Correct me if I am wrong, but would'nt a NOE mission show up on DAR of the spy's map, thereby negating his need to intercept messages?
Meaning, we could set up a mission with 20 pilots in the same room, and only communicate by crib notes and carrier pidgeon, and all the spy has to do is look at the map and see a clump of "Friendlies". All he has to do then is report them to his cronies.
I thought that was obvious too Muck, I just didn't feel like pointing it out to Culero... The Dots show up at the base
you take off from.... No mention of any raid need to happen at all... Just the Dots on the screen and an observant spy!!

All true, folkses, no argument. A good and dedicated spy can cause all kinds of havoc. But, like I said, whatcha gonna do about it?
I guess my point here is more about "fog of war" and such. There's no use allowing miscreants to spoil your fun. This "second account used to spy" thingy is WAY old news, it was being done at Air Warrior when AW was the only game out there. There's really nothing reasonable we can ask the company to do about it, second accounts and even second accounts logged into different countries *can* have legitimate usages.
Any honorable player knows this (spying) is low class behavior. Thus, IMO the best thing we can all do is be gents (and ladies!) and promote good sportsmanship by example...and let shame be the reward for those few who misbehave. Certainly, we can have more fun in the arena playing than by com-play-ning here about stuff we can't control!
Word:
Yah, dar is a give-away, as are the sector bars. But, looking at it from an old sneaky scenario commander's POV, I see those facts as challenges and believe I can still make and execute plans that in some ways reduce and negate an enema spy's ability to detect me. Anticipate the enema's reaction to indicators like this and do the unexpected (ie, make feints then veer toward unexpected targets). Hide your raids by riding just inside the sector lines of already occupied sectors, use the sector boundaries smartly. Run ops in conjunction with other squads, having them mount direct fighter assaults on targets away from your raid, designed to hit just as you're launching and thus divert attention from you. Put a group of planes ahead of your NOE group at high alt, draw enema away from your main raid flight path.
THINK! Its a true pleasure to be smarter than low-lifes, and beat them in smart ways
