Title: New CV alert?
Post by: outbreak on December 20, 2008, 11:45:11 AM
well i know i havent played in awhile and wont be for another year or so thanks to college and crap but i thought about this in my offtime and it is something i would like to see,

When a person is able to Steer and command a CV Group i think that in the same panel as the buttons to control its heading and stuff are there should be a new button something like this:

::::::::::::::::::::::
: General Quarters :
::::::::::::::::::::::

That when AND ONLY WHEN there is a visible enemy within radar range of the ship the button can be pressed which inturn would send a Special color text over the chat in caps saying something like:

~CV*** GENERAL QUARTERS - MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS~

Anyway thats just my opinion as i think it would indeed save alot of ship from being sunk as it might actually catch someones attention as i know alot of people hate CAPS writers :).

Anyway have fun with the idea and see you on the fields hopefully within 7-8 months :(.

Its really not a bad idea but the fact that some moron might be commanding the CV and pressing the button again and again and again in a matter of, oh say, 2 seconds is a horrible idea.

I dont think anyone needs this:
SYSTEM:GENERAL QUARTERS
SYSTEM:GENERAL QUARTERS
SYSTEM:GENERAL QUARTERS
SYSTEM:GENERAL QUARTERS
SYSTEM:GENERAL QUARTERS
SYSTEM:GENERAL QUARTERS

Until the country chat is fully covered in stupidity of one person.

NO to this idea unless you can think of a way to make it anti-idiot device or Moronic Imbecile Proof.

Well country changing has a time limit, could put the timer on how often you can click the "General Quarters" button.  Maybe only once per minute; if need be, once per minute per CV (so as to not allow 10 people hitting it).

May not be fully idiot proof, but it would be mostly.

exactly just put a flood limit on it say it can only be pressed 1 time every 45 Seconds for a MAX of 3 Times for one Commander.
