Title: Will this new points system help or hinder the Buff Pilot?
Post by: Beefcake on May 18, 2000, 11:41:00 AM
I'll cut right to the point. Will we get points for bombing things? Or will this be only points for only for aircraft killed? The way I read it (which is wrong  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) ) buff pilots like me will be hindered, as we get killed more often than we get kills. I mean if you blow up enemy HQ, will you get points, or will you get nothing?

Anyway I'm sure you guys on the HTC Crew will come up with a system that is great and that everyone accepts. I just hope its fair for fighter and bomber pilots.

Maybe for the highest scoring buffer you get a month in a b29   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

We havn't finalized what will be used to determin carreer points. But just to prove a point that the points don't need to make conservitive flying here are some ways to do that.

1. base the points on field captures.
2. Base the point's on simply your total number of kills.
3. Base the points on hit percentage.
4. Base the points on kills of lesser flown v more flown planes.
5. Award points to everone online in the country when a war reset happens.

The above item's are for arguments sake only. We still have to finalize our ideas on what we give a player carrer points. We just look at both sides of supper planes once they have been won. It seems to us that if you are flying your shinie new supper plane you will definatly NOT want to loose it.

So you can assume it's just not decided yet.

Beef-

I buried this in another thread, but I think if this "uber-ride" is to be score based, it will require that you spread your activity around a bit, or be truly exceptional in your one vocation. Fighters will fly bombers, bombers will tank, tankers will fly fighters, you get the idea.

Your ranking does go up as you aspire to improve in all areas BTW.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
