I was thinking it would be nice to have a sort of Combat Air Patrol (CAP)-style thing going on, that way you could preemptively handle an incoming enemy should you get caught off guard, or fail that, the ability to stage a plane or two to launch with a single key?
But with other changes to timing and such that might not be an issue, but it was definitely something I had been wanting while playing this. It also may have been my misunderstanding of planes, as it seemed like planes would land while retaining their color/armament, just needing refueling/repairing; I do enjoy the idea of deciding if you want to refuel now or later, it's something I picked up after a run or two!
Thanks for the quick reply, I wish you luck in your continuing development of this!
