Shade out planes unavailable due to ENY

[atlau]

Can there be an option to shade out planes that are unavailable to ENYA? It's annoying and a waste of time to have to get the popup message saying certain rides are unavailable and then go back aND make another selection while also ensuring it has the right value.

What about adding a real-time ENY display to the clipboard, while in the hanger?

That would also rock.

Fantastic idea.

Many players would probably love an ENY readout in the hanger to assist with quicker choices. And then there would be the rub salt into the gaping wound crowd who would start endless posts assaulting Hitech over rubbing their faces in ENY.

What difference would it make?  It's there regardless of whether it's displayed or not.  I just find it a moderate pain in the backside to choose something and be told after the fact it's unavailable.  Especially when I'm trying to get back to a fight fast.

There is a whole field of psychology that studies why people are able to live with inconveniences as long as those are not rubbed full time in their faces, and the many coping mechanisms to do that. Right clicking on the map gets you to country status and ENY states which 99% of the community knows about.

From your perspective finding out at the moment the ride you want is not available is unacceptable. Still you know where to check the ENY state. That is a coping mechanism in itself by ignoring it until too late. For the group I targeted who would be in the forums driving Hitech nutz, having an ENY meter in the hanger gives them no way to cope by being oblivious. So the display of it would need a toggle. The toggle would create a premeditated situation of acknowledging ENY just like right clicking and checking country status.

I would venture there are more players who cope by ignoring ENY than want to be reminded of it full time.

It's just a matter of expediency.  I click on what I want and try to launch banking on it being available.  Yes, every time I up I could go into country status.  The question is, why not have the information right at hand with a simple go/no go signal so we'd know instantly?

I have my doubts even those with the most rustled of jimmies over ENY would have much of a change of behavior if the number was displayed or planes that were unavailable were greyed out.  It's the effect of ENY they don't like, not being able to see it.

I think there's a way to check the ENY. Right click on the map then select country status and you can see what the current eny is.

There's no reason why ENY could not be live-updated, which would not infringe on anyone's game play.
It would be available to everyone across the board.

Some people have nothing better to do than to try and hinder peoples ideas.

That's why I said a toggle.

Don't discount their unhappy feelings just because this is a game and it should be expedient. They are paying $14.95 to be oblivious as their only middle finger to ENY. Once ENY sticks it's middle finger up their whatz-its every time they look for a ride. Some of them will say good by. Unhappy people will tolerate a lot until they find that thing that helps them avoid responsibility for not admitting they wanted to quit over something as silly as ENY. Why push them over the edge when they had a coping mechanism to stay in the game?

People make the mistake of seeing only one side to something this silly because, it's silly, right... Since they are willing to tolerate ENY and it is silly from a mature perspective to get upset over it, ergo, those other guys should be able to suck it up. So an attitude this pragmatic coupled with an ENY sign in the hanger, and your silly has meant more to someone else than it does to you.

Competitive games on the surface are all fun and a great community of people. And competiveness pushes buttons that some community members are unaware they have gotten very serious about aspects of a kiddy game. And then you give them the sign they need to stop paying their $14.95 when it was never necessary.

Have you ever considered this forum is a way for Hitech to gauge silly things like this?

My eyes hurt reading your wall of text.

Regardless, this is a good wish.
