First off, we need the MA sides sorted. If we studied the BBs for a moment, which many of us do in some manner, we have quite a good number of opinionists. Opinionists who usually side with the same rough groups each time theres a disscussion.
we should hold 10 monumental threads, about simple miniscule gameplay changes, and after thus mighty threads, it should be quite obvious what, and how many, new teams should be delagated. or maybe we have allready left the evidence to delegate....
after these teams have been deduced from current subscribers, any newbie MUST have a two week free trial, where they have the TA as a newly setup arena being the only available option.
In said arena, AI orientated challenges must be acomplished with any help from trainers possible.
when they have passed this training* they may are able to subsrcibe to the game.
Imagine their anticipation. or boredom. or frustration.
if boredom then then they maybe shouldnt play anyway.
if frustration then they can always try again with a new pilot name.
if anticipation....
"You are being trained for war rookie. you cannot be sent into the field with no experience, if you find these challenges too hard you will not survive the real fight!"
they wait all week while they battlle through the training and maybe at the end they pass. if not, they have another week to shape up, or that CPID is gone baby! they must begin a new life.
*The training would be various tasks like fighters on looped paterns(but not just orbiting a base, loops an' all that). they must be destroyed without HO, ram, etc.
A bomber to shoot down with no personal damage, etc.
landings, Sea deck manouvers, rockets, bombs, bombers, tanks, TnB, BnZ, merges, snapshots,acmSA, leading,engines, ropes revs, fuel, the lot.
any way, i rant on, and on....
and i think my baked potatoes are burning.....
*snif*
hmmmm....
wonder if something like this would be involved in the Tour of Duty. it could change alot of things about the way the MA evolves.
it maybe almost feels like the MA is being left to ruin, not by HT, but by us, in expectation of ToD.
hmm...
*snif*
mmmmmm baked potatoe and cheesey beans...
