Keep your save game, give us time. SH3's been out 3 years. hehe, who knows what we'll have when SH4 has been out that long.
Seriously, I like the sound of this . . .hmmm . . .
How about this as an idea. The "mod" for this could be, an outside program that randomly determines what happens, whether your get towed home, rescued by an allied ship, or captured by the Japanese. This program would then edit the save game you pointed it at to either "kill you" if you were captured, retire you if you were court marshalled (dramatic failure), or relocate your vessel within 25 miles of the nearest port (or your home base, if that was all that could be read from the save file). We've got some tallented programers in this group. I think we could pull this off. At least after seeing some of the programs they've written, like SH3 Commander, and the SH4 Menu Maker.
So who's up for it?
