Official CV timer request................
« on: October 04, 2010, 02:43:25 PM »
I am basically suggesting a timer is latched in (or reset) each time a port is taken if the CV is not owned by the same country that owns the port after e.g 60 minutes Then it is scuttled.

Tilt, this was your idea initially and I fully support it.   :aok

Personally, I would like to see a longer time limit than 60 minutes, but this is really a minor point only

Yeah, so they still continue to hoard the CV's?   No thanks.  Three hours tops as Lusche suggested.

Might this have the unintended consequence of CVs only being used for port defense?

doubt it, our Captain Stubings will still drop anchor in front of the SB. If by chance it does then that would be an improvement from putting them 500 miles from a fight

I agree, though 60 minutes might be too short.
