How do you hide command of CV?
« on: May 29, 2013, 11:31:21 PM »
Tonight at approximately 7:45 pm pst in sector 0-17 we had Lancs inbound on CV71 ,I tried to take command of Cv and wasn't able to turn boat. No name was showing on the clip board at the that time and boat was sunk. At 8:oo pm  B24s were inbound on CV64 sector 8-20 on hdg 300 degree's"same hdg as 24s" again unable to turn boat and no name on clip board for command of CV.
 I think someone is exploiting a glitch to hide who has controll  of CV. I wasn't the only one who tried to turn Boat  and was not able to take command of it. :noid
 I was not the person who hid the boats were they were at , But I find it disquesting that someone can keep me from defending a position.
I did up off of CV64 and did get kills on the  bombers.

whoever took control of it in the first place had a better pilot ranking than you, otherwise you would have been able to take it over. i don't play with the ships so working off faulty memory, i think i remember something about a person can take control of a ship, set it on a route then go do something else while still in command of the ship and their handle doesn't show up as being onboard the ship. something off the wall like that.

Next time, go to the roster, look for the top 2 or 3 best ranked people in your country and pm them to take control for you and release it real quick.  Adds some time, but at least it's an option. :aok


PS: Agree it is diquesting...diquesting indeed. :huh


:old: How is one's quest to save the ship suppose to succeed when a disquester is hiding his control like that?

Generally, if you log into the arena and bring up the task group command screen before all the arena data has been downloaded to your computer, it's very possible to have "nobody" commanding a CV. It's like the roster...if you open the roster right away, it will be missing hundreds of names until all the data gets to you.

Maybe it's another side-effect of having achievement stars attached to player's names.

I was always under the assumption it doesn't show up until it changes hands while you've been online.

I thought it had to do with the former CV being sunk and respawning again with the former CV driver still attached, but not showing.
