gameplay idea for those who fight..
« on: November 29, 2004, 02:46:00 PM »
Ok... so have three carriers out in the boonies at least a couple of sectors or so away from land or bases and make em indestructable.   They don't travel far and they can't be controlled.

Those who enjoy a good fight could play there and those who enjoy ruining a good fight.... well... tough, go somewhere else.

Too far away for them to effect the gameplay of those who think they are really in WWII and too far away for the uberplane guys to enjoy their "choose the uber plane" advantage.

Granted... there would be limited selection of planes but that would be a good thing in this case since I'm sure most furballers have seen enough uberplanes to last em a thousand sorties or so.

Lots of fun for some without affecting the "immersion" of the reincarnated WWII veterans out there.

1 vs 1 is not a furball last time i checked.  

not a bad idea, im sure somebody will not like it though.

Does sound kind of like a DA thing, but 3 floating islands semi close to each other with a somewhat limited planeset is just like the concept of a "furball island".  The difference between this and the DA would be that this idea would promote many players looking for the giant fight aspect, whereas the DA is 1 vs. 1 most of the time.

Just what this game needs. More hidden condescending I'm better than you fly my way or don't fly at all threads. When will they stop :confused:


Just start your own H2H arena. You and the three that agree with your repetitive posts can play carrier quake furball all day long. No worries about the majority that actually enjoy the MA for what it is. It's a simple answer.

I've always thought that a map based primarily on carrier play would be a lot of fun.

That was 1995?  I'm pretty sure that the Big Pac map with the fighter town island didn't come along until awhile later.  Certainly it wasn't around when I started back in 1996.

And stop making me feel old, you geezer.

Anyone who calls this idea the same as the DA, hasnt spent enough time in the DA.

DA is a controled fight enviorment... For the most part. When people go in there for a fight, they set up merge alts, rules, fuel, planes, ect...

I like this idea of lazs...

You'd need to turn the puffy ack off on these CVs, both player and FE controlled. Also the central area would need to be off limits to normal CVs.

Why would you care if this was implemented ?

It's easy to do and doesn't adversely effect anyone else in the arena.

Think you'd be suprised how many players would jump in there for a casual furball when they felt like it.

Sounds great untill the whines come from the Furball camp about how some High Alt Buff Dweeb sinks a carrier just to "piss in the pot."
