It soon be back in play then..


if it cost perks, why not allow a squad or individual to "buy" their own CV and run it in the manner they see fit. A squadron that purchased a CV would have a major incentive to use it properly and defend it properly.

I would think that a port once captured should be able to build a new CV regardless of the status of the old CV. If a country has captured the carrier they own it until it dies. Just allow the country that takes the port to build a new one. I dont think we could have too many carriers could we  :)

 Oh, I considered that but decided against it
 here in the forums.

 I DID, however, announce the perps ID on Channel 1
 and broadcast to the Rooks ( former port owners )
 the current location of the TG and indicated
 to them that I would supply new location info
 when they regained ownership of the port.

 At the time, the person who had apparently taken command of TG 20
 was not answering any private radio comms
 nor did he appear to be at the keyboard.
 He was the highest ranking Knight online,
 such as it was, thus there was nothing
 any Knight could do to take command.

 At some point he either logged or got dumped
 and I took command and set a course to bring
 the TG back on the map.

 When I finally logged it was steaming in harms way,
 as all good TG's should  :)

Wow Krusher! I like that idea! Squad perk points to buy your own carrier.Of course, it would probably cost 2500 to 5000 perk points, but it would be a nice feature to have for those who want to use the carrier to launch attacks from, not as a beachhead landing craft.

The semantics of whether it's cheating or gaming the game don't change the fact that it's a wussy thing to do in this game.  To quote Gomez Addams... "Dirty pool, old man."

Be assured, if the Knights ever do this and I'm online it will be broadcast on Ch1.

Can't it be made that the CV cannot leave the map?  Guess that's the easiest solution?  Or disable rank authority of the CV as soon as it leaves the map....

Take the cv off map and it EXPLODES!!!!
Problem solved. Of course it would mean that HTC would have to make a change in game play.

I like that!  Perhaps they could just make it so that anything that is taken off map, be it a CV or plane, etc... will show up as a dot on radar.

Obviously, you haven't seen the current state of his pinball machine.  Too bad he's an FDB... or he'd have it fixed by now.

Personally speaking,I dont think anyone should be able to change countries whenever they want,in other words,pick yer country and stick with it,andone wanting to change countries should mail support or something and put the request in that way.I think this would solve all this stuff.

Gyp, theres a network of veteran players that inform each other of the location of said CV's so that it will help curb this sort of gameplay.  Join the club. If I had been online during this time, I would have immediateley reported the position of the CV to the enemy, or taken control back into the map...this is what I logged on to see last week:

 

Next time, either re-direct the CV back onto the map, or give the enemy its coordinates, since HTC hasn't coded anything yet to prevent this, we have to take the matter into our own hands.

That's interesting Rip. I notice the rooks are in control of the northern region, which is where Bishops were last week. Must be an old screenshot.  ;)

Broadcasting the location on open channel, or in private, should carry the penalty of death (for the crime of espionage). So, you network of 'veterans' should all be put to death.   :p
