Not to sound like a fun squasher,but did you see how many voted to see their scores ASAP after each Scenario? Some are VERY into their scores and these types just might not be in a hurry to lay it on the line when there is a nice shiny digital medal in it for them. Nice effort,but it can and just may well be a game changer no matter how many say otherwise.

actually if you think this you havnt flown a SEC. We have all sorts of persons in there. Like me, i would not hesitate to help other only because an "award". I will never get one for my flying skills. But there are others that might think this is something to fly for.
And since it is a free for all event, we want every sort of personality in there.

I can see where it could have a negative effect.

If you push realism too far in a game what happens is long long flights of boredom. Then seconds of shear excitement. Followed by long long flights of boredom.

In real life many medals were handed out posthumously. One courageous individual took it on his own to save one other or many.

Of course if your just medaling survivors your not following along with real life but you are pushing folks to not get in too deep. Folks may spend more time observing a fight to see if they have a better chance of surviving rather than getting in and possibly saving one of their own.


I hear yall have done a great job with this setup. Hope it goes the way your planing and does not backfire.

hi,

i spend a lot thoughts on that issue, but i analysed all SEC we flown right now. There are many good Sticks who  will fullfilled the requiements. The idea is, to play a little different instead of the normal MA play. its a one life Events (one per hour, so you get 2 Lives) And the Logs are allways great to read, but this is a tool ,to go a bet more into details for the Gents who will attend all times. Those who are all frames have a chance being awarded. looking at the Death gives a bit more psycho
pressure. It makes it more intense too

we will see, the future and the pilots of the SEC will tell if they like it
