Perk Points.
« on: April 12, 2003, 07:56:50 PM »
Sometimes I have them and sometimes I don't....???  Is there any CT policy on PP's?   Can they just be arbitrarily  taken away by who ever runs the setup?    
   If PP's can't be carried over then what's the point?   Who has enough time to fly in one setup to make them mean anything.  I know I don't....

PP's are pointless, some pun intended:)

   They are used in the CT cheifly to act as limiters in any given set up, wher they are in fact used. Most set up's have no perk planes at all and theirfore perks are pointless since all planes are Zero point's to fly. In other set up's we reset the perks to Zero and use low perk values to try and limit certain plane types use, it is better to reset the perks since this levals the playing field for this type of set up.

  Perks should not be viewed in the same light that they are in the MA.

perks are meaningless man, just as brady says.  I think it keeps the game a little less gamey (sniff... sniff...  peeeuuuuu who left the door to the ma open?).

Hiya Concho.  I'm good but the 21 mo. old twin boys are cutting in to my stick time...  Then there's that darn old sleep or fly debate.

Hope you and yours are doing great.

:D

when I was younger I always thought I could sleep when I was dead.

Man did I get tired.  

Glad your doing well.

Corwin,

  I can relate I got 5yr old twins 1 of each the older they get the more time they take,but worth it.Unfortunatly I pick fly over sleep there have been time altough rare that I dozed off at the stick only to be awakened by falling out of my chair or my wife screaming at me to log off and come to bed,maybe one of these days I will be able to kick the addiction but no time soon it looks like.:)

Hehehe glad to know we are all chosing AH over sleep.  Two nights ago after the kids were down I logged in and was having a really great time when, "It's 11:15 and you need to go to bed" was "suggested" to me by my wife.  Had she stopped there, I might have seen the wisdom of her "suggestion" and done just that.  She then added, "This is your last turn!" and left the room when I burst out laughing.  

Girls are silly.  Last turn indeed!

:D
