Use Stocked Hanger to Replace ENY system

[Randy1]

Drop the ENY system and replace with a stocked hanger. 

A stocked hanger would consist of the arena based hanger contents as we now know it but with limited numbers of each plane, GV or boat.  If you don't land the plane, GV or boat, you lose it.  The stocked hanger would be renewed at the start of each tour.  A two week'er hanger or new paid subscriber would have a limited hanger till the next tour. 

The hanger content would be the most difficult to set so that you don't run off like a P51D fan but if they run through their Ds they have the B and other planes.

The first week and the last week of the tour would be interesting.  This system would allow too the addition of very late war planes but they would be very, very limited.

I for one would absolutely hate this. Why should I not be able to fly a plane because other people (due to lack of skill or malicious intent) crashed them all?

And how would this system in any way combat large numbers squishing small numbers?

So we have people being more frugal with their fanboy rides? No thanks.

Yet another excuse for people to run and try to save their plane -100

Randy,

Is this an idea you honestly and strongly feel "many" would enjoy as a change from the current business model that has been in force for 14 years? Or, you want HiTech to fire it up and see how it plays out against his need to meet a payroll? How do you really think the paying customers will react to it? Suddenly having restrictions on what they have been paying for in good faith?

Even if you don't work through these kinds of questions before posting them. HiTech still has to against having to meet a real world payroll. This floats up there with rolling plane sets, auto side balancing, and even, ENY some times.

Horrible idea.  Maybe the worst I have ever seen.  Did you actually think this through before you posted this?  Holy cow, i hope this was just another attempt to get attention.

Randy, you wanna play this way?  Go ahead.  Only fly each plane until you lose one then move on.

Your hanger resources belong to you.  Are talking like HO?

Keep in mind you might, as an example have  100 P51Ds in your hanger maybe more but you might only get two 262s and five 138s.  Maybe 2 sets of B29s.  Sadly you might only get 10 P47Ms.   All of this is a WAG.  Everyone would get a few tiger tanks and a lot of the more common tanks.   You might get one that might be a stretch like the Grumman Tiger cat F7F.

Your fears of losing your favorite rides are unfounded in this system but there would be limits.

Everyone gets the same opportunity to fly all planes.

Keep in mind this is just a wish for change.  It may not be right one but it might stir the imagination of someone else.

Why does the ENY system need to be fixed Randy?

Ok, so you're talking every player starts out with x number of each plane in their own private hangar. I thought you were talking about a shared pool of planes amongst the whole side.

Still, I don't see how that's better than ENY to limit certain planes. You could have a side launch 100 high-performance planes because those 100 people had them in their hangar - when ENY wouldn't allow any due to arena imbalance.

I dont understand what hangers have to do with the game

I will bet at one time HiTech mused making two forums.

Forum A. - Is This A Good Game Idea for the Wishlist?

Forum B. - Wishlist

I think after 12 years interacting in these forums, he should have gone with both.

Is this to solve a problem or is this something else. I cannot see what problem it would solve so I am trying to understand what it would be for. ENY was to solve a specific problem, it is crude and best suited to large population numbers but it is trying to address something specific. This I can't see what for except maybe to change the nature of game play, making it so that people would stop playing until their hangers were renewed which seems like a bad idea. We need all the players we can get.
