Ok, so we allready have an island in the middle that could, and was maybe intended to be, "furball island"... trouble is, the fields are capturable and resorces killable. whenever I log on they are all red or all green or shortly to be so. The anal, Amish, strat weenies have devestated any fields in the rest of the map that could be of any use to the furball set and.... furballers are logging.

I propose that we make those fields uncapturable and further, that no bombers be allowed to take off from em... Island fields would not affect the outcome of the war...this would provide CHOICE. the furballers would be no threat to the developing (cough) war or perk point gathering... Only fighter "perk" points could be gotten at the island and no idiotic perk planes could take off from em.

So really, what would it hurt?

Yes.

Also disable the Porkwinds from spawning anywhere on Furball Island. If you want to have panzer battles out in that valley, go for it! But no ZSU-23/4's.

It could be named "Laz's fantasy island". Of course, you'd have to greet everyone as they arrived wearing your white suite and having a sidekick standing at your side. It could even be made into a television show.

I actually think the odds of getting the television show are a tad bit better than getting a fantasy island in the MA.

I agree with this idea.

In fact, to further the furballer island, place the fields closer than typical than other AH fields--lets say 10-15 miles apart. And make their short-range acks un-destroyable to prevent vulching, but disable the 88's there.

This "fightertown" system has worked well in AirWarrior without disrupting the overall gameplay of the arena; I can see no reason for it NOT to work equally well in AH.

And no, I am not usually a furballer. It's just a good idea.

Sounds like a nice place to visit in a Tempest or Me262

Just go to the TA or set it up in H2H Laz. If so many are interested in your furball, they will come to where you are.

If you find yourself flying alone then you might realize that "furball only" is useless and has no point.

LOL.. hear a lot of fear but no real reasons not to have it.. It would have no impact at all on the strat guys or the perk jerks.

I think it would be a lot of fun for a lot of people and add some choice back to the arena.
So what's the problem with it? it will have no affect whether people use it or not. unless you are afraid that people might use it too much??? there's that "f" word again that the Amish hate so much.

Funked...yep your right

jekl... sure, perk jerks would be welcome but I doubt they would be all that happy flying several sectors simply to put their hard "earned" perkie mobile in harms way in a crowd. wouldn't they be better off continueing to look for loners or hiding from each other?

oh... couple things. TA or seperate arena won't work. It won't work any better for a furball than it would work setting up a seperate "historical" arena axis vs alleid RPS etc... people go to the numbers. forget a seperate arena. H2H is work to set up and limited. NO.... the island is a way to add choice, variety and maybe attract new players...let's face it... the old ones are gettin a little stale.

JAB... how did that fightertown thing work? Was it as big a threat to the strat weenies as they fear or was it just a fun place to blow off steam?

What happened to the "change is good" and "give it a chance" set?? LOL friggin hypocrites.

Furball island would be like Temptation Island to some. They would not resist trying to use thier ride amongst furballers. Some that is.

I'm all for it a small area dedicated to fighters only.

Its called Training Arena in the middle island Laz. Free for all and a boatload of ammo for the furballers to spray.

Have fun.
