I don't care if I lose them. I just want to give the enemy some kind of motivation to kill me rather than run away!
Yes in Fighter Ace, besides being able to see who you are fighting(player names enabled) vs having to go to film or asking on 200 "HEY YOU 47 AT 10, 2, 4 FIGHT ME OUT OR I'LL CHECK MY FILM AND FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE ANYWAY. Sorry lol. What was I saying? Ah yes aces in fighter ace,
Like Bruv explained, 5 consecutive kills = 1 *, so if you had a 25 kill streak you would see your name as "Latrobe *****" more importantly enemies could see your name as that as well. After ***** it would turn into a number, so 30 killstreak was "Latrobe 6*"
With names enabled, and a full map radar with dots and alt pointers, it wasn't hard to find who you were looking for, If you were holding a lot of kills, people were out to hunt you down.
Think of it instead of landing kills and getting your name in lights for 2 seconds, it's flying around with your name in lights constantly, definitely an epeen booster, and more than enough motive for people to come kill you. Typical chat conversation went sort of like:
Player 1: holy crap Player 2 nice streak/rack
Player 2: thanks
Player 3: How many?
Player 1: 12! (60 kills on a row)
Player 4: I'm coming for them.
Player 5: me too!
Player 6: I'm climbing out, those stars are gonna be gone soon!
