I wish the AFK status would be disabled when an input from the joystick or keyboard was made. I also wish that if you PMed someone who was AFK it would give you a system/host message that they are in fact AFK.

To take it a tad further, if this was implemented (+1) would it be also possible to set AFK automatically when minimizing the game?

+1 to go another tad further could your icon somehow reflect your AFK status, (color, text etc.,) in order to save check 6 and pointless help etc.?
-
+1 to go another tad further have the modified icon visible only to friendlies.

This would add a million ways to abuse it.

How would the afk flag being visible only to friendlies be abusable?

take a bomber click afk and watch your plane being invisible to the enemy all the way to hq. heck it would finally allow me to avoid snailman. i swear that guy smells bombers from 20 sectors away :).

He means the specific "AFK" tag is for friendlies only, enemies will just see a regular icon.

What if we were to also change it to a clipboard option, where all I had to do was pull up the clipboard and check the box AFK, rather than pulling up Text/VOX?

My bad, thought you meant no icon for planes marked afk :old:

No worries, when I saw that, I was like, 'Oh dear, nonononono.' All good. :) My wording could've been better, and I agree, that would be a horrible idea.

What Wiley said is what I meant, the cowardly nme shouldn't know your AFK from 6k out, but I would like to let my own side know.

ok then wish granted. just click that you are afk, anybody that looks at who's on range will see who's afk.

Add in that those that are AFK for X amount of time are kicked from the game so they wont conflict with the eny.

Not to quibble but that isn't the wish, the wish is for people to actually know your afk not potentionally know.

I don't use it because I figure no one is going to read it, and also if I remember right the last times I used it you couldn't unclick it, (bug type thing.) Really It isn't any kind of burning inadequacy of the game just a little featurette that would be nice.
