Battlestar Galactica Online Updated: PvP Matches Added

Recently, Bigpoint added some new features and updates to their hit online game: Battlestar Galactica Online. If you are into PvP matches, then it will be a good news for you. Since you can now challenge other players to private, instanced PvP matches (ranked battles or duels).

In these ranked matches, the game's matchmaking system will pairs up players of similar Arena rating, ship size, and class in their own private portion of space for a battle to the death. The top 100 on the Top Gun Leaderboard will be recognized with a special icon above the pilot and ship name. Alternatively, players who wish to compete against other pilots of any faction (including their own), rating, ship size, or class can engage in 1v1 Duel matches, though no rewards or changes in rating will occur after winning/losing a match.

In addition, when you're playing the game, check out the two new star systems in the Veil Sector: Nilfhel and Muspell. These two areas have just been added in game as well, containing high level NPCs for squadrons to conquer. PvP notifications and blockade warnings will also begin appear on the star systems.
