Can't hit fuel, thats what happened

That has nothing to do with it. People didn't stop upping because the fuel was 25%.

I think the fact that the city is larger it takes a lot longer to drop it so the CAP can't hold em off long enough. I wish they would spread the hangers out again tho. When AHII was new it was ok for the hangers to be so clustered, but now that most people have killing them down it is time to spread them across the field like AHI.

Mars is gonna get a "talking to".

Persoanlly I like the new system. Why? Because it is exactly the same as the old system for me. We are back to flying Knights full time and I have yet to see any disabled planes.

I did up an La7 last night tho....just because I could.

True, good point. I guess I attributed some of the fuel thing to it because if your first wave runs out of steam, you need all fh's down or they get the chance to move the fight line way back from the base. With 25% fuel it stayed pretty local and there seemed to be a better opportunity to establish and hold the cap.

The pattern to me is drop vh, est cap, work on town. Haven't seen many 1st waves get it all unless it's a surprise overwhelming mission, 2nd wave has trouble getting back in and capping.

First, I'm not a great pilot.... and I rarely rank in the top quarter of the scores, but I usally fly high eny planes. Only once have I been unable to fly my picked ride, and then it didn't bother me. I like fighting up hill, and a kill is much sweeter if it comes form a fighter percived as a dog, so yes I like it, and I think that after the shock wears off most everyone else will too. On a side note, I think most of the resistance is coming from folks un used to the Idea of external control on their actions, or prehaps folks that need an injection of self worth, people that need to get past the Idea that a particular chunk of tin will make or break them.

I think they could leave it off if there is under 200 in the arena. I don't see the problem as bad with the lower numbers.

Not to be disrespectful ghost but the only time the numbers are less than 200 is in the mornings when nits or bish outnumber rooks. Why shouldnt the morning players be just as inconvienced as the evening rooks. Its only fair that I can up spit9s in the mornings and club spit1s.

I say if we are going to have to live with this system (which i disagree with) it needs to effect everybody whether there is 4 or 400 online. A 15 percent majority is still a 15% majority no matter how many folks are online.

Two factors, 1 pilot has a much bigger impact on the ENYdisable. The arena dynamics are different during off peak times. There are small fairly even fights going on, while the rest of the high number country players are off milkrunning and not disturbing the fighter action.
Decision has been made anyways.

HT,

Could you base the numbers on those actually flying/driving, rather than overall team numbers?

Folks asleep with AH running, should not be counted against a team.

I agree its not fair to count them but, if you only count those in-sortie, then you could manipulate things by just organizing a big mission, because those waiting on the big mission to launch wouldnt be counted till they hit fly.

Seen kweassa asked for 30 minuites of non-sortie idle to be automatically disconnected from the server. Dont see how that can be manipulated.

Goodpoint murdr never thoguht of that.
People going on extended AFK's now hurt their country.
This may have an added benefit.
People who leave their systems on and go AFK because a reset is near and want perks, may now find that one doesn't happen because the ENV limit has hit their country badly. That can't be a bad thing?

Had already considered the inactive disconect if not active.

Had planned on implementing it, if it becomes a real problem.

I think it's working well and I like it. Enjoy flying some planes I probably wouldn't have selected before and gameplay seems much more balanced to me.
