Star Trek TOS was my favorite show as a kid and it still is as a 59 year old geek.

You are the equivalent to my bigger cousin who was a year older (still is) and had complete control of the TV. He loved that stuff whereas I preferred Hogan's Heroes, Speed Racer and Flipper along with any baseball game that we could get on cable...early cable days-we'd get channels from Sacramento, Oakland and SF.
I did like the Scottish engine room guy though, "We need more power, captain!"

Oh man.  It sounds stupid but TOS was my life growing up.  I was TOS obsessed.  I watched every episode over and over and over every evening at 6pm on one of the UHF stations.  Had every line of every episode memorized almost.  I was a bit OCD as a kid. ;)

We had a weird setup.  We had  two local competing UHF channels and I guess they were both too small to afford the TOS license so I guess they split the cost and half the year TOS was on  one channel half the other.  When they switched they have a marathon and run every episode in order.  That was my yearly Mecca pilgrimage and I'd stay up all night.  My parents just rolled their eyes and let me slide once a year.  LoL.

For a certain cohort of our Gen-X population, TOS was formative.  It's a set of mythology that we all pretty much share.  I think Star Wars and TOS were to Gen-X'ers like what Homer's Iliad and Odyssey were to the Ancient Greeks. ;)

Yes, I begged for the Star Trek Technical Manual for my birthday or Xmas for years.   :rofl

That's awesome!   :cheers:

Each tour should come with a sortie limit by plane type..

A max of 20 sorties per tour of a specific plane and that plane is locked out until next month..  :joystick:

Take haggertys monthly winners and block them from their plane the following tour..

Variety is the spice of life!

Make it 10 per tour for perk planes.  And make all perks non-refundable, even with a successful landing.  They are gone as soon as the sortie starts. 


Maybe maybe not. I mean the 262 gets 1/4th the kills of Tempest. Is that because its a better plane or is it because the Tempest is so much cheaper?

Regardless, less of these planes in the air regardless of who is flying is the best approach.

A bit of both probably, but Hispanos are much easier to kill fighters with.

Perhaps you haven't fully realized it yet, but this is a place where most adults come here to act like children since it is a video game after all  :aok. A place to release vitriol rather than taking it out in public I guess.

Somebody that plays a lot can also get a high K/D.  This here fella must be a leet jet fighter pilot and a leet buff gunner!






"Lies, damned lies and statistics" and all that, but they are fun.

If this isn't today's society I don't know what is..

The extremes they go to now is what is sad..

It’s not even that I can’t take it, doing so makes their head explode. its why would I want to.
These guys are the SOP of AOL Chat, Big tough talk over a PC, wet their pants in person. Just low IQ immaturity.

Every one of them crumble on a return.

I have better things to do than manage child mentality.

This all sims allowed on bbs where all games benefit and we acquire new players over it. But it works in reverse now. We’re not gaining from dcs post we lose, no one is coming from dcs, we only lose to them. I have my own thoughts on why its allowed.
 Its a drain hole.

Then we have those who complain to them about it, then flip and to feed them and keep em around like stray dogs. <blank stare> they just wasted my time.

I can flip these types around like puppets on strings, and do. But why would I want to spend my time disputing nonsense with degenerates? Its retarded.

200 is fun to me, why? Because the former players aren’t polluting it like the bbs.

These guys could never break me, ever, it comes down to why would I want to expose myself to people who successfully avoided maturity at all cost.  Worse, why would a new player. And isn’t that the point? Either chase them away or take them in another game, either way the disgruntle babies hurt us and are allowed to hurt us.

This is a total waste of my time and they love that. So be it, but I also don’t have to lower my IQ to battle disgruntled babies.  Who would want to? Not me. I may not be the smartest clown in the circus, but thank cod I’m not that stupid.

What I see here is irresponsible to customers. I have better things to do, and will do so. In a way, this us worse than BigWeek, at least we could all kill-file them, here there is no recourse. Ignore is a joke. Locking instead of deleting a joke.  , the damage remains. My info still remains, until I seriously stomp my foot. Thats bat-crap crazy.

So No, absolutely NOT.  I may pop in like most, but this is too juvenile by physically grown adults for my blood. They shouldn’t waste anymore energy being embarrassed, I’m embarrassed enough FOR them. I expect this from kids, its putrid from “ adults”.

No, in a way they win, but I shed fleas.
