Ripsnort, I'd like to say a small thing about the milkrunning stuff...
I'm in the No9 Squadron under Revvin. I only still fly during the Squadron meetings, as Revvin pointed out most of us do. I simply take off to have a good flight. We fly together, have fun flying the great formations that we fly (Hell its bragging but it's true), get a kick out of fending off fighters and seeing our escorts save the day and then we whack the HQ. Lights out. Then we turn around and give another bellybutton whooping while we return to base. We land and log off, see ya next week.
My point? We couldnt care less about the milkrunning people do afterwards. I wouldnt care if the server exploded after we logged, as long as it's back up the next week. So there is no circle that starts and ends with milkrunning.
I'm not sure if Revvin agrees with me on not caring what happens after we land, as he might see things in a broader perspective than I do. Personally I dont give a jack about the war between chess pieces that has been won 12.769 times so far, and that will continue to reset untill the end of days.
Just to point you out that not all the buffers buff to encourage milkrunning. And I think a number of squaddies agree with me. They probably didnt agree when they first started with AH, but we're all a bit fed up with the whole strat system, or lack of it.
