No no
melnibonian, anyone on The True Dark Side knows of the Patrol_0.cfg. The simple way to right the wrongs of renown. But I would NEVER do anything like that
.
But in all seriousness, I've decided to take it as it comes in my current career. I'm currently on my 4th patrol in Jan 40'--decided to try doing the whole war for a change. I already have over 8000 renown and still nothing to spend it on--so I just get promoted and medals.
Though, starting a career from the beginning makes me think that the Devs possibly designed the renown system to function when starting a career in '39 and progressing from there. If you don't do that, the renown system becomes rediculous. In 44', you should get 10,000 renown for making it to your patrol gird and back to port in one piece.
Edit: ok, maybe not 10,000 renown, but more that 500.
Anyway, just my thoughts...
Cheers,
J
