Can we please have a new arena.  No strat, no bomb damage, and nothing but fighters??  Call it the "Aces Arena" or "Furballer's Arena" or "Fluffer need not apply Arena".   Please?  It worked pretty good in AW and put an end to this kinda garbage:

Thats a good idea.  It would be an 'instant action' arena of sorts.  3 bases on one island, similar to NDisles.  Set it up to where none of the bases could be captured.  Also, allow GVs to fight there.  A good GV fight is hard to come by now.

this was in AW too, the so called Fighter Town or Furball Atoll.

when introduced there were people for it and against it.  Because of the location, some claimed it interfered their landgrabbing experience.

Right you are Dutch, however I was referring to the actual Fightertown "arena" that was developed for AW.  There was no landgrabbing, very limited number of bases however they did allow porking of the fields, but If I remember correctly, the damage was limited to maybe 5(?) minutes.  It had fairly good attendance too.

Anyhoo.. point being an Arena as such would make the pro/con Strato vs Quaker whine pointless.  The team player/Strato fluffer's have thier home in the MA.  The Quaker's "would" have a similar home.  You would think the Combat Theater would have been sufficient, however I believe the limited planeset of the CT makes it a less than desireable location "for the masses".  JMHO but I used to really like the concept.  I was never one to be found in Fightertown too often, but when I was in the mood for a quick furball... I didn't have far to look.

Tumor is just a whiner :)

Oh, but I do believe that a redesign of the DA would work

Aub wears his mom's bra as a flight cap.

...ya, a DA redesign is about all it would take.  1 map, 3-12 fields in equally distant, Kansas style terrain, no (or limited) strat damage to fields, no bombers.

Sure, why not.. the DA is even emptier than the CT.

Use it for something.

Tumor, yes I agree.  But I would rather see a Furball Atoll somewhere on the map rather than a separate Fighter Town Arena.  My opinion, of course.

I have shared my opinion on maps and arena settings on this thread: Suffering from the BigPac Burnout Syndrome .  I stopped short of lobbying for a Fighter Town settings or a Furball Atoll.  If you have any opinion on this, kindly let me know.

To bring this idea on Fighter Town and some of my concerns together, I might as well design a map like the AW Classic maps.  Memories are coming back to me when I started online sims and how it was like back then...  Of course, this would mean a different objective in the arena.

Now then, to make your idea come alive, I would suggest to put together a simple map for this purpose.  Of course, it almost seems like the DA map or the DA itself will suffice.

hmmm... more thoughts coming... more to follow...

Can we call it the Laz theater of operations?

heheh no seriousy I'll make you a Air Warrior classic map if you want... will even include the pointy pecks you guys like so much.

When I started AW I thought the relaxed arena meant the people were more mellow..
