COVERT OPTION
« on: May 18, 2017, 03:23:15 AM »
    An option that would sensor text on sorties landed, i'd rather the op not know what I was flying or how much damage was inflicted.  You don 't need to state the obvious for me,  I know I have an option, ditching,

I sometimes used to pull off the runway if I'd got a lot of kills - especially if one or two players had been repeatedly killed.

An option to not have name in lights wouldn't be bad. +1

I'm not entirely sure I understand what it is that you are asking for here Rod ...

Are you wishing to be able to opt OUT of having you name broadcast to the world if you get more than 1 kill and land it?  (I suspect I'd click that option myself)

FWIW:  My normal solution is to simply keep fighting until I die ... no one gets any notification (except for the telegram back home that says, "Dear Mom your son is dead")

...

Also, What is an "op"?  (Serious question...I see it being used, have no idea what folks are trying to say with it ... pretty sure it isn't the trademarked "Ocean Pacific")

In this context, I assume OP means "other pilot" or "other player".

Thank you Skuzzy!

Here are the options I came up with...

OPeration,
Photo OP,
Other Players,
Other P(naughty word),
Opposing Pilots,
Oppressive Predators (actually I just thought of that one)

but mostly I just realized I had no idea what Sir Rodbuster actually meant:

See my response to Bustr's post ... he simply gave you HIS operative definition.

well seems to me that the "OP" already knows what your flying since you shot him down-whats the big deal if people see what u land kills in[ when u are actually lucky enough to land them] sniker sniker-- I think it's fine like it is

I personally liked the older system when it showed who killed who as it happened.  Kept the trash talk on ch200 limited.  :D
