Manual and long distance course control.
Manual
HTC could give you a wheel that you click on then drag with your mouse to effect heading changes. While that is taking place a smaller map of the local 4 sectors would be in view showing your emidiate heading changes. Once you leave the post the CV continues on the last heading until someone takes control again. This mode requires you stuck in the bridge until you give up control. You cannot be kicked out based on rank. Yes, someone's 4 year old could take control while they ran down to the store to get more beer. Or some squad from another country could decide to jump country and for one night take control of all your CV.
Long Distance
The current mode we use for task forces dependant on rank so that you can set a course that needs a long time to bring the CV within effecttive range. When no one is commanding the CV this is the mode it defaults to.
In the Task Force list each CV group would have to display the mode it currently was in along with the name of the person in control regardless of the mode. It might not hurt for the rank of the person in control of Long Distance mode to show next to his ID to save time puttsing around with the roster.
