Landing message for Bombers
« on: July 24, 2006, 12:59:38 PM »
When you are in a fighter and you get at least 2 kills, your name will be in lights for all to see.

Bombers should also see their name in lights, but not for killing airplanes.  It should say x amount of objects destroyed.

I know this isn't a perfect idea, or maybe even the first time it's been posted.  It's at least something better than the current method we have.

I got this idea from blukitty from the general discussion forum.

Sounds like an idea, but I'd also extend it to include ANY mission scored as attack or bomber (Jabbos included).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

You spend 2 hours in a mission and you get 5 assists, but you survive and make it back, having bombed the crap out of 5 strat objects --- I think that's worth some "name in lights" time!!!

Interesting, as I'd take all the 'name in lights" messages and get rid of em.  Can you imagine how the gameplay would change if it wasn't the land of 'attaboys"? :)

Almost anything would be an improvement at this point. Two years and counting for me, and there's still just the AR234 to spend my 6K perk collection on.
