A Salute Suggestion

[Raptor]

like selector said

make the salute command only available for enemy cons, so it is like the check 6 command but use a different key (like shift ').

What about when you are fighting but neither of you can shoot the other down? I like to give that person a as well.

By that I assume you mean another con jumps in and saves one of ya (what kind of engagement 1 on 1 wouldnt end with atleast 1 of ya dead?). Well while the other con is going down in flames, you hit shift ' and a box highlights around that icon and you know it was sent.

Raptor, I mean neither one of you can get the advantage so you both simply leave due to fuel or whatever.  But I like your ideal the best so far.

Here is a briliant Idea!

Get rid of this retarded thing and bring back Ch1, set it to default off and forget it.

WTF is it? Why do we need to complicate things more than they already are?

Furious, this was not directed at you man. Your idea, at the present time is a good one. Its the disabling of Ch1 that isn't.

Blah.. Im out of here.

If we did have a button, like  check 6, how would the server know what person to give the individual salute to? If it was like the check 6 you would have to point your screen at that enemy con. This could get difficult in a furball. I can also so every person in a furball getting overwhelming ammounts of salutes from a frusterated guy who is not so keen on "gangbangs"

just make .s a private white text message.

Pretty sure the server knows who you shot down and who shot you down and can be told just to give the bloody thang automajically.

True, I guess my comment is more toward the area of a fight in which neither of you shoot down the other. We should just left the thing as it was, there was no problem with it. "If it aint broke, dont fix it"

Good, and STFU on your way to the door, your whine allotment has been exceeded for the year.

I think the idea to have it work like the check six command is interesting, but it'd be hard to do.  I never bail, so for me at least, trying to locate and select the guy as my plane is spiraling to the ground wouldn't work.  Also, there are the times, you don't know which con shot you down.  Then, of course, the times when you just blow the hell up.

Good point. The person that kills you is not necessarily the person that you were fighting with. Maybe a command that salutes every person that gets a ping into you? Vulchers will now be respected and get their proper salutes:D

You have just been vulched by (whoever).
Send ( )*( )  Y or N?

Ok it's not original.

Well if you dont know which con killed you then there wasnt much of a fight... therefore, no need for a salute
