lep... I disagree.. I think the Chog has been stigmatized. Why hoard points? boo koo of em and if I take a Chog I just stay the same or gain a few more. It is about neutral for gain loss and.... it really isn't much of a plane. It hardly needs to be perked at all. Everyone could afford it... Why don't they? It has such a slim advantage if any over non perked rides and.... it is stigmatized. It may not be targeted because it hasn't got the icon but it is stigmatized none the less. Give it a CHog icon and it will be used even less.
it really boils down to the fact that the perk system keeps out (in varying degrees) planes that should never be in the arena in the first place or, at least not in the hands of the most capable pilots.
If the premis is..... "we need to have a way to get late/uber planes into the arena without unbalancing the gameplay" then.... The perk system works by.... failing to work... It has so far failed to get perk planes in the arena but it hasn't unbalanced the arena as a whole... The people who want to fly perk planes are starting a multitude of threads trying to get them into players hands more easily which will in turn destroy gameplay.
you can have a lot of perk rides in the arena or you can have good gameplay... you can't have both. For most of us... the less perk rides we encounter in the arena the better.
