This is a simple idea. Make an area which is not currently used an unlimited war. What I mean is when a player joins the area in one of the rooms he automatically goes into battle. The server would be the room host and the battle would never end.
There could be a whole fleet of SS, BB, CV, CA, CL, DD, and FF that are constantly being run by the server (NPC ships) but unlike other mission NPCs these ships would have the combative power of the player ships. They would launch DB, TB, fighters and carry the same ammo and guns of player ships except that the NPC ships would have unlimited ammo and planes but not unlimited armor or damage. They could be sunk.
Of course the map would have to be made larger to make up for players joining and having a chance to get ready for battle but players who join this war room would get more experience, points & credits for the longer they survived in it. The Bravo side would be the NPC controlled server ships and Alpha for the joining players. When an NPC ship gets sunk, a new NPC ship of the same class would respawn on the Bravo side thus keeping the game running.
There could be 3 types of rooms in this area.
Bronze Room - FF, DD, CL, & SS only with only FF, DD, CL, & SS NPC ships. Silver Room - CA, CV, BB only with only CA, CV, BB NPC ships. Gold Room - FF, DD, CL, CA, CV, BB, SS
The NPC compliment of the rooms would depend on the amount of players in that room. At the least there would be 2 of each type in the room per player. The maximum amount of players that could join a room would be the equivalent of Fleet Size.
These rooms could be used by fleets and squads to train their members to fight together and work as one. But you could go into the room by yourself just to better your fighting tactics.
When a player does die, they would be sent to the normal battle report screen and then onto the shipyard where they could repair and rearm before rejoining the battle.
