I took this screen shot early this
morning. Seems one of my "countryman"
wished to keep this TG "safe" should
the Port change hands again...

Personally I detest this sort of "game play"!

 

 Let's have some comment on the issue of
 what to me is cheating...

Unfortunately some people also consider it "cheating" to tell the enemy countries of this pathetic behavior.


Ringing the maps with land, rather than water, would quickly end this problem.

It has been flamed over many times before, Gypsy Baron.

In my opinion it's real simple.


First rule, don't hide it off map.

2nd rule, if they do hide it offmap, IMO all restrictions are off. Your free to do whatever it takes to get it back on map or found.

Yup, that sucks.  Basically all you can do is take control of the task group yourself (if your rank is high enough), wait for someone else with a high enough rank to do the same, or get on open channel and announce to the rest of the arena where the CV group is headed.

If HT is reading - Is it possible to code the CV waypoint system differently so that it is impossible to set waypoints that are off of the visible map?  Kind of like the buffer zone that the CV has around land?  I guess I can't argue that pulling the CV behind friendly lines to keep it from the NME isn't a sound tactic, but floating it way off-map like that is kinda retarded.

CV Hiding 1


CV Hiding 2


CV Hiding 3

It comes up every so often; check these links over in the Gameplay Forum.

IMO this is cheating. I know some people will consider it fair because it can be done. we are given an arena to fightin so why not just make going off map impossible

Gotta agree here.  I think if players aren't willing to use the cv offensively, even when the port has been captured, then they are just being childish.  Hiding the toys from the other kids because they don't want them to have a turn playing with them...  No excuses, off mapping a cv is just plain stupid.  I'm all for outing it on channel 1.

I don't call it "cheating" as the game is engineered to alow it.  That said, it's a pathetic tactic that is detrimental to gameplay.

Again, simply ringing all the maps with a thin strip of LAND would cure this immediately with no programming modifications required.

I consider that cheating - albeit absent a "rule".  Also absent is a rule about outing it on channel 1, which I would do if I saw that kind of crap.

Old news Mr. Airing the Orchid.

Just model an edge to the flat world, and have the cVs fall off and tumble to their death.

I have suggested before, that a Port that is captured, the CV reverts to it in some specified time.  I suggest 10 minutes
