Pilots license.

Post by Zelgadis Ukille »

Please give Merc's a pilots license, it is very annoying not being able to find people and fly at the same time, I will <3 you forever.

While you're at it, could you please do the same for drug dealers? Every time I find myself unable to deal directly from my dro-copter, a piece of my soul is wrenched from the raw and searing whole. On the whole, I would say the experience is very annoying.

I, also, will <3 you forever.

Oh, and make it so lawyers can only use the BMX, because they're all a bunch of hippies, anyway. Don't forget: <3. 4eva, even.

EDIT: Incidentally, I think this would be better-served in the "Suggestion" section. With an asterisk.

I wouldn't mind being able to purchase a pilot's license for some ridiculous price, but it'd be stupid to just give other professions it. What other reason is there to be a wheelman?

I don't like the fact that I can't use merc and fly at the same time, but giving a pilots licence to the merc would be too much. I'd like to be able to buy the pilots licence. The other idea I have is making the /find marker appear for everyone in the vehicle. This way the merc doesn't have to be the driver, and can be in the passenger seat giving the pilot directions.

Or maybe a separate merc command for any such situation? "/relay [ally#] [target#]" or something?

Kind of eliminates that whole potential navigator-driver team work through communication though...

I had considered that. Also, it cuts into possible roleplay that could occur if, for example, the merc is deliberately misleading the driver. I mean, sure, you could still pinpoint someone other than the intended target, but it loses a certain "frantic comedy duo" charm you get with one guy typing bearings as quickly as he can, as the other guy passes important cross streets.

Why is there a "suggestions and bug reports" forum and then a "suggestions" subforum?
