Faction Wargame Optimizations
The team matchmaking function is now available: pilots can form a Wargames Fleet of no more than 4 people and participate in random matching. The fleet players will have a higher probability of being matched against stronger opponents.

Friendly Fire Lock Warning: A warning will pop up when you lock onto your teammates in Faction Wargames.

AFK Penalties: Pilots who are away from keyboard during battles will not be able to participate in the Faction Wargame match for a period of time. Those who keep doing so will face a longer suspension, which will last until the next game period at the longest.
