since we have the ability to make it so we can only fly certian planes from certian fields, I was wondering how you all would feel if the "perk" planes/vehicles were only available from certian fields (like near factories or HQ's). And make them free.
Maybe put a limit on the number of planes of each type that are available from each field. Then the Perk points could be used for buying that plane when it is unavailable because all the free ones are gone.
I think though if an enemy takes it over they should not be able to get the "perk" planes from that field.
If this is not possible or unpopular then I say maybe you get to fly 2 "perks" a day as suggested by Paul Busiere's post ( http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/009398.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/009398.html) ). Unless you have the points to fly anything you want.
But alot of people are left out (penalized really) because of the perk system. Then some who fly here alot can fly them anytime they want. IMHO more than 40 hours a month is alot! maybe even too much. Wether they choose to fly/drive(soon) or not dosent matter. The fact is some of us can only have them now and then. It ends up being pretty unfair to pay to fly and not get to fly what you want.

I've seen the starting perk points mentioned a few times, I don't think anyone would object to every paying account getting xx per month, then earned would count to over and above that.

Just drop the perk point system entirely. Pay the fee for the game and fly what ya want.
The idea of an artificial balance in the game has long since been shown to be a lost idea. The whines about the chog, niki and osty show there is a perceived imbalance already. The number touted as proof of an imbalance just give credence to the whines and more players fly the "uber" rides thinking it will help them be a better player.
Pay attention to your own plane and forget what anyone else flies.

I like the perk system the way it is. Not many perk planes ever seem to be flying, and when they do I have noticed quite of few groups going for them. I assume if you kill a perk plane your perk points go up. I think Pyro/Hitech did a good job setting that up. But thats just me . (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
