What duties did the uboat captain do ?
 
What duties did the uboat captain do , daily tasks , routines etc ?

Annatar 09-05-09 07:22 PM

His "daily task" was to keep the boat and his men in one piece. So while he didn't load the eels, plot solutions, steer the boat, maintain the engines, or cook the food, it was his ultimate responsibility to make sure that all of these things happened. He decided when the boat dived, when it surfaced, when radio reports would be sent and when attacks were made.

So as a first person player in SH5 what duties should i be doing ?

Annatar 09-05-09 08:11 PM

Tasting the soup.

Your first duty will be ponying up $50.00 to $60.00 :haha:

What will we do?

--Stand around with our hands in our pockets during depth chargings and make wry jokes, maintaining our cool while everyone else loses theirs. And when one of them gets to far out of line? Pimpslap him with a Luger.

A true simulation of leadership. :arrgh!:

I just hope it won`t be 20 times a day running around a sub tapping everyone on the head what a great job are they doing to increase morale...

LiveGoat 09-05-09 08:55 PM

That was my initial fear as well. But I'm sure it'll be toggleable or adjustable. It better be, anyway. If we could make it like fatigue is handled in SH3 Commander (as an option) that would be cool. Dungeon Keeper in a sub would get old for me after awhile.

Should that be the end result your final action should be to disable it or use the option to go to your bunk :hmmm:

I like the idea of you sleeping... time skips forward until you wake up or are woken up by crew in a situation. That would be awesome.

Or combine that with the option to exit the game by sleeping.

Obviously tending to his flock of ladies that stay with him in the captains bunk. :rotfl:

Hey that's not a bad idea - kinda reminds me of Fable II, which lets you pass time by sleeping.

LiveGoat 09-06-09 09:03 AM

The sleep/time compression idea sounds cool. Maybe short dream sequences? About the war, loved ones, etc...

You're late :O:

About that captain's bed....
It would be nice to limit the TC to a low value and only allow time skiping when you click on the captain's bed. Time would pass as fast as your processor can handle it and you'd be woken up if:
- a certain number of hours has passed
- the sub has travelled X miles / the sub has reached the next nav point
- sun rise/set or a certain hour
And during this time, the sub would follow a customisable procedure such as:
- travel 30 miles
- dive to 30 meters and listen for enemy
- surface to recharge batteries
- snorkel travel
- make reports at X hours
etc. And while you "sleep" you'd still be able to walk around the sub in a floaty hazy camera and see people doing stuff (2x or 3x faster than normal).
