A Quick Look At The VR Training

Sadly currently way too crowded to use it. Would have been cooler if there would be like a public and a outfit only VR area. But it's a good start.

Aye, allowing outfits to reserve a VR instance could be useful. I know Malorn stated that there wouldn't be any friendly fire inside the VR, but I would hope for that to change with outfit training in mind. Allow outfit members to fight each other as part of training, obviously the deaths/kills wouldn't count. The area is certainly big enough for air/tank duels and there are plenty of places for infantry combat.
No idea how hard/time consuming that would be to implement, but something I do think should be kept as a possibility.

Hopefully, they make it a WHOLE LOT BIGGER ...... so my fly buddies can teach me to fly ..... and then dog fight .......

Hell YES, to some sort of Outfit Training. In VR, or on a Continent we have locked. Ideally, we could play all-Outfit members ..... but suit up as any Empire ...... it would be helpful, fun, and & hilarious at times. A fun down time from actual gameplay, but still gaming on some level.

I see a lot of potential to build this area as not only Training, but Team-building. Friendships forged in PS are what kept many of us coming back even as gameplay became more & more stale/repetitive.

PERHAPS; after I get trained by an experienced Pilot in VR, I'd have a place In-Game to list my "Trainer" beneath each Plane I Cert-Up. The "Trainer" of record would get a certain sliding scale (%) of my kills (first 50 ?).

This way, a seasoned player cool enough to give up his time to train me or other rookies gets something in return. Perhaps his "TRAINER XP" would go to Certs he could only use in the cert tree for the planes I flew & got XP with.....

You wouldn't take actual damage, just when you die in flight in the VR, you get a "You Died" message and your ESF/etc's health resets. And ammo I suppose.

This is one of those few cases I'd like to see something instanced in PlanetSide 2 so you can go into an area with your squad and outfit.

One thing from the VR should be included outside of it.
When you shoot a friendly in the VR it pops up an indicator that you shouldnt do it.
That should happen in the Warpgates as well, new players shoot the shit out you in the Warpgate and there is no indicator to tell them its the wrong thing to do.
So when they leave the Warpgate they its business as usual, shooting the closest thing next to them.

I know they are warned about griefing out of the Warpgate and I am not saying go back to the old days of weapn locking people in the Warpgate but that small addition of a friendly fire warning system like in the VR would help imo.

Couldnt be that hard to implement.

I wonder if it would be possible to make the dummies in VR to spawn in different camo?
Would allow new players to see the differences and introduce an easier way to learn to look for the overall theme and shapes of the empires and not simply the main colors.
