I've been messing with the hydrophones station and I added an extra line in the OrdersBar file so that hydrophone buttons are greyed out when on the surface. I figured that players would want to know when the buttons were actually useful and I figured it would be an extra clue to let the player know whether he was surfaced or submerged (sometimes the depth indicator is hard to see - at least for my eyes). Does that sound good to others or not? I'm in two minds about it as it means we wouldn't get the 'no contacts' message when we try to use it on the surface.
