@CG_Carrie might be prudent to point out that those battle timers can easily be skewed by two factors.
1. Old ship fights lasted 7 minutes and during payout you have cross locking which will always run full battle time duration.
2.Unless you are taking out all fights 10 (give or take) minutes before payouts which last max fight time your numbers will be incorrect.
You're forgetting a third factor, though: Players who retreated or force-quit the ap as soon as possible. For every player who waited out a full 7 minute timer to maintain rank at payout, there are more than one who only "played" for a handful of seconds.
To be fair, though, both extremes are probably noted someplace, but have their times factored out of the final equation when it comes to average battle length.
