Wingnutt, obviously you guys weren't using the boat, so in most cases, yes you were "hiding" it.
I agree with what Chalenge posted.
You could not be more wrong, I think you missed what he explained, I had pointed this out while it was happening that night.
The port was captured by the NME while we had control of the CV, the person that had control of it put it into a triangle shape course that extended no more than 1.5 sectors away and bringing it back through the PT spawn, we repeatedly tried to get the CV released from this person by PM's, VX, etc,, the CV was eventually sunk due to this, we could not move it from spawns, bombers etc. This person was afk for over 4 hrs with control of the CV, while it was on the outbound leg it was safe and out of view but discovered easily at the coast.
As for hiding it: we had all but one CV at or near the ports with no intention on hiding them whatsoever. They were in that configuration to keep the overnighters from doing just that, stealing them and hiding them from us as this has been the case on the same map before.
This person was the highest ranking Bish logged on at the time, having some type of timer in place to prevent this in the future would be acceptable. IMO
Another negative side effect of rank!
Edited for realism.
