Assult Ships

One Ship per squad.  Only squad members may use there ship, unless others are "invited" aboard.  There can be an extra ship for those who dont believe in being in a squad or that havent joined a squad yet.

A squad ship should require responsibility, therefor, No Autoguns.

The ships can be directed like the normal Task force, but only by Squad members.

Squad ships will have a home port for each Map.  This port will be selected by the Commanding Officer of the Squad.  If the Ship gets destroyed it will spawn at that port.  If the port is in enemy hands the ship will not respawn untill port is recaptured.  If there are no members of the squad currently playing, the ship will sit in the harbor of it's home port (at which time 2 autoguns for defence)

No Ship should show on Sector bar, and only your squads ship should show up on the map.

These ships should have the capacity to shell a onland base and launch LVT's, PT's and any future vehicles HTC may come up with.

To ID the ships, i thought a Flag or two from the mass would be appropriate (a Country flag on top and a Squad flag below)

Well once again there it is, anyone eles like this idea?

Good idea, except make it a PURCHASABLE ship.

For example, you have to go to map room, and select SQUAD SHIP and select one of the ships on the list (CV or BB or DD).

Each ship costs certain perks (CV=50 BB=20 DD=10).

Only members of a squad can purchase ships, only squad members can use that ship.

CV's can spawn planes only , BB can spawn PT boats, DD can spawn LVT's .

(this is to give each ship a use for attack role).

A new DOT command would allow non-squad members to use that ship (say, .allow playername). By USE I mean fire its guns or spawn from it. Control of the ship is always and solely the priviledge of the player that paid the perks.

Would be fun to see one or more squads banding together to do a massive BB + DD rumble against an enemy port or base :)
