View Full Version : Base Change While @ Sea

Did a search for this and did not find any references to Majuro.

On my most recent patrol, which went WAY longer than I planned (like almost 6 months) due to fuel issues, I was informed during transit back to Midway that my base (in fact ALL Midway boats) was changed to Majuro Island. Fine.

Went there but it appeared to still be held by the Japanese. Headed back to Midway to dock and was unable to due to the base change. Can't dock at Majuro because it isn't a base.

The only base with an icon indicating that I can dock is Midway and it does not allow docking. I even bathed today. Maybe it's my naturally grumpy personna.

Great patrol, too. Hate to lose this one...

Any advice here would help a lot.

I'm afraid you might have to start the patrol over again. Sometimes this happens because the docking ability and the enemy ships spawning conflict with each other, sometimes happens with the Manila-Surabaya-Fremantle sequence as well. Try starting the patrol from before you got the message and see if that changes it.

Did have this the other day, when base was changed from Surabaya to freemantle sailed into Surabaya and nothing there although the anchor was still there it wouldn't allow me to do anything. Hung around for a while then the anchor pops up in Freemantle. Don't know if it wil with yours though :cry:

Thanks for your help. I suppose I can refit at Midway and fart around until I get switched to Saipan. I did notice that Tarawa never turned blue as well.:nope:
