Title: Some Ideas I have for the game
Post by: SimSaint on April 14, 2003, 01:53:26 PM
I don't know where this goes and this is a general discussion area.....  So i will post here.

Clipboard features.

Goon calls on towns.

The clipboard (on strat section) should list towns down for people who fly goons.

NOw this would only be under listing when under a few condidtions.  Theres is a friendly plane within a certain 5k radios of town.

NOw realisticaly pilots would tell HQ towns down and then data would be directed to all pilots who goon.

It would make gooning easier.

---------------------------------
A new dot command to hand pick people and make there icons a certain color.

I got freinds online who i would like to notify by color. I also like leaving my icon disply on plane type, and not name, that way i can identify whos in what.  

--------------------------------------

The bombing thing is way to tidous.

I like bombing...

But when you are lining up for a target and use the "y"  to select, and then find figs on your tail knocking out your engines, it makes it hard to bomb..

Most of the time i can not reach an alt unless i want to spend 30+ min launing 2 secotrs back.  The whole time not having any thing to do.

So if calibrating could be modified a bit and not made to be so specific.

I guess this is a rant.. and i know not everyone agrees.

--------------------------------------

2 free weeks on trails.

I think people can milk this to much.  
I am on my secound accout do to technical issues. But if people wanted to not pay and enjoy the game they could.

Add more limitations on free trail.
Like
No squad Joining
Limit on half of planes and bombers
etc.....

-------------------------------------


Map reseting.
Instead of reseting map when a country is down to one city, make it so capture a capital city a sure win.
The cap is where government is and will be disrupted in such a way the country can not continue.

---------------------------------------

More boars. Having the pt was kind of like setting one item out in a candy store.  Subs, Smaller destroyer types etc.....

Thos trop transporters used to storm the beach fronts in WWII.

--------------------------------------

I know this is a flight sim, but having troops would be cool.
IN hanger you could select your load out of troops, Gunners, Hvy Gunners, Snipers etc.....

5 or so per person.  

Player would take controll of one troop and rest would follow, firing at what player fires at.  And maybe the ability to make formations and give more specific order to each unit like...

Lay low...---- Cause him to lay down
Don't fire... ---- Cause him to not use weapon when others do

-----------------------------------------

Some good ides.  The troops idea is a good one, but I think we need more ground vehicles before it can really be an interesting part of the game play.

Sounds like WW2 online... we need more maps and more stability on the servers before anything else...

Like the goon call idea.
The buddy list idea is cool too.  Would be nice to see all of your buds (beyond squaddies) instantly when you sign on.

What about a new squad  dot command ?


Like  .auger Saw , .destroy Saw ... or a script language like :

while (1) sendCheck6(Saw);

:D

if your asking to make this possible hit alt-i...if your not then  you do have some decent ideas...not very feasible in the current game (excap changing bombing but hitech has to much on his plate for that right now)
