saving game gwx

I was wondering if you can save your game while in combat with a warship or can you save your game with a merchant ship present. I am in combat with a destroyer right now but gotta leave for work soon

Unfortunately with SH3 it's a bad idea to save anywhere near anything at all, and it's a worse idea to save submerged. Sometimes it can be alright, but a lot of people have reported corrupted saves, saves not loading and other problems.

Many years ago I saved a game just before entering my home base. When I reloaded it all the ships in the harbor had lost their waypoints and were crashing into everything in sight. It was pretty funny and I did manage to end the patrol alright. When I loaded it again they were still crashing, but I got out safely and the rest of the game was alright after that.

Do it if you have to, but don't be surprised if that's the end of it.

That is the safest way to do it.
