How about if you capture the home port of a CV, it gives up the location of that CV?

You'd still have to go to great lengths to fly across the map and sink it, so not an easy 'poof' return.
It would add some extra incentive to defend the port when the CV was at sea, even when it wasn't being hidden, to keep it's loaction secret when it's in route to a fight.
It would still allow for strategic 'moving' of the CV to keep it fom falling into enemy hands, just not 'hiding'.
would end the need for 'spying' to find it, because capturing the port would locate it.

Fun for all?  :salute



That's not bad at all...  One possible tweak-  Maybe instead of giving an exact location, it just shows the sector it's in with a 'C' in the top right, or turns the sector a different color?  It would add some hunting for it instead of laserlike precision on the location.

I really like this.  Maybe wishlist it?

Did you miss the word "figuratively", for crying out loud, how incredibly petty are these minions?  Are you really that dense, or are you just so arrogant that you think everyone else is?


sorry dense is the aguement your bringing forth to justify taking the carriers to end of the world. so far away even your own country can't use them.

The underlying issue appears to be - Why should 1 squad (regardless of who they are) dictate how assets in game are used.

This is wrong (imo), everyone should have access to all assets, to utilise them to increase the value of game play. Personally I like attacking/defending carrier strikes on bases and other cv's.

Who is anyone to tell me (I pays my $15 same as everyone else) that I cant use that cv as its detrimental to the "war effort"?

Swing and a miss son,,,,,how is hiding a cv a negative for all players. Remove the tools of war form the other side 1/2 the battle won.

Hawker , when the CV is so far away even players wanting to use it can't because of it's postion or someone has control over it and won't release it so YOU can use it, that is a negative for the country who now possesses it, why prevent your own countrymen from using it, it's not just their CV group.

1 Squad doesn't, its whoever has the "lowest" score in the country, which ultimately is someone who only plays to impress the Pizza Faces.

Clarification noted Butcher - not finger pointing, just curious as to who thinks its reasonable to stop all assets being used as designed as it doesn't fit in with their "strategy" or "win the war effort".

I have no particular dog in this hunt, but find it odd that people think that way when everybody pays to play the game is all.

That CV is 9 sectors from 86 it took 9 hours to get there. Hmm seems to me people will fly that far to get to 30k to pork towns in buffs but NOOOO I'm not going up there for a stinking CV. :cry
If you want it go get it. If not well you don't deserve it then. :neener:
Oh please make it on easy on me I don't want to work for it. :cry
I'm not going up buffs and go looking I'm going to the Boards and complain. :cry

I don't really I careless if Bishops want to hide CV's and NOE all day long, its their style of fighting. Everyone pays $15 to play the game how they want to play, for example I know of quite a few V-guys that have left the squad due to fact they don't want to spend their money NOE'ing and porking bases.

I spent my $15 watching others argue about others hiding CV's - its jerry springer without having to pay for cable.

Though sometimes the cv is close at hand and fighting. Maybe only give up the location if it is over a certain distance from the port. That way if it is a little closer it still requires a bit of hunting.

I think simply highlighting the sector that it is in would be enough.
