I am not sure what has been simplified by typing .s as opposed to
like we used to do, but anyway....
Instead of tards just popping off salutes to themselves and squadmates, why not tie it to an in game event. Like...
SYSTEM: You have killed Mathman. Send , Y or N?
SYSTEM: You have been killed by Mathman. Send , Y or N?

How would that be implementated though? An input from a joystick (or whatever) could give an incorret command (etc.) if a pop up came up asking for a Y or N? Or if you're still engaged the last thing you want is to give a Y or N?
I think the 'tards' popping off salutes is just people getting used to the feature. Many people I know were unaware of how to do the command and were experimenting. Alternative is that Salute goes on private message.
-
Good idea, but seems inpersonel. It means alot to me when someone gives me an
and also takes the time to spell my name out.
-
Just make it a default auto-option in the damned setup menu.
(checkbox) after a victory
(checkbox) after a defeat
No damned popups while I'm in combat.
No having to take the time to be less impersonal by spelling the chad's name perfectly while you're in the middle of a furball. :D
p.s. And just have it send the to the recipiant. No need to prove to the world you're the perfect gentleman flyer and all. ;)
-
I'm not crazy about this idea either, or to be more clear...your idea sucks Furry, just like you!
I do like the idea of making the be a private msg to the intended recipient, tho. I think that'd be perfect.
Or, if it stays the way it is, could it be fixed so that the message that's presented uses the same case that the person's handle actually uses? IE: "SOB" instead of "sob".
-
I remember playing RBII online...there was so many damn salutes cluttering up the place one could barely get into the air........oh and the long detailed discussions about "honour" really got a bit tiring too.

Can't believe I agreed with Beet1e and Arlo in the same day, did he11 freeze over? :lol

If you've made a habit of disagreein' with me in the past, I haven't seen you bein' too overt about it. :D
-
why not have a salute button like the check6 one..once your opponant is down or your looking up in a chute hit the salute button..
-
Selector, I like that one
-
another idea, have salutes only avaliable to killer and killed and as personal msgs to each.
-
I like SunKings idea.

Why didn't *I* think of that! :lol
-
the S would only be given 1 time to the winner or loser and it would could only be used for 2 mins after a victory was recorded or a defeat
-
What about when you are fighting but neither of you can shoot the other down? I like to give that person a
as well.
-
like selector said
make the salute command only available for enemy cons, so it is like the check 6 command but use a different key (like shift ').
What about when you are fighting but neither of you can shoot the other down? I like to give that person a as well.
By that I assume you mean another con jumps in and saves one of ya (what kind of engagement 1 on 1 wouldnt end with atleast 1 of ya dead?). Well while the other con is going down in flames, you hit shift ' and a box highlights around that icon and you know it was sent.
-
Raptor, I mean neither one of you can get the advantage so you both simply leave due to fuel or whatever. But I like your ideal the best so far.
-
Here is a briliant Idea!
Get rid of this retarded thing and bring back Ch1, set it to default off and forget it.
WTF is it? Why do we need to complicate things more than they already are?
Furious, this was not directed at you man. Your idea, at the present time is a good one. Its the disabling of Ch1 that isn't.
Blah.. Im out of here.
-
If we did have a button, like check 6, how would the server know what person to give the individual salute to? If it was like the check 6 you would have to point your screen at that enemy con. This could get difficult in a furball. I can also so every person in a furball getting overwhelming ammounts of salutes from a frusterated guy who is not so keen on "gangbangs" :D
-
just make .s a private white text message.

Pretty sure the server knows who you shot down and who shot you down and can be told just to give the bloody thang automajically. ;)
-
True, I guess my comment is more toward the area of a fight in which neither of you shoot down the other. We should just left the
thing as it was, there was no problem with it. "If it aint broke, dont fix it"

Good, and STFU on your way to the door, your whine allotment has been exceeded for the year.

I think the idea to have it work like the check six command is interesting, but it'd be hard to do. I never bail, so for me at least, trying to locate and select the guy as my plane is spiraling to the ground wouldn't work. Also, there are the times, you don't know which con shot you down. Then, of course, the times when you just blow the hell up. :)

LOL

Good point. The person that kills you is not necessarily the person that you were fighting with. Maybe a command that salutes every person that gets a ping into you? Vulchers will now be respected and get their proper salutes:D
-
You have just been vulched by (whoever).
Send ( )*( ) Y or N?
Ok it's not original.

Well if you dont know which con killed you then there wasnt much of a fight... therefore, no need for a salute
