Find a mod or edit the file to reduce them.

Could it work? It should. It was pretty standard practice during the war.

I watch the contact, and if it is entering the defined area, he will pass within 6nm of my boat, and I pull the plug. If he doesn't enter that area, he's too far away to see me, and I sail on, and wait for him to return.
