Right there is one problem... you don't plow through fog at high TC if you
know something is out there.
When you are playing at x128, 2 seconds of "real" time is 00:04:16 of "game" time. At 8 knots, your boat can move 0.56 nautical miles in those two seconds. Your crew (well, really, the AI) does not have time to inform you if you find something in the fog.
If you are looking for a freighter in a fog bank, you do it at TCx1 at about 3 knots.
Also, you hump your own keister up to the UZO and do the lookout... you will
always see better than even an elite crew once you learn what to look for.
