Squad Perk Pool
« on: November 09, 2007, 09:30:04 AM »
What does HTC think of allowing squads to form up a Perk Pool for the purpose of running squad missions?  Many players have perks falling out of the their bomb bay doors and little to use them on.  A squad Perk Pool would allow squads to run missions featuring planes that in some cases some members and many players cant afford on their own.  This is especially true for new players or squad members who change their handle to join the Squad.


What say you HTC?

If, however, your wish would be fulfilled, I'd probably fly AH2 for free. I would just sell 2 or 3 slots in my squad for a few bucks, with a guaranteed 500 fighter perks per month each :)

if they added such feature ( giving someone your perks) i wonder how long it would take before auctions of per points on ebay took place. I really wonder what the perkpoints market price would be...

Only minutes longer than it would take for the first lawsuit to be filed when the 160 perk ME262 was lost due to disco and the pilot had just 'won' his bank of 170 perk points for $50 Buy It NOW.

I like the idea of it, I like to waste perks myself and keep my perks low I know a lot of my squaddies that have a lot of perks that would get rid of them if they had to.

This would be far too generous to me, and horribly unfair to the rest of my squad! :lol

What does HTC have to say.

When my CO AApache had talked with Skuzzy he had expressing interest in looking into the matter more.  Hence why I posted this topic again.
