Tbd suggestions

[MattMcQuinn]

I would like to see an easier way to unban players and possibly new power up spawners, and when you dock on the base if you click "E" you should be able to change planes, oh and one more thing it would be nice if you could see if your friend is typing a message or not. Thanks -and I know you guys have lots of suggestions so dont worry about if these cant be done there juast a few things id like to see in the upcomming updates.

Yeah i think the plane change thing is interesting. Once you land on your base, you instantly get healed, but then you have the option to change your plane.

Land on Base
-press E to change plane
-press F to launch from base

Being able to change your plane on the fly would be very useful. I think that's a good suggestion though you would have to change the fact that planes auto launch from bases right now.

I don't use Altitude's chat that often so I think adding in a "friend is typing" feature would only be marginally useful but it would have some value.

Maybe for whispers only?

I disagree with the planechanger, at least for league purposes. Part of the skill in the game is choosing the right plane for the right situation. With that said, there should be a penalty (aka dying and respawn time) if you want to switch planes. Otherwise, it's all too easy for a team to see the enemy's bomb indicator, rush back to the base and whip out a fleet of explodets for defensive purposes, then immediately counter with a minehop push.

This is all in reference to league matches of course; as far as other servers go, I suppose it would be ok to try it out, though I feel this is just another way to dumb down the game.

Agree with rye. The fun in this game is in planning ahead and choosing wisely.

I also have an idea to go with that.How about u spawn on your base?It kinda makes you look As if your taking off.It also emphasis the word"Plane"in the game

But this would also make bomb-blocking so much easier, something that might get a negative response in the community (vets, at least)

I definatley agree!
great suggestion

Apart from the fact that the planes spawning on the base would block bomb shots, or have the bombs appear to go through the planes..

[Wintegral]

No. As much as having planes spawn in the air might look silly, having them spawn on the base would make blocking much easier and even accidental blocks quite common.

[MattMcQuinn]

oh well I mean its more relistic and it still damages the base a little beside for block people can already sit on the base with reverse thrust or Miranda

You can sit on the base but that hurts your team and makes you easy to kill. What you're suggesting is that a bomber could fly to bomb a perfectly clear base only to have a bunch of blockers spawn out of nowhere.
There's a big difference between getting a direct hit on a base and a little sliver of damage from a near block. A difference that makes or breaks games.
Also, this is Altitude. realism isn't quite on the menu.

i think the only change we could make without taking the challenge out of it is to make it were "f" just as it spawns you, can launch you from the base.

I agree.

his idea would enable people to just base sit. So my idea isn't good if you look at it. We could have three players "base sitting" and they would die not the base, so good point Wintegral.
