resets and perk planes =\

[CavemanJ]

Something needs to be done to credit lost points because of a reset.  Like ditching/captured won't cost you your points after a reset, but bailing out (cause ya got shot up) or being shot down will still cost you your points.

I launched out of A5 in a tempest on an attack run to A11.  Made my run, picked up 5 kills, headed back toward to 5 to land'em.  Knights reset the bishops and A5 was suddenly a bishop base.  Mightly long flight to A19 (closest rook base).  Even if I hadn't been intercepted by a dork (who lost his tempest for chasing my glider to the deck   ) I couldna made it to base and kept my points.

The whole planes stayin in air for reset makes for some very silly situations (though usually fun ones). Pilots ought to be returned to a default tower with points as though landed successfully if reset occurs. More logical, avoids the "hey lets get city while were here" which you could really intentionally do if you were thinking and saw a reset coming which would be rude and an abuse.

Couldnt agree more.

And Cave, agree that losing your perk due to a reset is pretty sad.  Lost my Tempest last night due to reset while trying to glide back to base... 70 points down the drain   .

bah   thems the breaks i think.If you can see a reset is coming you dont up in a perk plane without loads of fuel surely?

But!   if we make concessions for poor judgement how about a button that reverses me out of danger when i fly like a dumb drunk??     heheh

I launched with 100% fuel.  Was about 10-12 miles ESE of 1 when the tanks ran dry.  There's a real slim chance I could've made 19 if I hadna been intercepted, but I doubt it.
