Title: Transferable Perk points
Post by: storm on March 12, 2001, 04:31:00 AM

Howdy!

  Just a idea that crossed my mind.Would it be ok to be able to transfer perk points between squad members.Some fly much less and cant afford to take a perk ride so transferring some perks could solve this and make squadmeetings a bit more flexible..i.e
all can take same plane

This would be a nice and useful idea. I would go as far as transferring points between everybody, not just squad members.

Maybe somebody wants to join your Ar 234 strike but does not have enough points? You could donate him a few so he can join.

Of course it is possible they will not participate the mission ie steal those points but I guess they would get bad reputation fast.

Between squad members is a great idea.  Not so sure about free trade amongst all players.  I can envision it on Ebay:

500 AH Fighter Perk Points
Minimum bid-  $50

Do you have any Bomber Perks?  I'll spend that 5-10 times that much trying to gain them so $50 for 500 would work for me.  :P

how about a slider in ur options menu
to give X % of your perk point gains
to a squad pool for ur squad.

say u have it set to 10%, if u fly and gain
10 points, then 1 point would go to your squads perk pool. so when your squad
does squad missions, everyone can grab a perk ride if they need too.

I'm for some kind of way to share perkies with squaddies.

 The best argument for sharing the perk points is to reward cooperation in a mission where only some players receive perks.

 If you escort a bomber and see no action or faithfully stick with him instead of following a wouned enemy to finish him off, you would get no points while a bomber would get some.
 If you scout a field for a bomber strike and damage acessment, you would not get any points while the contribution to mission success would be crucial.

 I could name many situations like that.

 If someone buys his points on e-bay, so what?
