New Feature: Custom Matches
Choose from a suite of custom settings and invite your friends (or enemies) to a private battle where you make the rules! Custom Matches allows players to set match parameters such as map, game mode, team size, and AI slot fill in a game of Dreadnought. Only their invited friends, and their friend’s friends, have access to this lobby. The Host can kick or move players as they deem appropriate.
Custom Match lobbies have voice chat enabled, allowing easy coordination with fellow players. Be careful when talking strategy though, as everyone in the pre-game lobby will hear you regardless of their team.
Matches can be configured using Recruit, Veteran, or Legendary fleets, but every player in the lobby must have at least one ship in that fleet for the game to launch. Matches can also be started with un-even teams if you like! Keep in mind no Trophies, Career Progression, player stats, or XP/Credits are earned when playing a Custom Match. Test out new loadouts, have a laid-back game with friends, come up with your own custom rulesets, or pit your squad against rivals!
