DT, that's great, but you can attempt to make it compatible yourself The plan is to make a plugin-enabled interface. This won't be directly the first version, but at at some point you can download some sort of SDK that lets you code a plugin. All you have to do is implement a few base classes and you're all set. Then you just drop your assembly into a specific plugin folder and voila. You can use VB.Net fine with it (you just reference the plugin-assembly). I'll make sure to set up some sample code by then.

Obviously, if there are problems I can help in making it work, or give suggestions to improve it. I don't code VB myself anymore, but I've done so for many years in the past

It would be very realistic since skippers read through the patrol reports of other boats learn the latest info on shipping routes, aircraft activity, ASW defenses, weather, etc.
Exactly Could also give the feeling you're hunting in a pack... The only worry is that with hundreds if not thousands of users (*cough*) you'd have way to much subs/skippers, so we have to think of a way to limit this to stay realistic. Don't know, maybe filtering by date as I suggested is enough, can't say now. Also, duplicate boat numbers/names are an issue.
