Shelling from CV's
« on: February 27, 2003, 06:32:52 AM »
Why dont you get any points for a good barrage from a Destroyer in the CV group ?

Also i took control of a cv so i could turn it and continue attacking a base, i pressed clear points and the cv popped back to port !!! ?  does anyone know what happened ?  is it a bug ?

While you were pounding the base, presumably enemies were also pounding the fleet?  :D  Then, by coincidence, the last ship was sunk as you cleared the waypoints, and it went back to the port?

I think the taskgroup was still intact, and only under light attacks...  i was in the tower when it happened and the cv was still there.  It was weird, im sure most if not all the boats were still there.

Had the flagship been sunk already (that's the CV in the standard CV Task Group in the MA)?  The moment the flagship is sunk, a timer begins counting.  The remaining ships in the fleet disappear and respawn in port when the timer expires.  In the MA, I believe the timer duration is 10 minutes.  It is an arena variable that can be changed by anyone having server privelages in that arena, and can be set to expire anywhere from zero to 3600 minutes (up to six hours).  So, if your flagship had already bought the farm, you were living on barrowed time.

I hate "Kamakazi Fleet Commodores" like you. Just sayin.

p.s. Suiciding a fleet should cost the "fleet commodore" a 24 hour ban from commanding them or sumpin.
