"press the "b" button to secure from battlestations", hee-hee, I DID read the PDF manual, thought I had everything I needed to know memorized, mind like a steel trap.
Guess I oughtta splurge on some new printer cartridges so I can print the keycards, hey?
Did that "ran out of gas" thing myself on the first patrol with realistic limitations, didn't know I had to refuel at Midway. Sent a status report, but waited for a tugboat in vain, guess your only option is to sit there and be out of fuel.
Someone in another thread mentioned using the navigator or something to get a guesstimate on how much range at current speed, can't find that one? Only thing I get is estimated time to last waypoint, no fuel consumption estimates.
