Landing kills
« on: October 09, 2008, 10:17:59 PM »
My wish is that when you land kills, it does not end up in lights. But if you get 5 or more kills, then it should show up in lights. This is just because im sick of watching friendlys get 2 kills, and leaving you stranded to go land! And this would also make sence since 5 kills means your an Ace.

This is but a simple wish of a simple man  :)

P.S. why is it 2 kills any way? what does 2 kills mean? and why not 1 kill then? 5 is a nice number  :)

I understand what your saying, I average about 3 kills aswell, but I dont understand why 2 kills gets your name in lights, is this the hook to get new players to join? or perhaps to not frustrate people? if it is, keep it the way it is, but i think it would be cool if it said something like, CLONE155 has landed 5 victories, he is now an Ace! and double ace for 10 kills, and so on in that fasion  :)

     Of course you could do away with the name in lights altogether...just a thought.  :D

Yeah we really need the 5 kill one instead of 2. It's too simple to get 2...you can just fly around and get proxys and land.

Lets see...do you really need to get the fame of landing 2 kills?

FYI, if you dislike kill announcements clogging the radio buffer, type .squelch 6   and your radio won't show those system announcements.
