Out of Bounds Solution

^ YES make it happen! One second everything is fine, the next guts are flying everywhere!

If it's really necessary, I like Hamma's idea of "soft no XP boundary, hard no travel boundary further out," but it's hard to say what the strategic metagame of PS2 will look like.

This isn't about flanking, people. If there's an undefended flank to exploit, you wouldn't need to fly over the ocean. If you need to fly over the ocean to get away from watching eyes, then it's not flanking, because the fight's flank extends all the way to the coast. It's simply exploiting different surface and air boundaries to pretend you're being innovative or sneaky.

As I said above, it's not about flying over the ocean really. That's why we only want to be able to fly 200m out. Hell - I'll settle for being able to fly over the waterline only(though that would be dumb and result in getting the out of bounds warning every 5 seconds). We are concerned that out of bounds might be more restrictive than even the waterline.

Higby suggested they might force people to overfly combats. What this means is that he might say, well, no one is going to bother to set up AA near the coast even though they can, so we'll have the out of bounds start before the coast, so that they are forced to fly where they can be seen.
