Presumably only earned by flying that aircraft, and would persist throughout missions, unless the host elected to turn them off

More examples of end tree upgrades could be like giving the Revoker a RAM coating that increases its stealth significantly, a massive fuel efficiency and thrust boost and for the Opal (similar to the fancy new engine that was made for the F-35), the ability for the Ifrit to equip stealth pods that can be equipped to any external stores to decrease their effect on RCS

Etc

permanent, as in between servers?

# finite relic Yes, to reward playing over a relatively longer period of time

that simply wouldn't work with how multiplayer works
one server will be running an entirely different mission from another
the score you get from one mission may be negligible or substantial in another
most of our current missions are balanced around our current aircraft roster

the skill gap would also be magnified greatly
games would be incredibly unbalanced between those who've played for a long time and casual, short time players
empowering those with many hours and high skill would absolutely have the same effect of punishing newcomers who are overshadowed by upgrades that require dozens of hours of playtime
growth of the game is going to be largely hindered by newcomers being discouraged to buy the game and commit, as they will be forced to sink hours into grinding or be overshadowed by those with free time

one of the biggest prides of NO is the lack of grind. this would entirely ruin that

Please no, I really wouldn’t want to have to grind anything or be knocked out the sky by somebody who by virtue of playing the game more has a superior airframe

#

The only reason these game mechanics exist is to keep players hooked with empty dopamine rushes

Good gods no.

Grinding for "better" planes is just a bad idea.

If people want that, they can play WT
