I feel your pain, I try not to use the echolot as an easy out when I'm in a tricky situation with the enemy nearby. But it's very tempting. I usually just solve the problem by not attacking in the presence (or likely presence) of warships unless I know I've got plenty of depth beneath my keel, i.e., not anywhere near enough the shore to be worried about hitting 'D' or 'C' and running into the seabed unexpectedly.

By the way, Valk, maybe I'm dense and don't get the reference, but, as much as I like wombats (piratical or otherwise), the joke seems to work better with a Beaver (something about peg legs and wood?). Or is that too nauti(cal)?

It had its origins (mostly) in
this thread, which was a response to things that were going on at the time in the General Topics forum. You kinda had to be there, lol. I may change it if something else strikes my fancy, or get rid of it entirely, or just leave it the way it is. Haven't really decided.
