A large renown penalty for calling rescue ships will also be implemented. Please note that the rescue ships will not come to your exact sub location. Rather, there will be a rendezvous meeting point close to each SoS trigger location. Since sub towing cannot be simulated in SH4, I feel this is the next best thing.
Sounds very cool. I have a moving refit that leaves Rabaul and goes down the slot and hides in a bay during the Invasion of Guadalcanal, but I never thought about the possibility of being able to call an SOS to get one. I will be very eager to see how you implemented this. Great thinking!!

The EvaluationReason on a normal mission is usually "First Objective" so I would assume this is the reason the mission took place, since yours says "Status Report", the reason the mission was generated.
As for exclusiveLayer, I thought it would be the only layer loaded, but I really do not know. Sorry I can't help on that one.

As for the docking icon, I have not found a setting for that one either.
