Task Group Hide & Seek [revisited]

[Maverick]

There are 2 options they way I see it and both are related to gaming, not real life as possession of the port NEVER gave an an enemy a cv just by capturing it.

1. The port capture gives the losing country 15 to 20 minutes of fleet possession and then it automatically sinks. The new fleet reverts to the ports new owner, end of discussion.


2. The "old" port owner gets to keep the fleet they have until it sinks. The new port owner gets a nrewly spawned fleet upon port capture. This means at MOST one extra fleet per port to program for and the hider can play their fleet and the new port owners get the reward of capturing the port.

Result of this type of "compromise" is less "gamesmanship" and more combat play. This also makes port defense a more critical part of the tactical / strategic game play and might even be considered "immersive". A second feature of these solutions is to stop the whining about it, and the ability of a "score hound" being able to dominate the fleet action entirely.

Perk the CV's!

There ya go.  How many perks for a 68 class CVBG?

Why not simply allow the "new" owners of the port to spawn a new CV after a period of time. The "other" CV would have no support persay so it would be a one shot deal...it gets sunk you lose it.

Why not simply cut out the puny lil dweeblike action of hiding fleets in the first place?
Hmm what a concept. Do I mean like NOT hiding the damn thing because if it's hidden it isn't any good to anyone anyway? And, by not hiding it, I won't be showing my arse as a contemptible lil snot who can't stand to lose so will do something childish?

Yeah, I guess that's what I mean...what a concept.

[Thrawn]

You want the game to give back the CV to team that lost it, because they're to lazy to go get it?

You could have bombed it before it got to far away anyways.  The thing only moves at, what... one sector every hour?

Change who can see the fleets.  Make it so the country that owns the fleet can see it, and the country that owns the corresponding port can see it.  If they are the same country, then no problem, the fleet is hidden.  If one country owns the fleet and another the port then the fleet isn't that hidden and the port owner can see it also and choose to come and try and get it back.

Basically:
- The person who owns the fleet will continue to control it until it is sunk.
- You can hide it all you want, but if you don't control the corresponding port then you know the enemy that does knows where the CV is and will most likely come to get it back.
- You don't give it back to the enemy just because they captured the almost defenseless port, you make them come and get it back.

Easy solution to CV hiding: add the ability for all players (rookies, nites and bish) to see who is currently controlling each team's CVs.  By displaying the names, everyone will know who is controlling the hidden CV.  I'm sure the radio and message boards will discourage that player from doing that again.

I play for the bish, but I would much prefer to use and loose a CV than hide it.  Problem is you can't always get it away from the person (capt. dweeber) who's controlling it.  

That said, please not more magical radar, sonar, satillite views, GPS navigation, laser guidance systems, laser range finders......
If someone hide a CV, send up a couple 234's to find it..without bombs its a great recon plane.

[BGBMAW]

I f you guys saw my name...and i was haiding CV.. my counrty men would laugh at you guys sayin BGB,,,give us our cv backk....who cares what anohter country thinks...It is war..we can hide it if we want...ya i kno wwe cant use it ..but you cant either,,thats the trade off......But yes ARADo is made for searchn ....

But the showing CV captains name wont do crap....

If your a bish, not all your country men would be laughing, some would be pissed that you're wasting an asset that is real useful in capturing fields.  Of course if your a rookie or nite, I can understand your statement.   Of course if your real intention is to load the CV with plastic judy dolls as a Love Boat for off duty furballers, you might gain some real support for this strategy.

loll

ship full of plastic judy dolls..lolo
