I was decks awash, 5 clicks behind the Tribal, and stationary. And anyway, he did not turn toward me, but back into the convoy. So he didn't hear me. No other escort was closer than 7500 and, again, they weren't coming for me.

Convoy did a course change 30 or so game minutes later, and the excitement seems to have died down from what I can make out. Just one of those mysteries, I guess.

Cap'n Crutch. Let's you find targets 18 clicks away -- in the dark.

I either need to go over to manual targeting or start losing 100 renown anytime I am even tempted to use it.
