I'm fine with the 3k thing around the cv....even with a jug I have a fun time turning and burning within those restrictions, but 2 aspects are a drag: when the cv is literally on top of the base, we can no longer defend it, as auto-puffy starts in moments after gear up, and that other annoying thing, the fact that 3k or 13k, auto-puffy is equally likely top put you in the tower (unless, as previously opined, you're in plodding 7k Lancs driving straight to the boat, THEN you're home free)
