Thoughts players? I know I want to keep FC's in the CT from now on.

Donno, I tried to ram Oldman last night (we were both allied) but that slippery character got away from me so I'll have to reserve judgment for now.

I havent really seen that its a problem for anyone when I'm online. The only time I heard anyone gripe about it, they were more griping at themselves just because they forgot it was on. I say leave it on until we get a good reason to turn it off. It will add just one more level of difference between the CT and the MA, and maybe help draw some extra players. I've also noticed numbers have been really good so far every night this week. Dont know if it is the map or the novelty of the FC's, but lets see where it goes!

I vote to leave it on, I haven't seen or had any issues with it whatsoever. I kind of had the same problem as grits though, I kept trying to ram --err-- push storch and he just kept dodging.

So far so good. I think it suits the CT to have it on.

I say leave it alone and turn off killshooter. The only time killshooter off is a hinderance is when you don't communicate with the other guys in the area.

The only problem I see with it is on the spawn points. I was killed twice while upping because somebody spawned on the same spot as I did.
Then again even when I get airborne most of my flights end with me getting killed.

remove the spawn/kill problem on the runways. I'm tired of getting mashed on the runway.

Yeah, I thought I remembered there being an option to enable friendly collisions only above a certain altitude.

Edited for spelling

I understood it to be on or off. Fork????

Simple to get around the problem of getting "squashed" on the runway.

Simply call the tower for Clearance.

Before you get on a runway, simply type on the COUNTRY CH (Green) your field and the runway your leaving from.

EXAMPLE: Jester: A11, NE

Others leaving from the field will give you a courtesy of 10 seconds or so to get your engine started and taxi off the spawn point.
If we can get everyone into the habbit of doing it it shouldn't be much of a problem. Even put it on the MOTD.
