You can always go old school and pick the oldest squads! Like M.O.M, Enigma, 111Th Falcons, Kamikaze or WarDogs. Or go with the Squads forumed from those squads. Like Devils Dragons, Confederate Air Corp (CAC), Loony Ben and the powerful 121st Misfits! :whistle:

There are 12 Major Squads to choose from. But in all there are 87 squads total. Just too funny i guess!

I guess what im saying is, just pick a damn premade squad instead of making one that has about 9% chance of success.

Well I don't know about all this 9% chance stuff & hurting established squadrons thing, but Lafayette Escadrille is only 1 month & 4 days old and growing slowly & steadily & filled with awesome pilots.. so that pick an established squadron stuff I disagree with, especially since that from the time I fell in love with this game I wanted to bring a piece of history in the form of my squadron to this game.

Does that mean we can't fail? Of course it doesn't.. & even though some of you think it's all about numbers (which I disagree with) it won't fail because I am doing something silly like letting any pilot looking for a squadron into the Escadrille so that I have a lot of pilots.. I would rather have any 6 of the pilots I currently have now than 106 of the many pilots that come every day on World Chat looking for a squadron!

And if someone wants to make their own squadron?? Good for them! Diversity is the spice of life! It's a lot more hard work though than just picking a name and spending $100,000 in coins... when starting out a squadron that you want to become a success story you can just kiss a large part of your flying time goodbye! :S

All new squads should be disbanded. All the good pilot automatically moved to Enigma, they rest randomly assigned. Sounds fair to me :)

Just joking of course. many of the new squads are actually doing really well for themselves. It's always fund to watch them grow.

Well I guess you need to actively recruit pilots then.. recruit on World Chat & in missions & perhaps even have a 2nd account or newer player recruiting in the lower servers.. one of my best pilots was level 4 when I recruited him.. another was level 6 when I recruited her.. but as for my squadron though it's not about the number of pilots we have.. but rather it's about the quality & character of each pilot that we invite.
But I have to say, quantity has a quality all it's own.. just doesn't work for my squadron as we have a cap on the number of pilots we will have total in order to try and stay as true to the history of the Escadrille as we possibly can.

I was offered a place in both M.O.M and Misfits, It was awfully tempting but I knew that that was not what I was looking for. Yes they are two great squads but I wanted something else, I checked the forum and read different squadron threads and according to what I read in the Lafayette Escadrille I thought that's the one for me lol. I also saw that Zebra Up was the leader which made it all the more appealing. true there are lots of squads but some people are leaders and some followers, it's hard for a leader to be a follower at times and it can be hard for followers to be leaders. I started a squad but I soon realized that having a squad of my own was not my thing I would rather work under someone. And there is no one I'd rather work under than Zebra Up!!

Don't bother my wording. I'm not a very good writer and don't know how to express my ideas or feelings in word form very good. But that won't stop me from posting, I LOVE people and communicating with them soooo yea I'll do my best to improve my writing and the flow of the post:)

May I speak my opinion on this, Hamers?

I really don't think that numbers in a squad is as important as the individual people who fill its ranks. I'm not saying that the large squads have no worth, because they're filled with awesome people. You have Kestrel in your squad, a member of this community whom I and many others hold in high regard.

The NLR has only a few active members, and even fewer who are forum-active. I actually enjoy the introverted nature of my squad. But even if I didn't, I still love the squad because of the few gems I've picked up along the way, and I'm honored to have those members, whatever few, to fly under our name.

Don't let it get to you. Kamikaze is a great squad through the right eyes.

i never said i had a problem with who was in the squad only that i need them to be on the fourm. i have a reason for this; it is because i got reports that someoe flying our banner was spawnkiling witch is aginst our rules. i want people who i can hold events with only me throttle and kes are on the fourm and throttle rarely plays.
