What keeps people in Aces High? Even though I like the game a lot I probably wouldn't be nearly as hooked on it if I didn't belong to a squad. I wonder how many try it out for two weeks and then leave without experiencing the kind of camaraderie found only in squads.
My idea (apologies if someone has already proposed this) is for there to be one or more newbie squads in each country. When a person begins their trial they are automatically assigned to one of these. The squad CO should be someone with experience, willingness to teach, patience, and on frequently. These CO positions could rotate often and be filled with persons from regular squads on a temporary basis.
These squads might stick together and new newbie squads be formed or members may move on to other squads or not participate in a squad at all.
I'm sure there are a lot of variations to this, whaddaya think?
