Perk Points usage in the CT

[Mister Fork]

After much debate, the CT staff are going to be resetting perk points on a weekly basis. The reason for this is three-fold.

a) To address issues of individual aircraft overuse.
b) Assignment small perk point values to aircraft that normally would unbalance the arena.
c) Allow more flexible setups that gives a broader aircraft/vehicle scope in the arena.

This is to address this weeks map.  I will post the details later when my CT setup is complete.

Please feel free to express your concerns/opinions about this issue.

Go for it.  We don't use them for anything, anyway.

I'm concerned that at least in the early part of the week, the better sticks are going to be the ones that can afford the perk planes, and they aren't the ones that really need 'em.

It might be more acurate to say that perks will be reset when it is approparate to do so.

Bah this is America competition is rewarded.. I say perk em' all.. and the least good plane.. the kate or 202.. oh they can be free

Perk the bullets.. perk the bombs perk em' all!

Limited 4 lives per hour.. this worked out good a few setups ago.. adds tention. Slows down the bombers.

Friendly collisions turned on... heh.... adds realism.. you need to anounce what field and what runway you want...

Strat resupply turned on.. takes field same time to re-supply.. 30 minutes.. that's how long it takes the trucks and trains to deliever. It takes them 3 loads to resupply a base.. Besides, it's fun to shoot at the trucks and trains etc..

But that's my opinion I could be wrong

 That would be cool. How about a night or two with the 4 lives per hour limit and icons turned off?

I agree.
The best, and most fair way to limit plane type usage is to limit the fields that they are available from.

perks are good, they just need to be higher

But how many 'good sticks' are there so they may rack up huge scores and would be able to ride perk planes all through out the week?

 I don't think there's a problem with this new policy. Good sticks are always few and rare.. and I guess seeing two or three hotshots boasting around in the latest planes, won't do much harm to the numerous more average(except envoke envy! ) fliers.  

 Perks are continuously reset, and people have only 1 week to collect scores.. and perk planes in 2~4 point range... I think this is a welcome change.

Agree with Slash.  (Perks + limited lives) - Icons = a great time

you can do that for *yourself* without having it have to be shoved down other's throats.

Darn...with the limited time I can fly it will be rare that I can afford any perk rides.

Shame too, I had several hundred saved up which took me a good six months. Wish I could sell em.

I'm not sure if you are asking or TELLING us but if you are asking I say keep your hands off my perkies.

I have not seen a huge imbalance with uber perk planes when I have been on.

I just read your original post.

Who did you debate with?

We often play with our self's.
