Tommy wrote, The idea was a comic-like interface with player avatar and/or planes (or crews!) appearing in it so the whole game feels like you're reading a comic book about your avatar. This reminds me of an article. I think it would be pretty sweet to come back after a nice long queue and read through a page or two of comic book describing what your pilot's been doing.

The biggest problem I foresee is the art requirement seems to go by O(mn): we want art of each pilot in a variety of poses. Maybe we can work around by doing what hybrid-RPGs seem to do: use one art whatever the character's doing. But that's not very active and engaging.

For each action, either show the plane or show the pilot gesturing wildly at an NPC. Each NPC has the same pose (bored/annoyed), but with a uniform slapped on top to show their job.

I think this is a Good Idea and will go on the 'sparkle' list.

I know im a bit late to the party but i like what you are trying to do.
You could think of doing a sort of Paper-doll kind of thing. Angles would require whole new "dolls" but simple poses would be easy to do.
As for implementation it would be a bit major but it would be amazing to have Faction Stories. The flight guild could be a bit of a tutorial string that eventually drops off with a "join a faction" quest kind of thing, then each faction has their own (possibly branching) story.
Obviously that would take a lot of work, i don't think it should be there at launch/early beta but its worth thinking about, wouldn't you agree?

paper dolls a la the Sequence game (if you haven't played it, it's on Steam and totally worth $5)
