Up perked planes with high eny cap
« on: January 29, 2010, 12:56:42 AM »
Just a thought but when they eny cap gets really high and you can only up planes with 20 or greater eny value, how about the ability to still up planes with a perk value but with an extra fee?

Say the eny is at 23, so you can't up any 20 or less eny planes. An F4U-4 costs 60 perks to up but you can't take it because it has an eny value of 5 and eny cap is at 23. You just pay an extra fee (let's just say 100 perks) and you can now take the F4U-4 out for a spin. You still get all your perks back if you land, and if you die you not only loose the 60 perks for the plane, but an extra 100 to up it with eny in effect.

or maybe every plane over the limit gains a perk cost? I hate it when the ENY limit is +20 and i cant take my 109K4 out, I might pay a couple a perkies for the K4 if the G2/6 isnt what I want at the moment.

I think both ideas negate the whole concept of ENY...limiting access to the better/best planes when the balance is out of whack.

Until perks are reset every month, no cost will matter. Some of us have more than 40k perk points and have nothing to do with them. Assigning an extra 100 or 200 perks will make no difference...

Have fun in a non-perk, high ENY plane.  It's a game, try something different every now and then...

Looks like this got shot down in flames pretty bad. Oh well, it was just a thought that occured to me  :)

I'll just stick to my trusty Spitfire Mk I  :D

It's a good thought. :aok  But it would play against the ENY system.

I'd up in a 109-E or an A6M2, personally. :D

I like the idea of resetting perks, plus imagine the chaos on the last day. I would log on just to watch.

There's begining to be a number of 109F pilots these days across the 3 countries who are single handedly making the complaints about ENY a moot point.

Yeah exactly... The team that can't fly the low ENY planes gets owned constantly, no matter how many players they have.
