Hello Jimbuna, I just realized you are the creator. Thank you for your replys. Maybe because I have not seen 1 yet is because I do not have this installed correctly, I am using Stock 1.4B and V16B1 and a few other mods. I notice your readme files refers to GWX only, maybe the GWX campaign has been edited to use your Q Ships only? Hope not.

Looking at my stock 1.4b EnglishNames I added SCF=Small Coastal Freighter at the bottom.

So what you are saying is that there is already a Small Coastal Freighter in my Stock 1.4b game and that each time the game creates 1 or decides to let me run into 1 there is a 25 percent chance it will be a Q ship, okay this makes since.

I thought when the game creates a patrol in campaign it scatters 100's of ships out on the Ocean, I wanted there to always beat least 1 Q ship somewhere out on the Ocean on every patrol. Hence my logic of using 100% so I am guaranteed at least 1 somewhere on the map.

So what you are saying that each time I run into a Small Coastal Freighter, then the campaign game engine decides if it will be a Q ship or not by the 25% factor. If this is correct I understand the 25% setting then.

Thanks for your help, info and the mod!
