Reading Ish's tread, and such, reading other threads and such got me thinking.
Now?
and Based on WB as an example.
No one flies the HA in WB, certainly not enough folks to warrant keeping a seperate server up and running 24/7. I would fly the HA but whenever I log in, no one is there.
One of the Big Gripes is all the squad/pilots/whatever paying $2.00 and hour to have a squad meeting in the tower.
NOW I think, how would I fix this.
Hitech.
A chat applet.
Give each country a secure open chat channel, that you can log into prior to flying.
Further, as the Player and Squadron Base Builds, allow for the Creation of Secure Squadron CHAT rooms.
Example.
I'm a Rook and I feel like taking a buff up. I check in the Rook Chat Room before taking off and see if anyone else wants to go on a buff raid. We set up our weapons load, we decide how much fuel, we get gunner volunteers, Etc. Then we log to the Game/Sim and setup our Aircraft. WHen we are ready to roll, we get on the radio and announce as much.
Have a AH Chat Room.
Rook Chat Room
Knigits Chat Room
and a Bishops, well you get the idea.
Squads could hold meeting in their squad chat room prior to launching for their mission.
Rook Squadrons could Challenge Bishop or Knight squadrons to meet in the closer to realism arena.
You could have Squadron UBBs and allow them to post announcements, etc.
Of course I am willing to wait.
