Title: Question for Hitech etc
Post by: Guppy35 on November 17, 2005, 11:56:42 PM
Maybe asked before or even done before but!  Since I'm clueless most of the time, bear with me :)

Would there be anything to stop setting up something in special events that might be a bit different then the Snapshots etc?

I was remembering back in my AW Nomad days, we had an arena that was invite only for a squad anniversary where we had some control over who came in and what was enabled.

It made me wonder if something like that was possible in AH?

For example, say a bunch of furball type squads want to have at it for a couple hours on a Tuesday night.  Would there be a way to make that happen?  Again having control over who came in and what planes were enabled so some putz couldn't jump in and wreck the fight?

Or the buff guys could have a toolsheds or else night without the furballers coming in.

Maybe it's a BK's "Blue Spit Special" night where nothing but Blue Spits are flying and it's last man standing.

Nothing but Jets night, Less then Zero's night, Tempest in a teapot night. etc etc.

Hopefully you get the idea.    Basically it's the abilty to request an arena for a couple hours with the players requesting having control over who enters and what flies.

i'm fairly sure you could "reserve" the SEA.. all you'd really need is a CM to act as doorman... and setup the arena.

I'd request the arena for a couple of hours and then never allow anyone in.  It would remain completely empty.  I think I'll call it the Combat Theater.

Why doesn't the Blue Krakhed's flyin the CT anyway?

Why not Jg/54 Krakheds against The BK's?Do you think you could handle it?
There is certainly less people to interfere with your furballing.
And it is a whole nother scoring arena so you would be getting your 15$ worth instead of just paying 15$ for the MA experience.

As long as the SEA isn't in use, all you would need is a CM to go set everything up.

I don't have a prob. with it.  You can email or p.m. me about setting up something like that.  I would be glad to help you.

I like the idea of that... maybe this way, we can set up donut in another arena and make it a little more personal 1v1, granted, I'll get schooled but it will be a good lesson.

edit: I won't even bother mentioning the reason I won't go into the CT, but it is an all too common one.

Ask JG54 how the BK's "handled" it the last time they came to the CT.

PS-I am not in the BKs in the CT, I have my own dweeby squad in there.

OK gonna pursue this then if it's possible.  WMLute expect a PM.  Looking for suggestions on a Fighter Pilot's night.  My initial thoughts:

-no buffs or ord enabled- No clue if this is possible
-No VH enabled-no clue on that one either :)
-entering the flak zone of an airfield is a no no as is vulching
-entering a 1 v 1 without asking is discouraged
-You gotta fight or what's the point?
-No kill messages or "so and so landed 27 kills in an LA7"


So it's not about ego stroking but getting better as a fighter jock and not worrying about landing em.

Planes are free and no one dies anyway so might as well improve your ACM so it's not so scary to test your skills now and then.  Could be in the long run it will help if you ever fly a scenario and that life matters.

And it just might be fun if enough people are willing to live without their K/D, kill messages or score being a factor.

Any other suggestions welcome :)

I can turn off bombers, but can't turn off ord.  I CAN make everything so impossible to damage that bombs are worthless.

I can turn field ack lethality up incredibly high to prevent vulching, or even flying near a field due to the puffy ack.

no kill msg's no problem.

let me know how this is all progressing.  avail. nights are Mon. and Thur.

Would that also turn off kill messages when you shoot someone down?  I think we'd want that so we could talk some friendly smack about who killed who.
