Very intriguing! Usually when someone talks about their 1x patrols as being more realistic, I can come up with several reasons why that's just not true: work, shopping, anything that takes you away from the computer makes it unrealistic.
Your summation casts a whole new light on the subject. The waiting, the hunger for just a radio message, time spent on the bridge acting as your own lookout - these things make it sound much more attractive, and much more reasonable. I don't know if I'll ever be in a position to do it myself, but I'm actually looking forward to your next report.

It's easy to forget that in the stock game it was on the Navigator panel. A clever modder moved it so you could no longer get a weather report while 100 meters underwater.
