it would be pretty easy to organize a mission have them sit in the tower then spawn after a 15 second delay.
if it's longer then it might not get used.

I don't know how long it would take the system to re-add the player into the ENY calculations/equation. I only put the timer (15-30 seconds) because I don't know that information. I suspect that HiTech would know it. If it takes the system 5 seconds, then have it be 5 seconds. I think Aspen is the only one who understood what I was saying.
I'm going to simplify it, if possible.
When you are in the tower right now, you count towards ENY. Since you are not contributing anything to the war effort, or the game in general. However, you are contributing to the ENY because you are online, yet not flying/driving/or being in a gun. If you are in the TOWER, you can click on a check box (like we have for "afk") and it will take you out of the ENY calculations. So if 1 player = 5 ENY then ENY would be 5 less if you clicked that check box.
Now, when you are back and want to fly, you simply click the check box. You wait however many second(s) for the ENY to add you back to the equation, using my previous example, +5 ENY. Once you have been added back into the ENY, you can take off (and now join missions). When the box is checked, you can't join missions, because you aren't in the equation of ENY.
Meaning, you wouldn't be able to have 50 players click the check box to bring ENY to 0, then launch a mission to have ENY at 30+. Simply, because when you click that check box, you basically disable being able to do anything except talk and use the clipboard. So no joining missions, or launching out of the tower being 'invisible' from the ENY system.
When you are afk for more than 10 mins, an pop-up appears informing you that you have been marked as "afK" and to click the check box (auto checked) to get back into the game. When you un-check the box, you wait however long (could be instant or a few seconds) and then volia, you are back in the game to do whatever you want.
This pop-up would NOT occur when you are flying, driving, sitting in a gun, or even swimming in the ocean as a pilot. It would ONLY occur when you are in the tower. This wouldn't pop-up on any of the aforementioned simply because when you are in a Gun, Ship or Field, Fighter, Bomber or Vehicle you are contributing to the fight. You are an open target for any other player (enemy) to interact with and kill you. They can't kill you while you are afk in the tower folding laundry. They can kill you while you are afk in your bomber climbing while you cook dinner.
Final Case and Point.
When you are in the tower, you still count towards ENY. When you are afk in the tower, you aren't contributing anything to the war effort, no one can kill you or see you. However, you still count toward your sides 'Eny Penalty'. Having this auto-check box after a few mins of no actions, would make it so other players on the same side wouldn't be 'punished' or 'penalized' for having afk players. And it's only 1 click for the player who was afk, to get back into the game. So it's not a major inconvenience for them, and I think it would at least help a little bit with all the ENY complaints, both on the BBS and In-Game.
If you still don't understand it, or see a way it could be exploited, then please say what you think could be exploited or what you don't understand here. And I will do my best not to go
on you (
