee situation rather than the slower battle-royal of Conquest and Assault, so would provide a fast-fix alternative for time-pressed mech-warriors.

I'd prefer that this is turned into a new game mode named "Skirmish - ADHD Edition". If that's not politically correct ( ), then call it "Furball".

I'm all for 10 minutes, but nothing else.

I agree with Burktross on this 10 minutes and nothing else

Question : how would you feel/react if it was 1v12 with 4 minutes to go and the last man standing decided to use Hit-&-Run tactics that would probably take it to the full 10 minutes?
