Well I came up with an idea that could of made that possible (stress & anxiety) but the guys I pitched it to were not willing to try it... wonder why...

Its actually quite simple have everybodies nuts on the server hooked up to a 12V card batteries... when you get killed online your PC sends a little input via a USB link to a "relay" that closes the circuit and zap the nuts of the guy that got killed... I think that it would make for mor cautious flying LMAO...

LOL Zoom - but are you gonna wear one yourself (and where do you fly)?

As Thunderbolt said, the game really does cater to any flavour - and as far as flying with like-minded folk is concerned, well it just needs you to find them. I've been flying with a core group of pals for many years - and keeping up a 'feud' with a rival group too - and we've all had a lot of fun over the years. No doubt we've all got well-fried testicles by now

It doesn't have to all be 'fun' though. We fly fairly full-switch some of the time - although one of our members is in his seventies and we usually use short icons when he's on, to allow for his eyesight. But none of it seems to have lost its appeal over time. It's one of the best games I know of.
