The "window" for assignments is rather small, some boats with maybe a total of 28 days or so between two sets of two weeks to be sent there, and those are generally off Kiska in the shipping lanes, or off Paramushiro, near the shipping lanes. Historically we've got about twice the level of traffic they had up there, and most skippers did not like trying to go up there, especially in light of the weather, magnetic field effects on the compass, ice floes, etc., with weeks between good navigational fixes. The Icebergs are in the game up there, but not too many of them, else a player would be ticked about being sunk while doing TC of anything above 32x and not using the external camera... the crew is rather odd about reporting their sightings, also...
so they were dialed back quite a bit... We might "open" the possibility a bit more then, for a larger chance of being assigned up there. Thanks.
