auto-switch player refusing to release boat
« on: April 27, 2026, 11:53:17 AM »
Yesterday Skyhawk was a Knight and took control Of CV86.He then was auto switched to Bish retaining control of CV86.Numerous request we're  placed on country and 200 for him to release boat which he refused to do!  This is a constant problem with this player!
  All he had to do was relog and he refused.
  I have made the same mistake and fixed it by relogging.
  Please fix it so when you switch you release all CV's

Or maybe just not let the auto switches play with boats.

I have also ran into a similar situation but less nefarious.   A high ranking player had control, but something called him away from the game for a couple of hours.

The ranking player control thing might be an Arena setting.  Might be easier to just discontinue rank locking control.

Any form of switching sides should release command. Evidently it doesn’t.
The player was obviously exploiting a bug and needs a hand slap and the bug fixed

Another side switching  episode with Skyhawk when asked why he would not release boat said I wasn't polite. Please fix it so when you change country you give up control of boat
