Mistura Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi all. I have a idea for players getting TARGET PILOT. When players are going against each other with Target Pilot have any pilot killed by Target Pilot go to a POW camp for 30 days. The player can't use that pilot until the time expires. You could put a limit on how many pilots per player get send. Like (3) and the pilot who has been in the longest goes free. Plus keep a tally of how many pilots that pilot sent to a POW camp. I don't get target pilot because I don't want to turn people off to the game by killing there pilots they have put lots of hours into. The POW thing would work for me. They would just have to wait a while to get the pilot back. Just a little idea. Use it or abuse it I'm just trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munro Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Great idea. Might work better than flying Escorts and staying out of harms way, when out of "Avoid Death" skill too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistura Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Another Idea Have an arena called ANGEL FLIGHT. Players can go against each other with the knowledge that anyone shot down DIES. Only the bravest of the brave will enter. The entry level should be 20 or more. That way you have something to lose. The winners of these battles should get a medal that stands out, or something that shows that pilots bravery. Just another thought. P.S. Can you put a counter or something on the posts because if no one replys how do you know if anyone seen it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1440 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi all, I wholeheartedly support Mistura's idea of a POW camp of sorts. Even though I haven't run across to many human opponents who have purchased Target Pilot, nearly 100% of the A.I. bots use it with needlessly deadly effect.

Sixxkiller Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 While it isnt a bad idea, I think that it would be too hard for them to change through the code. Also part of the game is to assume risk and only having a 3 day lockout period wouldnt be enough of a penalty. -Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistura Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi MantaRay Just a few corrections. The Pilots are in the POW camp for 30 days. The 3 is for the maximum amount of pilots a player can have as a POW. The next pilot that would be sent to the POW camp releases the longest held pilot. (Prisoner Exchange) That would make players play more than 1 Nation. They think there fatigue is high with 4 pilots. It would get a lot higher with 3 or less pilots that can fly. Just my 2 cents.

Sixxkiller Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Still dont see them changing the game since it would be changing the code in a major way. Trust me when i say they arent in favor of major rewrites hehe. Kuroi and I have made quite a few suggestions that went "Down in Flames" much harder than this I do however think this would be awesome in matches against squadrons. (that is why I said it wasnt a bad idea) Be nice to have bragging rights and your enemy for 30 days . In ladder play I dont think it would be such a good idea. Kind of against the nature of the game to make it PG-13. But since I cannot speak for any changes as I know the same amount of details about this game as you. I just get an opinion as to how to make this game better, and I express it more often than I should hehe. -Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistura Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi MantaRay I don't want to make the game PG-13. I'm talking about Human vs Human games. If you play the Bots and they shoot you down, and kill you. Oh well. Easy come. Easier go. I don't see players getting Target Pilot as it stands now. Who would want to play against a human player with Target pilot. You stand a better chance with the Bots. Plus I don't want to turn people off to this GREAT time killing game by killing their best pilots. Plus I put in my 2nd idea the (Gladiator) Type air battle I called Angel Flight.If your shot down you DIE. The idea's are for Human vs Human battles only. Remember: Ace the loop, and eat the IMS 1:1 hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Mistura, you dont want to fight my Germans or Brits then, cause I buy Target Pilot cause its the gift that keeps on giving. But you are in effect saying that the game will lose the element of death in a human vs human game. I mean I like the fact that I can kill someone and they suffer the same fate as I have. Works both ways too. I am serious when I say that I wish I could take one of my lvl 25 planes and go after a lvl 50 human player. Hell I already fight bots that have equal skills to them anyway so whats the difference in a person that plays a bit smarter than a computer anyway? I was just playing an escort mission where a A6M8 WINGMAN on consecutive turns iced both bombers with the leader who fired 1 time and missed. True enough he had so many extra card draws but I have seriously never seen a wingman dominate a Wellington like that before. So when I dove on him and shot him down I felt like maybe I avenged his dispicible deeds! Even better when his chute didnt deploy and he went to Kamakazi Hell. -Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
