Fair Idea crockert, at least your idea is a new one, and you do seem to understand the concept of of reward vs trying to eliminate something. Your idea does not upset the need to hold down new planes when doing capture.

No, it just means that I wouldn't score as much if I kill you on the runway. Since score doesn't matter to me, I'd still vulch you.

Seems codeable enough, kinda the same lines as a bomb has to fly thru air for X number of seconds (or feet) before it arms. Hmmm...how fast an La get from runway spawn to 30 seconds? (Ok, timed it offline, 250 mph w 25 gas)...a fighting chance to ho one or two guys

Na, it just means they wouldn't get any score for killing you in the first 30 seconds and you wouldn't lose anything if they did kill you the first 30 seconds. This would give both sides more incentive to fight by giving incentive to not vulch (but wont stop vulching) and also giving a little  incentive to up at a vulched base to defend simply because if you die in the first 30 seconds it wont count against you.

Some really good ideas ( localized ENY and others) and some goofy ones.

ZAZEN seems to be a wise man. Great post of older quotes you made and should have been recognized Zazen.

There's actually already code in place for this. It's the code that prevents bomber defensive guns from being able to fire until airborne...So, adapting it to Strafing's idea should not require much in terms of actual programming...

Thanks A8Tool, those posts were all circa 2004. Sadly, I am obviously a complete moron as some "thread stalkers" never tire of pointing out, but I do get lucky sometimes...

If you're really bored or have trouble sleeping, look through a lot of the older threads on serious gameplay mechanic issues. You will see me identify many problems that manifested in the future or as a result of a change implemented by HTC and come up with innovative solutions to gameplay issues that did not even exist at the time but do now as a result of design changes or player dynamics...

If you had heard Doug and Dale speak about vulching/spawn camping, you would realize it has its place in the game and your idea is futile.

In Murdr's defense, I literally just about pooped my pants when I saw HiTech respond in kind. I had to slap myself really hard to make sure I wasn't just having a wet dream. I would have bet $1,000 and given odds this idea was going to have the same ignominious fate similar ideas have had in the past.
