well the only possible missions that a spy could threaten is an NOE horde, obviousely a mission that is above dar can be seen by all and if nobody up to defend the base under attack, well thats that country mens fault. so personally i dont see the harm in spies.
as far as cv locations go, well the cv's are tools of the game, dweebs that spirit them away to hide them and not use them for their intended purpose (which is to bring the fight to the enemy) are ridiculous and deserve to have the fleet sunk. use it or lose it, just stop crying about it.
as i stated in another thread on the issue of the NOEers and horde bunnies, if i spot a mission of you heading out to sneak pork the opposing countries ill state your numbers, location and directions on 200 for the world to see.
i have no problem with it. you wanna sneak around and attack undefended bases and them scream its my 15.00 ill play how i want and you like being lame and avoiding the fight is your idea of fun, well thats fine
my idea of fun is giving your location out on 200 and watching your missions get smashed. i think the funnest part and what makes it worth my 15.00 is the whining on 200 after you are all sitting in the tower crying that the base couldnt be taken because it was defended. is not money well spent until i hear at least one of you crying.
i guess this doesnt really make me a spy, i wont hide it ill do it right in the open.
NOE horders are almost always the first to whine about how it is not up to others to tell them how they should or shouldn't play the game, and in this they are correct. no one has the right to tell another how they should play. but that, like all other setting of standards of behavior, are 2 sided swords. it is not the right of the horde monkeys to tell me how i should play either!, so if i get my enjoyment and my monies worth by busting the location of horde-strikes and hidden cv's on 200 WELL IT IS MY 15.00 AND ILL PLAY ANY WAY I WANT!
my only advice, plan your missions above dar and use the cv's (to fight with not to play hide and go seek with), and you will never have to worry about spies. what information could they possibly give up if you actually played the game and didnt try sneaking around pretending you were some kind of cartoon intardnet hero?
play the dam game and have fun. its actually a cool game if you take the time to get involved with actually fighting your opponents not just sneaking around them.
