When you move it 12 sectors deep...kinda takes it out of play for others on that country....just sayin

theres usually more than one CV....just sayin. And who's job is it to say whether it out of play or not? If its going 12 sectors out then someone wants it 12 sectors out. It's their $15 a month, let them do what they please with their CVs.

Who "cheated"?

Whoa, brilliant argument. To "cheat" or "to be a cheat" can be acting as an impostor. Switching countries but fighting for your original country fits the bill. Any more rhetorical questions or are you actually going to pose a compelling argument?

No argument needed.  Some players like to deem CV's "theirs so don't touch it". 

Sorry but you lose.

As I have stated before, make country changes stay in effect for 30 days, no exceptions. It will not solve the problem, but it will make it more inconvenient.

Hmmm. I've never commanded a CV, so I may be wrong, but I don't think the person who steers it to the end of the map have to actually stay on it during that run. So they aren't spending their $15.00 driving the CV for 12 sectors. I think he can lay the course and then go do something else. If that's True....

Then a fix might be that if the port for a CV was captured, and that CV group has no one on board, then it respawns at the captured port. This would force someone to spend their $15.00 by sitting on it, if that's how they want to spend their time, fine.  But I think this would deter this CV hiding Business by forcing the person who is doing it to be out of action for as long as the CV is.

--Twas me the other day ...
Haven't seen that word since the night before Christmas.

On the OP, people are going to pass info between sides. All sides do it. I don't. But people do.

On the tangent issue of hiding cvs, just say no. Use them for flight operations, as D.O.D. intended.

Okay. No more word games with you. You've obviously given up. You go ahead and declare that I lose if that makes you feel better, might ease the sting of realizing you're a dolt.

And they call us "vtards" :rofl

If that country wants to hide the CV let them. Its their CV. If HiTech didnt want CVs the option of being hidden then they would make it so the CV could go only so far away from land.



Edited: Stated HiTech, meaning the Staff of HiTech Creations

Maybe, but I'd let HiTech speak for HiTech.   

This ability to hide a CV seems like a side effect of the rules governing CV control. It also seems like an undesireable side effect. I propose a solution because as good as the HTC staff is, occationally somebody proposes something they didn't think of and they incorporate it. If I see a potential solution to a problem, I post it. 

But let's stay focused on the idea for a second. To all the CV hiders....If you had to sit on the CV the whole time, would you still do it?

Spy's were a real world Asset, OMG he switched sides, Spied and found the cv and had them sunk, Get over it this is just a game =]. I think HiTech needs a Tantrum forum for all of those who cant seem to keep it to them self's when something they don't like happens so I dont check the bbs only to find 20 new posts about this person did that or that person did this.

YOU choose to pay the $15 a month as much as the other guy, You know the consequences of playing this game should it be spying or ho'in It happens and oh yea did i mention the biggest shocker of all!

ITS A GAME.

The simple and elegant solution would be to make every port uncapturable, thus making the CV uncapturable.  As it is now, every country starts a map with the same number of ports and CV groups; let them keep 'em and maybe they'd be used as intended - to help capture/defend other bases.

The issue here is NOT "countries wanting the CV's".  It is a few people who are dictating "how the CV's are to be used". 

Sadly, these players might as well play Battleship if they want hide CV's and not use the free assets.
