I would like to see it implemented where the range marker of an enemy icon at 200 or less is replaced by your opponents game ID.
-
Ya know.....that aint actually a bad idea......

Why?
Be wanting an icon with his fuel remaining, ammo left etc next :)
-
Why would you?
Who in their right mind would ask for that?
However, seeing who you're fighting when you're real close up with him could certainly make for some further addiction to this game.

Think it might be fun but it's yet another step in the wrong direction I think. Not sure how I feel about it. I do agree that it might add to some further addiction to the game though, have the feeling some people would be hunted down quite badly by the horde.

good!! i need some company.
:aok

I'm not really for that idea....although I suspect there would be two groups of people singled out by it....
The ones that would get treated very well (Oh..thats "yyy", lets let him ditch/RTB).....and the ones that would draw no quarter from the crowd. I can see it now...."xxx" just flew past me headed West, lets get'em!!!! Of course I'm not completely sure that situation isn't sort of the norm now sometimes lol.

"That ******* in the YAK is xxxxxx, ****** shot me down! Somebody kill that ******."

when i was talking to 82 earlier he made an interesting point, if you got close enough, you could often tell the pilot by thier markings.

Good point

SHawk mentioned the other night that squad-specific skins might be an interesting identifier. I kinda like that idea, as squad art isn't really a practical identifier for me (stupid old monitor), but with the skins you could in theory get a decent idea of what particular group you were up against, without spoiling all the fun.
I'm not exactly sure how easily (or not) that could be implemented, but I just tossed that as as food for thought.
I'm not a real big fan of the personal identifiers, as I rather enjoy the suspense. Interesting ideas though.
Cheers,

You probarly desirve it Furby :p

I'd personally prefer just to have a star (or similar) show next to the icon of someone who has had a kill streak running.
Hunt the stat dweebs!

Interesting....they did that in Fighter Ace. I became quite a popular fellow one time when I had a 50+ kill streak going. Had 10 stars by my name. Was a ton of fun.
-
Would take all the challenge out of hunting specific pilots LOL
-
Why not have a star show up next to your icon when you rank 1 to 200 in the fighter stats. Maybe have 2 stars show up for ranks 1-10. And bribe HiTech to make shane's name be his icon at all times in hot pink to all countries.........:)

Yeah i remember that too, was quite funny from 3+ Stars onwards you usually good more and more groupies. Atleast it helped in acquiring more stars. ;) :D

You really want to boost his ego so much, just imagine him to be the only one with a custom Icon...
-
I'd be for that actually, seems like a good idea.
-
hell i aint hard to spot...look for idiot upping on vulched field or running/fighting 5 or more. Interesting idea..would be fun to see how it would work out...i think the uber pilots would end up getting more kills and thus taunting more...until they get shot (than even more taunting)...hmmm....i think alot of taunting on ch 200 is gonna happen,..IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. :)
-
I am all for showing the game ID at close range. I think it would add some spice to the game. but how about 400 yds??? :aok
-
Yeah, why not...
-
I wouldnt be for it. Its one thing to have a localized situation where somebody says such and such just shot me down. He's in XXX plane.
On the otherhand like its been said already if somebody can see off hand who you are and they happen not to like you, then its gank city if they have the right friends in the right places.
I came from a game that was like that and it gets old after a bit. Same thing can happen here. At least when somebody knows what a certain pilot is flying and that pilot gets shot down, at least that pilot can go somewhere else and have a chance to get airborne without the gank fleet being right on top of him/ her.
-
I think this would be a fun idea that would probably be whined to death by runners everywhere.
