Ever wondered why good wishes never end up in the game over all these years? Very few good wishes are good for everyone in the game. And the ones who they are good for will always believe the wish is good for everyone else in the game.

You are putting my wall of text in perspective to the arcane art of herding cats or, keeping people from leaving the game over silliness when they didn't have to.

Well, how many people have left the game over frustration because they've clicked on a plane and been told they couldn't launch it because of ENY?  Seems to me that number would be significantly higher than those who would leave over having access to information.

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

I would hardly classify having planes marked as "unavailable" due to ENY (like planes and GVs are when the corresponding hangers are down) as a "silly wish".  In fact, one could say it's a rather important "quality of life" feature that would be more beneficial to the player base than any negatives you can try and squeeze out of it.

This is a good wish. It's not the ENY its the annoyance of pop up windows having to be closed and having to read numbers. Just not being able to select an aircraft feels very different from selecting one and being DENIED, and having to close a stupid pop up, and having to read the eny numbers and then picking a plane and eny has changed and getting denied again.

It would also be great that if ENY happens while you are in flight. Upon landing the end flight on the clipboard would turn yellow. Letting you know that if you exit the plane you will loose it. You would then have the option to rearm instead of giving it up and finding out in the tower you don’t have it anymore.

To me the ENY is odd in that affect.. I just landed the plane now I can’t re-up the plane I just landed… Where did it go?

You do know of course that either in the tower or while flying you can right click on the map, hit "country status" and get the current ENY, right?

To me there's too much clicking already.
Look how long it takes to select a skin.  You can't click one, then the next.  Nope. 
You have to click one, then click on the drop down menu to open the skin list again. 
That's a bit redundant, especially if you have 20-30 skins that you want to check out.

This.  Click click click.  ENY should be displayed in the hangar on a chalkboard or something.

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.

Granted, but you will still get the message and can still select the plane.

Any way you can shade it a different color?

Red = disabled at base or due to hangar closure

Yellow = disabled to to ENY

I take it you didnt care for the idea of using perks for ENY disabled planes, and possibly revisiting the perk cost of our current lineup?(spit16, la7, n1k etc..)
