Title: MA Perk Use Idea
Post by: BlckMgk on October 03, 2003, 03:42:30 PM

To make this quick
___________________________

Have tons of unused bomber perk points and don't know what to do with them?

How about spending them on an AI based bomber attack?

The idea is to purchase AI controlled bomber formations (only by a "or the" mission planner) to fly a set pattern, (developed by mission planner using proper waypoints/climb commands etc.) to bomb a target, while the Mission with players heads somewhere else, or tags along, with the bombers.

For 1 AI controlled bomber formation of a certain type perk cost will varie based on type of bomber chosen, and bomber skill level (percentage they're successfull).

Ok.. first comment about idea is that, yes this sounds like TOD, second comment is that many people don't like the idea that the MA is a WW2 Combat sim, that it is a WW2 Fighter Sim "And don't ruin my fun"(by this I mean people perfer to fly fighters vs fighters than bomber vs object on the ground.)
___________________________

So the idea is, that it should cost perk points to attack on a full/wide scale basis.

I think that we should be able to use our perks to subtract from other players perks... you can use 1000 perks to take 1000 perks away from another player.

either that or be able to give em away.

Doing down another payer is an absolute no-no, but gifting perks on a squad or mission basis would be a great move and would produce wonderful missions.

it would be good if you could have more than 2 drones if you have the perks....say get another formation (of 3). If you have more perks you can get more formations. That way bombers will be happy and so will the fighters who like shooting down bombers ;)

good idea... shame its came up so late in AH1...i doubt HTC will do anything with AH1 now... and id rather that if it ment AH2 comes out "ontime" :rofl

No... no giving perks if it is for a "missun"..    You should be able to use yours to subtract perks from a mission tho.
