Not sure how viable a solution this is ... but if you recall that oh-so-addictive-thriller GTA San Andreas - there was a distinct way of keeping aircraft from flying over locked air space.

The possibility arises where when your aircraft crosses airspace (possibly that is out of your level bounds, not sure how the terrain will be subdivided) a NPC controlled "police" vehicle will follow in tow and rail you with an appropriate weapon (also proportionate to their level/zone restriction). So, theoretically you could drop into a newb zone and wreak havoc, but the second you cross into a zone where you're relatively low level by comparison, you get knocked out of the sky.

Again, dropping into a location that houses exclusively lower level players is unlikely, as most would be in the vicinity of a gathering/marketplace area where there are higher levels dwelling (or even just plain other factions) waiting to send you to hell.

Anyways, that's my opinion. If anyone has posted these sentiments earlier sorry for biting on your idea :?

In addition, it would only make sense that other aircraft in the area have open season on your flight. So, your survival rate is threatened greatly when you're outnumbered in rival airspace.
