There I was just trying to do my job, and them party pooper destroyers dumped a bunch of depth charges on me. So now I got the repair party working overtime, get the bulkheads patched up while running the motors at full speed and blowing ballast when she starts sinking too deep, tediously alternating between trying to avoid going too deep or broaching over and over and over and over. All bulkheads fixed, still doing the porpoising act over and over and over, why ain't that blasted pump emptying the water now that everything is patched up?

Tiresome to say the least, so I started hunting for where exactly is the efficiency of the main pump so I can at least double it? No luck, not mentioned in the SIM or DAT files anywhere I can find. zones.cfg maybe;

[PumpsXXI]
Multiplier=1.000000
Flotability=0.000000
HitPoints=2600
Destructible=No
Armor Level=10
Critic Flotation=0.300000
Critical=No
Father=30
FloodingTime=59.999996
CargoType=None

Near as I can tell nothing in that has adjustments for how fast it empties the flood, no gallons per minute or anything obvious. Anyone got any ideas where I might increase the power of the bailing pump?
