Please address the problem of CV hijacking

[ebfd11]

If a knight or a bish did a side swapping manuever just to "hide a rook cv, wouldn't it be more likely that they place them in an area to be sunk?

[minke]

I don't think any Rooks would have put them there, but rather I suspect an agent of Knights or Bishop tasked them there just to get them out of the fight.

Wrong Wrong Wrong. Rooks do it all the time, so it can only be a spy? 

[HawkerMKII]

Please understand.  I'm not talking about differences in opinion about how to fight a CV group in the conflict area.  I doubt we'll have agreement on that.  What I'm talking about is completely removing the CVs to the back edge of the map.  The night this thread started there were FOUR CVs way behind the Rook continent.

NO, rooks put hem there to hide them, the same way Bish and Nits do.

Perhaps provide an option to buy Task Force Mission time for $$$ perks.

Anyone who coughs up the perks immediately assumes command over anyone else who has not paid, no matter what the rank. When a Task Force is in a "paid-for" mission, no one else can hijack it. Presumably people who pay for a Task Force mission would want to accomplish a mission - probably great for squads or joint squad ops.

Make the CV perk loss price equal to the perk price of an airbase. If you take a base but lose the CV, the Task Force commander breaks even. If you take a base and all vessels are in tact, woo hoo, you clean house.

Lesser vessels are less of a perk loss. Ports could be something a bit less valuable than an airbase, as could Vehicle bases.

Planes, PT boats and LTVs are the individual's responsibility, and if downed are not counted against the Task Force commander.

Best.

    perk CV command.

Points per nautical mile?
Points per segment?

[BigKev03]

Think about it this way (as I am sure we all do).  People hide the carriers to deny the enemy the use of the carrier after a port is taken.  Is it a gaming thing?  NO, it isnt but it is a tactical advantage because you deny the enemy the carrier and the air armada it can provide for as long as you keep it afloat.  Now as far as maybe addressing a prior post where you have to be on the carrier to contorl it that sounds good but I dont know how it could be programmed?  Maybe we could chrage perks to control a CV??  You get control of it for one hour or something like that?  I dont like the idea of hiding CV's but then again I do see its advantage at times when we have maps that the enemy is limited to the number of ports but yet your side controls the CV.  Anyway all it takes is a little deductive reasoning to find where it is at and go sink it.

buy your cv for say 100 perks, you sink it, you lose them. Or if someone wants your Cv you can sell it on. Just a thought.

Yo...you wanna buy a CV.I got one here cheap!

[Avanti]

Maybe cv's should be coded so that you cannot take them behind your front line bases.  Or people that are here that do not like it, take control and bring them back down to the fight.

Maybe you have to be part of that country for X amount of time before you can move them in any way?

This is a good idea, but it brings the element of commerce into the game...
but if it does go ahead, the person who purchased their fleet should be able to customize their new fleet? or pay on a 'per ship' basis
eg; CV = 20 (only one and must have), Crusier = 15 (max 3 crusiers) and so on
what perks would you be using? vehicle perks?

[Rios]

hmm, i gotta give a +1 to the "you have to be in a country for x amount of time to take controll of cv"
That should mess up hijackers

[milesobrian]

yea i had to take the cvs and pull them away from the OPPOSITE side of the land mass and make them move so they can actually be used.

[Masherbrum]

NO, rooks put hem there to hide them, the same way Bish and Nits do.

Since coming over to Knights as a member of the Widowmakers, I have YET to see a single CV "hidden" when playing.   They are used as they should be.   Only a fool would have a free resource and not use it.

Not if we can help it!   

[LTARsqrl]

You better add this then, If you are commanding a TF, that is all you can do.  No flying. No GVing.  Because it never fails, that whoever has the CV when the buffs arrive, is off some place else and nobody can turn the CV to save it.

[The Fugitive]

I call out on the country channel that the CV had better start heading toward some action. If it does not I will start reporting it's position to the enemy every 5 minutes. Sometimes it works, other times I'll get one guy to tune me up and I guide him strait to it so he can sink it 

Ya it's a lame move, but thats the best way to fight a lamer isn't it?
