Do either of these reduce the number of ships in the game? The reason I ask is I literally spent 30 days game time running search patterns up and down the Luzon Strait and found absolutely nothing.

Traffic is reduced because stock has too much. If you were seeing targets every day, it would be like playing a kids game; not challanging at all. With RSRDC, you should keep in mind shipping patterns will be changing as the war progresses. It is entirely possible to not see any targets for 30 days, in a particular area. There are strategies to searching, and just running around at cruising speed will not provide the best chance of finding targets.
