And instead of the "landing messages" starting at 2, maybe make it 4 or 5. This would probably promote more team work and would make players shoot for a higher goal. Instead of getting two kills, then running back home for a quick land and up another.
True. For about 1/4 of the players. I remeber when i started back in october last year, i really had to struggle to get at least two kills and land them. Dweebish or not, this keeps you going. Its something to work for and an accomplishment to be proud of. Heck, the first time i landed successfully my squad threw a party for me. Pathetic? Maybe, but the learning curve in AH is already frustrating enough so 'celebrating' baby steps makes you feel like you are getting somewhere.
As my abilities got at least slightly better, of course two kills now dont mean that much to me, but they did then. By having to get 3 or 4 to recieve a system message, it makes it nearly impossible for new players and they just might end up frustrated and stopping to try.
As for shorter messages: Im all for it. Would be nice to see more of the Squadron names.
