New CV Controls
« on: November 04, 2008, 02:08:58 PM »
My wish involves something I suggested before but I would like to change the request slightly.

Please move the method of CV control to the bridge of the CV like the OClub is from any tower but CV control would ONLY be available from the CV bridge of the CV in question. No gunners (pre-occupied with shooting might not see inbounds) and no pilots (same reason) but a dedicated skipper in command on at the helm!

You could even move the CV path from the clipboard to be only displayed from the bridge, so no more monkey business with NOOBs spelling out ROOK (and other nonsense) with a CV.

Thank you.

may be good, may be bad. It could be bad because no one will turn the CVs then if they have to sit in the tower.

It would be good because the guys with rank would not be using the CV from the air to vulch and ignoring the fate of the CV while they do it.

all they would have to do is to make who ever has "command" has to stay attached/aboard the CV. Once the "commander" launches in a plane or pt boat he looses command and anybody else can take command.

I like this idea! If you're going to command a CV, Command it!

I like the idea....  :aok

But this has the downside of the SB position... If someone who has no clue how to fly or anything, takes control, he could sit in the CV all day. Nobody could use it for its real purpose. A shade account could log on, hop in and move the CV closer to his other "real" account, so he could bomb it all day and all night.

The good thing is we can see who actually has the CV control, unlike those Manned Sb's doing nothing to sink the CV right off shore.

Creative idea nonetheless.

I still think gunners should be able to turn it. What if you're single handedly defending it? Do you really want to hop in and out of the 5" 10 times to turn it?

    It wouldnt really be all that different than it is now really. If the captain got bored he'd set a course and leave. If it got busy someone would jump in. The best part would be if under attack or approaching a SB the guy would be more aware and ready, than if he was juggling flying and the helm at the same time .

Would be ok for the main but would be a disaster for the CM's and special events.
