Add teenage icons, sex icons and hollywood icons.

So if I get this right we're going to have a large, purple, throbbing icon, right?

I think midnight just wants to save time finding easy (cherry-picking) kills, eh?

Make it any easier Steve would probably even come back. Heck it might even get Zazen out of his re-arm pad osty.

I think it would be cool to see a pilot who has a Kill streak over 5 have thier Icon's blink, Or Better yet have their Aircraft name replaced with thier name. So instead of 190 it would have thier handle, in Red.

And make it so, killing a pilot with a High Kill Streak would increase the ENY Value of the Kill.

That's a feature of Fighter Ace (MS flight sim) -- you get a "*" in front of your name when you hit ace. It keeps track of kills in your name. But then in FA I think you see the player's name anyways. It's not a very good idea in practice.

That all depends on how easy you would be to kill, Dipstick. Because I promise you that if you were tough guy enough to turn on the icon, I would hunt you every time you were within reach of rook fields.

This ................ is a brilliant idea !

Can you imagine the worry the "ace pilots" would have in deciding to turn on or off the tough guy icon, All the "legend in their own mind" guys wondering if they would be thought of as scared if they didn't turn it on ..... I would pay for this version to be introduced

Umm, I engage when i'm at a disadvantage, often diving into a pack of 10 or more enemies. Can I have a tough guy icon?

I still like the . jackazz option the most.

Sorry I'm not a "tough guy". I just like to 'fight', usually in furballs. This is where you cherry-pick. I fight for 10 mins get a few kills then you come swooping down at 400+ and get your "hard fought kill" when I'm busy or rtb with damage / no ammo / no fuel.

Oh how my heart breaks for you always being the disadvantaged one. Poor you. Such pain you must endure being the furballer that nobody loves. I guess it's no fun being shot down by another plane that you weren't trying to have a fight with.

I would feel bad for you, but your poor little dilema is the same that every other player has to deal with. I too can only make so many shots on low bandits before I run out of E and get jumped by another bandit that just got to the fight with fuel, ammo and plenty of E. The trick is to know when to get out of the fight before you get in that situation.

Too bad you feel like your the pursecuted one and are the only one that is shot down when they can't control the situation.

Eh, I suppose I'd turn it on so folks could find me more easily. I'm always happy to give away my exact position on Channel 200 if someone asks. If it means people bring the fight to me without my having to do anything more than flip a switch, then all the better.

I can never really figure out why people would want to hunt me though. I die just about every time I go up, so it's not like killing me is some unusual or uncommon event.
