We have this, in the training arena. Unless, maybe there was some indication on their ICON that they were in "Practice Status". Also, if you give them the option to "turn it off", I would not want this to be possible during a flight, only in the tower or O'Club.
Generally I don't like the idea much possibly because it smells like the rules some of our kids now play sports by where there are no winners or losers.
GAWD I HATE THAT!!!!!

Life is'nt given to us as those "lovey-dovey" hippies would have children believe...
For me, i only chose to get help after jumping into the "action" of main arenas. I certainly would have gone through a tutorial if presented to me upon first starting, something in game as opposed to "look at all this help that's available, just go find it!"
I'm torn on the can't be killed and can't kill... Only if the new player would get a message letting them know when they would have a kill - ie they don't need to put all their ammo into a target only to be unsure if that would have been sufficient to down the enemy aircraft.
Sadely, Zoney, we'll need some hand-holding in this regard, IF ONLY, to help retain subscribing players. That two week trial is critical for the rest of us to attempt to secure that new player as a seasoned veteran who, like many veterans here, will contribute and grow the community.
