Poll for players about future formats for FSO Hour 2

[Devil 505]

How would you describe what you want most out of FSO's in Hour 2?


A: Let me fly what I want, however much I want.

B: Let me fly what I want, but I like the challenge of limited lives. 

C: I enjoy the structure of a planned mission, so I want a repeat of the Hour 1 assignments with a new target.

D: FSO should only be one life. Period.

E: I don't care, I'll fly any format. Just give me something.

F: I don't care. Hour 2 is too late and I'm off to bed.

F for me.

I haven’t been able to even do hour one though so maybe don’t count me lol.

One thing I always loved about FSO back in the day was the 1 life and done realism to it. This however was back when numbers were much much different. With fewer numbers I find it much more enjoyable to fly and die over a shared target with the enemy in hour 2. Keeps the action going and keeps people engaged longer in my opinion.

My vote is A.

1 life was always good for flying "carefully" in FSO, but I've come to appreciate the second hour second target format more these days, so I vote C

[Nefarious]

I'm somewhere between A and C.

How about structure and planned missions PLUS however much I want? lol.

[Bopgun]

C,

I need my rigid routine

But in all seriousness I like the clear cut game plans FSO tends to offer

[SNO]

A then C for me.

[jeffn]

I like C

E

After re-reading option C, I think that is pretty much what we having going now, so my vote is a combination of A and C as well.

The idea behind option C is that Hour 2 would have a complete reset. Every player would have a new life in their assigned Hour 1 plane, the only difference is that the targets would be different.

It was an idea I was kicking around for Budapest instead of the GV battle. I'd like to try it in the future.

I do see difference in the way players and I fly when i only have one life (or in "C's" case, 2nd life).

The absolute best, memorable fights in have had in AH are in FSO where i do not want my night to end and i know the pilot I am fighting does not either. Win or loose, those white knuckle battles from alt to the deck are the best!

My pref. is "C", but will participate in what ever

[SIK1]

I try to keep the first hour airframe for as long as I can. Once I lose it then it's balls out hair on fire.

I like having a plane, and mission assigned to me, and trying to accomplish that mission.

I feel that the second hour seems to devolve into a furball, for the most part.

Not much into GVing, but as long as I can put something competitive into the air I'll fly.

As a CiC I don't want to, nor do I normally write orders for the second hour.

I guess a little bit of B, C, and E.

Sure that clears it up for you. 

 

[Frodo]

C and D

I vote for C, but E works for me also.
