I think randomization mid patrol is the way to go then, I was never comfortable with being stuck with one file for the entire patrol as a "Thermal" could be found at different depths at different locations or not at all - random
I think this also has to be applied to the Sabotage/Malfunction component as well(if it gets that far) Random function needs to take into account the ability for change at different stages of a given patrol for the good as well as the bad.

Another note-since we're crossing over between the Thermal thread and the Sabotage thread should we start a fresh post labelled "Random"or continue only on one of these?
