One problem with playing the waiting game... If you are upping from a field under heavy attack attempting to defend it your odds are slim of living, and most likely you have made the decision to try to defend at all costs.  You get vulched and then you must wait what will seem like an eternity to be able to try again.  Sometimes one or 2 people willing to accept some deaths are able to hold off a horde until help arrives.  I personally dont see the waiting game helping at all, but hey it's only my 2 cents worth.

I usually fight rooks, so I can't comment about Knights.  I spend some time in buffs sinking CVs and lately I've noticed this:  I can take off from a semi-vulched field and if I can get 2 or 3k in altitude away from the field, frequently (not always) the vulchers ignore me.  Instead, they turn to vulch the field (although they know I'm going to sink the CV.)

Zazen, you are seeing guys new to the game, anxious to score a few kills.  It's very common among all new guys, Bishop, Knight or Rook.  I see it all the time.

I fly on the deck under radar to vulch. This cuts down on the time it takes to climb to 20k, and catches the a pilot taking off, or sitting on the re-are pad by surprise:) If anyone is interested in learning this technique let me know and we can spend a few minutes in the TA...

So on top of the time we make you wait after a death/capt/bail/ditch/land scenario there would be an additional modifier. Say someting like a "minus one minute" for every kill and "minus 20 seconds" for every assist. That way, if you get 5 kills (or 4 kills and 3 assists) you can re-up immediately even though you died. We could also have a penalty of waiting a minute if you land with less than 2 kills in the bag, I mean, why fly home if you haven't killed anything? But  landing with parts missing,  or less than 5-10% fuel would be excused of course.

The 'timer thing' only has to do with countries numbers, that's a different thread. I don't think these guys should be penalized, they need to be taught to fight.

AmReo, if you would like to learn a better way to kill than vulching, I highly recommend the Training Arena as well.

Vulching is an employable tactic, but is best suited to field capture. IE keep the field clear while the goon makes its run and drop.

Pretty much any other time, vulching is a pretty dangerous way to try to get a kill.

Please refrain from confusing Zazen with the facts. He has enough trouble in Zazenland. ;)

Skull ... honestly ... there is no way for me or you to stop this.

The responsibilty lies in their hands. If someone wants to stop this type of dweebery and learn how to fight, I can help with that, but if they don't want to learn how to fight, then there is no way to stop it.

Nice try except for one minor problem. I make it my personal agenda to re-plane these chaps at every possible opportunity. They are NOT newbies, they are people that have been playing a at least as long as I have, perhaps even longer. I don't think most newbies are familiar enough with the game to even conceive of doing this. You have to be fairly comfortable exploiting your energy advantage and disciplined enough to refuse to engage cons you encounter on the way to the base you are intending to vulch. The idea that newbies are the ones that do this is patently false.
