Own Squad Battel Cruiser

[warphoenix]

and there are advantages to the idea it could open up more guns on the ship

[BaldEagl]

So if you're not in a squad you don't get to play with the ships?

How about this idea instead:  http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,267254.0.html

you can join the ship as a joiner. like you join other people in flight. that was my idea.
maybe .join ship blackknights  and you join the ship after geting permission of the squad co of xo

Spent 6 years in the Navy.  If you have ever ate their food, you will know that "mess hall" is a better descriptor!

The real joke here is you spent six years in the Navy I spent sixteen in the Air Force and I called you a land lubber. 
Hats off to you, I can't stand being out of sight of the land. I'm glad there's folks like you that are willing to do it.

right somebody is gonna sit on the boat for the 3 hours that it takes to get anywhere.

+1 and people already already spend hours moving cv groups, tanks and heavy bombers from one end of the map to the other (not to mention those of us in the secret submarine service....    ).

you dont need to sit in the cruiser all the time. you and your squadmates are only able to control it with its waypoints thats all.
maybe you can get an extra position on it were you are able to stick it direcktly if it is need.

Spent 6 years in the Navy.  If you have ever ate their food, you will know that "mess hall" is a better descriptor!

Ummm.... navy vet here too.  There are no "halls" on ships. Only passageways.  And the proper name for it on a ship is "Mess Deck"...  with the actual cooking area or kitchen being the "Galley".   Now... if you are at a shore station, it can be referred to as a Mess Hall.

But all that aside... lets see if anyone can remember these food related terms and memories from the Navy (perhaps other military too):

* Pork Pucks: The "Pork Chops" that came in a can, and as a result were perfectly round.
* UBO - Unidentified Brown Object: The breaded patty that was named differently depending on what shade it was.  Light = Chicken, Medium = Veal, Dark = Chicken Fried Steak.  Also known as a "Multi Purpose Patty."
* Jet Juice: Eventually, some "Grape" will get JP5 in the ships drinking water.  For the next month, the Bug Juice tastes like jet fuel.
* Starboard List Cakes: Even under the best of conditions, the ship never rests perfectly level when at sea.  As a result, all the cakes baked in the galley are very thick on one end, and paper thin on the other.  Dont worry though... the lard-like icing will even it out.
* Mid Rats: The box of mystery food that is handed out as "lunch" to the guys fortunate enough to work the 19 to 07 shift.  Usually consisted of a soggy sandwich, an apple, and a box of Parmalat.
* Parmalat: The milk boxes that need no refrigeration.  Lots and lots of sea stories as to why.
* Beer Day: 45 days at sea without a port call resulted in getting 2 tickets which could be redeemed for 2 warm Budweisers. Usually accompanied by a "Steel Beach" picnic. (I understand the time required for a "Beer Day" is 60 days now? )
* Gedunk: Anything edible gotten out of a vending machine.  Usually candy or junk food.
* Slider: Hambuger cooked by the cooks in the galley.  So named for its ability to "slide" across your plate due to the amount of grease dripping from it.


I'm sure there are others... just cant remember them right now.  Been out for 15 years.

I now return you to the aforementioned thread already in progress.

Dont like the idea personally.  What would be the point to have a ship that a squad "owns" for the tour?  Just something to have?  Nope.  All I can see it leading to is a bunch of ships that never leave port because no one wants to lose them.  That... and people complaining about it.  Especially given that there are a lot of squads that dont always play on the same side for a whole tour.  What... do they got a boat for each country?  One for all 3 main arenas?  No no no... way too much clutter. 

True player controlled ships that anyone can spawn or control as previously mentioned seems like a better idea to me if we were to go down that road at all. 

Besides, all it takes is one or two passes by your average buff driver and even the Bismarck or Yamato would be at the bottom of the bay.  The first time one is spotted at sea, it's going to be like "Sink the Bismarck" by the rest of the arena until it is blown to bits.  So... your battlecruiser that was supposed to last for the whole tour, is "Gone in 60 Seconds".

I'll kill it in 59 seconds...

the point is, we will get more see trafik
its more fun for ouer buff pilots
and it is no proble to lose them becaus the ship will respawn at his home port.
sure this ship would be an easy kill but if a squad keeps an eay on it its not so easy i belive.
and im sure there are alot of people who will lover there ship.

my idea was, you can controll the ship by way points and if its need you jump into the captains position and turn the ship how it is need.

and the other point is,
try to imagine alle the ships staying in a porty,
wold be fun to made som pearlhabor missions on a port hehe
