It sounds to me like it's best to refit on the way back from patrol for any needed fuel and repairs. SH3 has the Esc/End Patrol feature though, so what is the incentive to refit I wonder?

Using a Milk Cow or Neutral Port is a 'double edged sword' in any version of SH3 that has them.
You do not loose the renown for reaching your patrol grid or completing your 24hr BUT you will not get the renown for
manually returning to base.(which you're not getting anyway if you warp back)
Now, I thought that if you were using SH3Cmdr and were docked at a milk cow/port then you can exit SH3 and set a new Patrol Grid in SH3Cmdr's menu and then carry on.:hmm: Maybe you still get a NULL grid after doing that anyway, can't remember.
The incentive to use a milk cow/port to refit,refuel & reload is for the players who conduct long patrols and play at 100%, ever tried making it to the US or even Capetown in a Type 7? Not only that but it's historically correct, they were there in the war, why not in the game.
