CV's not being used in the game.......

[Dadsguns]

I find it pretty lame that someone would steal cv's and place them 8 sectors away in the corner of a map as some trophy of their dweebness and not using them for a fight. 

HT, when a horde monsters over and takes ports for the mere fact of stealing a CV to keep it from being used against them, it "prevent a fight", then its against everything this game is for.   
These cv's are not being taken under the noses of when its peak time, but during off peak hours.  By the time the peak crowd gets on, there are no cv's to be found. 

You cant expect any of the higher rank players to do anything about it because they are part of the problem as well.  So if the player base is not policing dweeb behavior, who is?

What options do you have for this, if at all?

I think that would create more whines than anything.

We are? Explain...

We are? Explain...

Not we but specifically the CV admirals...  top ranked in score type players taking control of the cv and keeping someone that may be trying to do the right thing and put it back into a fight but may have a lower rank and prevented from doing so.

We have owned the ports they belong too all day, not once did they have any control of it, but the cv for them were 15 sectors from the original base they were from, hiding and not being used.

Do away with water maps with CV's in them.  Or make the CV controlled by AI (or 80's vintage video game patterns).

I agree with you Dad.  It's a tool to be used for fighting.  Hide it?  We might as well all join the Devil's Retards now.

It would be neat if a country could not "own" more CV's than it has ports. Basically once a port has been captured its CV re spawns to its origin port  after say 60 minutes.  We could consider that the CV was "scuttled" and the origin port had made a new fleet.

How about just spawning a new CV group after 60 minutes...and the original can still stay hidden.  Then we could have 50 CV groups sailing around, since ports seem to change owners more often than some of those CV-hiders change their panties.

There's always the question of hiding assets vs using them. Some people think they need to preserve CV's at all costs but let's face it, if you have the port and it's not under threat, there's no point in hiding the boat.  It respawns pretty quickly.  I say use em.

If you know it's going on and you choose to not intervene, then you endorse it.   I can understand where Way's coming from, as two squads in Rookland would do this religiously.   All the while the majority of Rookland would berate them on Country Channel, but to no avail.   They declared themselves Oberbefehlshaber der Rookland.

If you don't use a captured CV, it is NOT an "asset".   I find this to be the common reply from the Oberbefehlshaber's who do this.   But by hiding it, it is a wasted resource.   If you can get a base and it's sunk, big deal, it didn't cost you anything.   If you hide it, you might as well give it back.

Something like this would be a good idea.

As a new player its been much harder to find a fight lately. The absence of CV's I am sure is a reason for this.
I find myself getting bored with an inability to find a decent battle.
As a CO of a squad that transitioned over from FA we are loosing members to a lack of action in the MA.
We brought 30+ people to AH, some subs will be dropping off this month.

Those that are hiding CV's are hurting the game.

Just my humble opinion

When I 1st logged on last night, I noticed the CVs (2) Waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the bottom of the map.
Also noted an enemy dar bar in the lower sectors obviously husnting them down.
1st thing I did was up from a somewhat nearby base to hunt him! Found him, crashed into him by accident and apologized on 200.
We both laughed about it. A little while later a set of Ars were seen in the area.
I thought it was more than a little ridiculous to have 2 Cvs so far away from the action that they were effectivly out of the game.

I tried to move them up a couple sectors.
Apparently that didn't sit too well with a couple dweebs from the 91st. They kept changing the course back.
They wound up commandeering both,so no one could change course anymore.
Later on I noticed one of them had logged off, and I tried to move them again.
That didn't set too well with one of the Jokers. He went so far as to  get on my Vox channel and call me names and tell me to get some "skills" etc.
I gave up.
These guys were making like i wanted to move the Cvs up to an enemy base base or something.
My guess is they were teenagers with superiority compexes.
Unfortunatly there isn't much you can do about it. If anything, I would wish for an IQ test to be able to play this game.
But THATS another story!
