Part of the problem is that the clock is running while the capitals go through all their animations.
I'd hope that as more ships with varying abilities come out, and people upgrade those abilities, ship synergy teams will be able to score a victory faster. I seem to remember running up against the clock in arena in the beginning, until I put together a better team instead of the five strongest of my starter toons.
Pretty concerned about this as well...it's getting frustrating that i'm more concerned with the game clock more than the opponent.
I generally run Mace as fleet commander and when you go up against another Mace the odds of a Draw go way up. Maybe 45% of my Mace on Mace battles end in a draw. Facing Akbar is marginally better but i've had the opponent down to 1 or 2 ships with 5 of mine left and times run out on several occasions.

I agree. Fun animations but the battles are drawn out too long.
