What would you change and why?

[Charon]

Have the sector strat elements play a bigger role in base capture. For example, much faster rebuild times if factories or refineries are up, making them essential targets. Similar adjustments could give aattacking supply convoy elements an essential boost.

I think this would spread out gameplay (reducing the horde factor) and also give a greater role for dedicated bomber and LW interceptor types. More A2A fighting in diverse situations.

I'm sure you know it is already designed this way.  You just meant adjust the rebuild times?

(Supply convoys were much easier to kill in the old days, those trucks are harder to kill now than tanks.)

Hey Mathman...you missed another one!

Permasquelch would be good, so would tying score to plane type the same way perks are. Anything that would reduce the Spit/N1K/La7 whordes would be welcomed, but the new FBM will help that quite a bit (except N1K).

Regarding the inability to quickly find the bases that are being attacked, have you tried the ".move xxx" command?

I concure with Closer Bases.

and would add

ReArm Pads at VH and Ports

New Squad:

"Anal Sky Accountants"

Recruiting now.  Please be prepared to present tax returns for the last seven years, plus recent colonoscopy results.

Must be willing to obtain a hit percentage of 5.125% per annum AND ingest a diet of 32% crude fiber.

Titty-baby crying whiners need not apply.

One of these two would be my "one thing"

1. A more complex damage model for ships. Compartmentalize the model to allow it to take on water when hit below the water line, allow for fire to ravage a ship. I'd like a bit more variaty in ship sinking "holy ****, that things still floating!" to "OMFG that ship just blew the **** up!"

or 2. Armor piercing bomds for anti-shipping strikes. Making people choose what to hit before they launch might not be a really big deal in the MA, but it would add a nice touch to events IMHO.

I'm thinking about putting together a care package for HTC, consisting of
1. A copy of Clash of Titans
2. The Game "Fighting Steele"
3. A bottle of scotch.

Might need two bottles lol.

Sweet, I'd love to join, but would I have to quit my SEA squad "Aviation Combat Lawyers", who are dedicated to winning events before the first shot is fired?

[HavocTM]

Yeah, my old squad "Super Ninja Clan" didn't stay active very long because anytime one of them got shot down they committed seppuku in shame.

It was a constant recruiting battle...

Yes. Adjust them to the point where you can't take a base unless a strategic resource is down (or at least heavily damaged), and adjust the rebuild times on the strategic resources so that once its damamged you have enough time to then take a base or two.IMO this will spread out the action and make the strategic aspect more than just a steamroller (though that would likely be how the indivudaul bases end up falling). There are other ideas that may have more LT appeal to reach the same goals, but this might be a good short term step.

LMFAOROTFPM Havoc too funny:D

[GODO]

I would add attrition as a reset factor.

[Pooh21]

attrition, that would be unfair bish would reset themselves after knocking over or first toolshed.
