Long Transit Times in SHIV
In my original post, I wished for between battle things to do in SHIV, primarily for realism but also to not sit and watch a screen for so long.
There should be options once you set a course, like setting watch assignments. Depending on time of day, sitting in the officers mess to go over tactics with XO, etc. An example is you call a meeting in the mess, your officers arrive. A list of strategic options comes up such as setting speed, ride submerged during day, schedule a practice alarm dive, give XO the helm, load a specific configuration of torpedoes, possible radio messages, etc.. Im sure they could find more interesting things, I am just giving a concept.
After those options are set, the captain can retire to his cabin, shower up, go to bed and give command not to disturb for X hours, unleess a sighting or urgent message or problem arises. Essentially you could "sleep" and boat will transition X hours without delay, unless a sighting, etc. is made.
