Another problem is that naming the lighthouses garbles up the higher zoom levels with text that is too close to each other - "Brest" would be partly covered by the lighthouse names. |
Hi sublynx,
that's exactly the idea I mentioned in my post above. If you use a neutral, e.g., Spanish, base you cannot dock there. To shorten the text you could abbreviate 'lighthouse', e.g., by 'LH'.
Using this method in my personal setup, I have marked an 'Entrance Point' for each base on the map. It's the most distant point where the harbor patrol passes. When returning to my home base, I wait there until the harbor patrol passes and follow the ship into the harbor (to spice things up I have put a random mine-field between this point and the bunker
This forces me to follow the escort closely (in the shadow) and guarantees a thrilling return to the base. Now the last few km to the base are dangerous as it was historically).
