I was joking about both of them
There's a fine tradition in the infantry of fragging officers who are obviously going to get you killed, and I'm ashamed to say, that I've made a few tactical errors that would definitely have had me sleeping with one eye open. It was an amusing thought that if somebody wrote a Mutiny mod and I installed it, then I might well find myself seeing out the war on some mid Pacific atoll.
As for the fairy lights in the rigging idea, that was born out of my struggles to get a workable range estimate for a destroyer whose mast seemed to flicker in and out of vision. I thought it would be particularly convenient if a crewmember decided to climb up there with a torch at that exact moment, and an idea was born.
Speaking of which, since Modders, within the game at least, are basically Wizards - How about an "Invoke Obi-Wan" mod that makes Ducimus' avatar appear briefly in the control room, before floating over to the escorts ruining your day and saying "
This isn't the Submarine you're looking for....."
Just a thought............
