Title: how about a change to the way ports/cv's work
Post by: GlassJaw on April 20, 2008, 04:15:06 PM

We could make CV's spawn at a set intervals from ports.  This could be configurable, ie the first one after 15 mins, the 2nd after an hour, the third after two more hours 4th after 3 more hours, etc.  or it might be as simple as one per hour.   So a single port could spawn more than one cv (max number would be configurable and might be set at 1 for some areanas).  If an enemy took control of a cv, it would not prevent the port from spawning another. 

Thoughts?

Actually seems pretty reasonable.  :aok

Makes sense, but first, they need different type of carriers and carrier groups.

It would probably require a pretty significant rewrite of many of the game's fundamental structures - During the design of each terrain, the TG's are each assigned to a port on a 1 to 1 basis as part of the design of each terrain, and each has to be placed (in other words, the objects are preexisting as part of the terrain) and in fact each TG needs to be assigned a map room in order to behave as a "field".

So no matter how great an idea it might or might not be, it would be my guess that it would likely require a tremendous amount of programmer's time to even make it possible.
