Are perks really that big a deal?

I have never paid attention to them in the 20 years Ive played this game

Can I sell the over 23,000 fighter perks I have?

There you go ... like some kind of S&H green stamps - they can be cashed in for free months of play!

Oh man, I wish! That would be nice. Yeah, they’re not used all the time, but I think they’re still important. Perhaps some more uses could be created for perks so they’re more relevant in game. Honestly, I haven’t thought about them either.

Yes, it is almost as if other people may have a different desire than you.

I have 65000+ and yes some folks use them almost as fast as they can get them. They want to fly the latest and greatest...... at least till boredom takes hold. Then they fly something older and end up with a lot of perks. LOL

The perk exchange

100,000 perks for 24 hour ENY immunity

250,000 perks for 72 hour ENY immunity

500,000 perks for a trip to the virtual bordello

1,000,000 perks for an autographed picture of HT smoking a cigar and holding a glass of scotch

The bordello one made me think of Read Dead Redemption 2. I am working the Bounty Hunter role. I walked into a hotel in Valentine. I was there to capture a bounty. I walked into the wrong room and a gal was on top of this guy..... ummm anyway I quickly shut the door and went about my business. I realized why the game has the rating.

No perks required.

You are simply duplicating the achievement system already in place.

Which achievement earns a trip to the bordello?

...Asking for a friend.

Actually Rocco's idea is a bit interesting.  Having country-based goals reward perks.  Details get murky but like he said, things like if you're a nit and your people level their city to a certain level, everybody gets perks.  If your side takes some number of bases, everybody gets perks.  *Might* encourage teamwork.  Might create completely new forms of dweebery.

Fighter, bomber or vehicle? Split it among the three? 3/3/3?

Whatever is reasonable. Not really worth hashing out what I'd do.  Maybe you get to choose. You get 9 to allocate however you like.

I'm so glad that when we agree to something hitech always does the code change.  sarcasm
