I have seen many posts of pilots wanting to be able to jump into a furball quickly and sometimes you can find that in the Main Arena and sometimes not. I wouldn’t want a steady diet of that but when I can only fly for a few minutes sometimes it would be nice to know I could find a furball opponent quickly.
I’m not sure, technically, how this could be done but we have some brilliant people out there and I’m sure they could do it. Why don’t we tuck away 2 opposing airbases in a remote section of every Combat Theater map with the purpose of making them a “furballing” area. Make each field untakeable and give them planty of ack to avoid vulching and give a gang-banged pilot a place to hide temporarily. Between the fields would be furball central as anyone who wants to fly and fight could meet. Players could change countries easily to keep the sides even.
Many of you will recognize this as sounding like Fighter Town from AW and it does because that’s the only experience I have of this type of arena. There are many here (such as the OL squadron) who know more about how this should be laid out than I do and could give better insight. It would also make more use of the little-used Combat Theater and not interfere with their campaigns.
What do you think?
