Actually that is the fly in the ointment on this wish. As it is now, if you disable "name in lights" in the arena setup, it also disables "you shot down ----"/"---- shot you down"
Alternate idea: Seperate DA into Furball, and Dueling, 1 Arena for Furballs, with 3rd Person, Landing, Stats, etc. And a Dueling Arena, where its MA rules, Air Starts, and no fields.
Ciaphas, the point is, the "kills message standard" has led you to think that these guys are good sticks. By and large they aren't. In fact, they're amongst the absolute worst in this game. Taking off at furball arena, climbing up to ensure you're always higher, taking the fastest plane with the best guns possible, attacking preoccupied enemies, and running whenever one's on your six, WILL MAKE YOU A TERRIBLE PILOT.Yet for whatever reason, the landed-kills becomes the standard. People like you think such players are "good." You're probably as eager as anyone, and have asked them how to do it. So eventually, you learn from them how to do it. Now you can do the same things they do. Now you can climb higher, take a faster plane with the best guns, attack preoccupied enemies, and "egress" when the situation gets "bad." But now you're also a terrible pilot because you have mistakenly associated a certain style with "skill."A few months later a new guy shows up and starts emulating you. The cycle continues. Soon enough, there are arenas full of people just like the first pilot you thought was "good." It snowballs. The gameplay gets worse and worse.
Try to look at it this way, you have some really good sticks in the DA
