Ship command time-out

[Lephturn]

I have an idea to stop a bit of the foolishness with folks switching sides and "hiding" the CV.

Simply don't allow anyone to command a CV group unless they have been "in country" 12 hours.  Use the same timer as the side-switching limit, only now make it so you can't command a cv or switch sides again for 12 hours.  That should solve some of the dweebery with high ranking players switching sides and sailing CV groups out of the action.

Alternately, let 'em command, but just make their rank 0 for that 12 hours so that anybody already in country out ranks them until their time is up, then business as normal.

I agree, a 12 hour limit is a good solution.

Pasted from another thread here about same thing.  

Here's a suggestion for the CV and port capture. How about that when the port is captured the fleet self destructs killing ALL players on board each vessel. The kills of those players go to the person who got the field capture. That would make an incentive to goon or GV the port and capture it. <evil grin>

Thats not a bad idea.

I was thinking you may have meant something different. Like:
If you are in command of a CV and you havent actually issued it any commands for say 30 mins then your command is revoked. Would stop people taking command and forgetting about relenquishing it.

I agree with the 30 minute idle and then command revoked.

I also think control should be limited to one CV at a time.

Sounds good!

 Might add in that you cannot command a CV if you did not launch from it, are two grids away from it and you are atiumatically dumped into the CV's tower if the enemy are within 20k of the fleet.
