The idea is to use those ships to practice your skills and then "teleport" back to base when the time comes, and thus avoid coming in range of any firepower emanating from Pillau.
Or if you don't feel the need to practice, you can do what I do when starting out of Königsberg - sail around your designated patrol grid until you get orders to return, attack no one, then sail back and keep the extra renown you were given as compensation for what you would've lost had you sunk those neutral vessels.  |
My apologies, frau Kaleun Valkyrie - I responded without seeing you had already done so. Did not intend to step on your excellent reply. I MUST go get my coffee!
