in the previous version of the thread, I liked the idea of a person with a lot of perks being able to post a mission and pay for everyone's perk plane.. IE : I'll pay 1000 perks for 6 guys to go up in 262's with me.... as long as I lose the perks as soon as mission launches, and the other guys have no way to keep the perks even if they land. the points would have to be consumed, or all kinds of shenanigans could happen.
Perk Sponsored Missions are by far the best Idea I have seen on this subject.
Sponsoring, not transferring; we don't want a virtual economy here.
Now that is a great idea! and a good use of the huge pile of perks some vets have accumulated. The greatest thing about it is that it is appealing for new players in particular. All that is needed is to add in the mission planner a tick box that determines who pays the perks for perk planes in the mission - the planner or the player who joined.
I must emphasize the point of losing the perks even if the mission planes land. Veteran players desperately need a perk sink otherwise we will see a lot of 262 swarm missions, and because they are likely to land, such missions can be sustained for many sorties. The occasional 262/163/arado/MossXVI/B29 swarm can be hilarious, but it must cost a lot even for a veteran so we do not see them too often. In addition, since the points are already lost, new players can fly the planes without pressure.
Someone should post it on the wish forum.
