Flares that look like this:

Either for the normal flares or as cashshop customisation, please.

That has "best-selling cash shop item" written all over it.

Though it does appear that the sheer number of such flares would make them more effective, so maybe a cert deep within the tree?

[Gonefshn]

WANT.

And it doesn't mean they have to be more effective, just looks cool!

I'm talking purely cosmetics, no change of the actual flares.

[Greeniegriz]

This.

I'm already 100% sure that I'll drop about 100 bucks the first month just to look as cool as possible.

I think something like that would just cause un-nessessary FPS lag. Especially when 100s of people are doing it. It would also look ridiculus :P

That and there are no flares in planetside as it would be to easy to completely avoid anti-air from 2 of the 3 factions (TR using flak) :)

Could we get missile barrage a la macross for our fighter jet while there at it

Btw. Fixed.

I don't see a reason why some kind of swarm-type missile shouldn't be possible, it's half past the future after all.

Did you watch the footage at all? All the factions are using flak guns now, and the infantry rockets were constantly being deflected by countermeasures of some sort.

YES

You could balance it by making more flares = more protection.

Launch 1, you have a reasonable chance of breaking the lock of a missile that's already locked on to you.

Launch a ton, and you make it very difficult to even get a lock on you (although if a lock was successful and no more flares were launched, it would stay locked).

Launch all flares, possibly with a maximum flare capacity increase, and you prevent anyone from locking on to you until either A) the flares die, or B) you move a certain distance away from the flares.

An additional benefit of launching all flares could be that it became harder for enemies to lock on to other aircraft who were near the flares as well, although it should never be impossible to gain a lock on aircraft who didn't launch the flares themselves.

Also, I'd like to see the flares be used for more than countermeasures.

Light up a night fight anybody?

Pile in as much awesome stuff as you can into this game, I don't care how over the top it is. I will pay for it if it is awesome enough.
