make a timer so all object hardness is 100% during that time period

this late night nmilkrunning is rediculous

sometimes i wanna log on during teh day and furball a bit , but with 13 ppl on each side and no radar anywhedre you cant find a fight


strat is fun at night when the arena is full and you can expect opposition. milkrunning when theres 30 ppl online is just lame.

That's an aweful idea, IMO.  Overseas guys, and those of us who are able to fly during the day (read: unemployed slobs) shouldn't be restricted in what they/we can do in the arena.  How about figuring out a way to boost the number of overseas players?

I know how we can do that SOB...

We can have multiple servers. One in the US, one in Europe, one in Africa, and one in Russia.

We can call them "game worlds" and integrate them into one "world"...

Oh wait that doesn't work!   :D   :D

Add extra (and more potent) AI ack to the strat targets, and make it proportional to a country's pilot numbers.  Fewer pilots = more ack.

This would prevent off hours milk runs, and tend to equalize numbers a bit during heavy use time.

Surely that's a typo.

Of course you meant from 3am to 3am, right?  If so, I'm all for it!  :P

Leave strat alone.......imho when dar is out, and the numbers are tilted against the Bish, I actually fly better  :eek:

Why?  Methinks when dar is down,we all use better SA.  We look before we attack, we watch our 6's constantly, and we are always scanning the horizon for bogeys.  I find myself doing better with no dar then with it because I'm alert, and ready to engage at all times.  Next time you have no dar...check yourself out, and see if the same happens to you!

And for those folks in the states who work PM's or midnights?  I say leave it be, either strat for all or strat for none.
