I loved the fact that we got a new map; but I am also kind of worried that the lack of new aircraft on the standard research tree means that Ace Combat Infinity is slowing down, and that's the last thing I want to see happen, because I really like ACI.

There are still a decent number of original aircraft which Project Aces can add to the game, and I imagine that it probably wouldn't be overly difficult to get the rights to add more real-world aircraft, or even variants of existing real-world aircraft into the game, even if some of said variants happened to be prototypes like the F-16XL and the FB-22 Strike Raptor.

Besides, not all of us currently want to (or are able to) upgrade to a PS4, at least not until the price for the system actually comes down somewhat.

I sincerely hope that Ace Combat Infinity stays alive for as long as possible; and even after it dies off, I hope that Project Aces will update the game so that it can by played offline, maybe even making it so that you will also be able to play all of the co-op missions offline, in an "Offline Co-op Mission Mode", so to speak; including the Special Raid Missions, and to keep players from continuously repeating the Special Raid Missions, those could be setup so that they would only be accessible under certain conditions, such as achieving specific results in one or more previous missions, although it might be nice if the player could choose which Special Raid Mission they want, but that option like the Special Raid Mission option itself, would only be available if certain results have been achieved.

In addition to that, and to add even more variety to the "Offline Co-op Mission Mode" mode, Project Aces could also setup the mode so that the player will be able select different aircraft for their team mates, while the opposing team will be completely randomized, making it somewhat similar to how you could pick aircraft for your wingmen in Ace Combat 5, among others.
