Yes, you can do that if you like. A lot of players do. In fact, with the stock game people often run into so many targets that they run out of torpedoes and never go to their grid anyway.

I, on the other hand, go to my grid and stay there. If I don't encounter any ships after a week, I use a dice-rolling system I developed myself to determine if BdU orders me to a new grid. I have had patrols where I saw no enemy ships at all. It happened in real life, and I've played subsims for so many years now that if it happens to me I kind of enjoy it. I also don't care about the renown because I don't use it for anything.

But that's just me.
