Pilot limiting!

Wattershed · Post by **Wattershed** » 2007-02-28 17:32

I really hate aircraft camping with 4-5 pilots standing in the same posision. Why not limit the kit to how many aircraft slots there are? Then if you dont get a pilot kit youll have to get your *** to action instead of just camping.

Like on bashra.

2 x A10 = 2 Pilot kits
2 x Cobra = 4 Pilot kits
2 x Blackhawk = 2 pilot kits

Thats 6 pilot kits for bashra... NO MORE!!!

What do you think?

I think noobs will be crashing your air power. The skilled pilots will be fighting to try and nab a kit.

On that map there must be max 6 for all the aircraft to function at the same time.

hmm actualy increasing pilot kit spawn time should discourage Flap Jack pilots

so 2 dudes grab an A10 kit and than go hide somewhere and laugh their asses off while people are trying to request the kit

Best idea would be to make a ramp and planes only accesible from that ramp. So you would have a proper line for the plains. And than if you see already 2 people waiting in line you will know that you will have to wait for a LONG time for the 3rd plane.

That ramp idea's great. Only problem is this. If you can't jump over each other, then you're pretty screwed if two or more people get behind you. You won't be able to get out, even if you change your mind about being a pilot. No choice but to wait it out.

You'd also probably see griefers who block the ramp.

we need a new tournament where you're assigned a position!

I agree if possible make it limited to the maximum # of the aircraft of that map, but also make it when you die with the pilot kit, you need to wait 10 minutes before requesting a new one, that way it will give a fair chance to everyone pilot at least once

Limiting pilot kits I don't think is the answer. Stopping retards from being able to request the kits in the first place would help. How you accomplish that I don't know. Unless you figure out a way that you must pass a training course and earn a badge before being able to request it. then I would cut the number of kits down to be slightly less the double the amount of pilot seats.

the kit limitation would be a good deal. I also thought the game senses the diffrence between a crash and a shotdown. which means you could set that timelimit request specificlly when a noob suckerlanded it cause of his own fault. in mind that we all get downed from time to time and would be pissed off waiting.
maybe it would aswell be nice to set a timelimit for entering aircrafts after these have spawned.. like that squadjoin timelimit. so if you hide with your pilotkit it fals to ground and youre back to your old 1, giving it away to someone who surely wants it.
first post. love the game.

Looool good point. Altho you could always suicide

Or the ramp could me 1 meter high (you know just few steps) so its hight enough that people cant jump on it and cut the line. But the ramp doesnt have that thing on the left and right that prevents people from falling from it. So you could just side step and fall to the ground, 1 meter only, without loosing any health. Im a God damn genius thats what I am

But seriously as it is now, its pure luck who gets the planes/choppers.
Even if you limit the pilot kits to 2 kits for A10s (hard work for the DEVs) you will still have people waiting around for the next A10. But instead of waiting for the A10 to respawn they will wait for the possibility to request a new pilot A10 kit. It would still be up to luck, or the quickness of fingers.

My idea is teh shitz
