After the rollout of Upgrade 2.0, the community has shared a lot of valuable feedback, both positive and critical. Several themes continue to pipe up as the most requested improvements. I thought it would be beneficial to review the list below and select improvements you’d most like to see the developers focus on next

1. Silver Economy Improvements
--More ways to earn Silver
--Higher Silver rewards from matches
--Better Silver value across progression

2. Plane Reset / Refund System
--Recover resources from unused aircraft
--Greater flexibility after balance changes

3. Matchmaking Improvements
--Better skill-based matchmaking
--Fairer matches for solo players

4. More Maps / Game Modes
--New environments
--Greater map variety and rotation
--New objectives

5. Flight Physics & Combat
   --Improve flight physics
   --Improve crash/collision behavior
   --Improve radar and missile realism

6. Aircraft & Upgrade Balance
--Address power creep
--Improve balance between aircraft classes
--No aircraft class should feel overpowered or underpowered

I have an idea I’d like to float to both the Metalstorm community and the Starform team.

Would there be any interest in hosting an official AMA (Ask Me Anything) event here on Reddit?

I think it could be a great opportunity for players to hear directly from the developers about the game’s design philosophy, aircraft selection, future features, technical challenges, and the overall vision for Metalstorm.

Of course, every AMA runs the risk of turning into a complaint session. To avoid that, perhaps the moderators could establish a few ground rules.

Personally, I’d love to hear about:

1. How aircraft are selected for inclusion in the game.
2. The balance between realism and gameplay.
3. The challenges of designing aerial combat for mobile platforms.
4. The long-term roadmap for the game.

Would the community support something like this? And would Starform be interested in participating?
🤔

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.
