It's been talked about before, but now with the new improved AHII model, I think it's time we should try it in the CT.
What I'm going to recommend and a general rule, that when you take-off for Monday, take-off leaving from the hangars. That way it forces you to t/o from the hangar, taxi to the runway, check and make sure it's clear, then take-off. (Or, if it's emergency, just t/o right out of the hangar. :) )
For a day (just 24 hours) I would like to try to enable friendly collisions. What this means:
a) When you take off, you have to make sure no-one else is taking off from that runway or about to land.
b) When you do take off, you need to ensure that no-one is taking off in the opposite direction
c) When flying and dog-fighting, you have to watch out for all pilots, not just enemy. When you're engaging an enemy pilot, you got to be careful if more than one pilot is attacking. Friendly fire is already enabled, so you'll have to be extra careful. This will also end the 4-5 guys on one fighter dweebery. They'll end up taking one another out just to kill a single fighter.
d) When landing, you have to announce you're landing and tell everyone not to up.
Thoughts on this guys? It's just for a single day

I think it would be great but I can also see the impending flames from accidents during takeoff and landing. I do like the idea of people being a little less aggresive when shooting a target I'm already saddled up on :)
Question though: What happens if two people spawn on the same runway, do they both explode?

That's the way they do it in squad ops, but most of the time collisions are off on the runway... it's when you go wheels up is the fun... form flying becomes a little harder also... people have to start becoming 3D pilots, not 2D... it gets them from just looking out the windscreen...
I like the idea.
Great Idea Fork

The only reason collisions are off on the runway in the special events is that the CM toggles the setting. They cant turn it off for specific areas and on everywhere else.
I'm interested in seeing how well it goes over. I like the idea in theory, and I'm sure it would work better with the guys in CT than the MA, but we'll see. I'll keep my fingers crossed :)
