@LGN1: The algorithm for BDU responses to status report is as follows:
If ((Hull Integrity < 50%)
OR (Fuel < 33%)
OR (Torpedoes <= 4)) THEN
- with a chance of 50% a "Return to base" - Message is sent.
Otherwise:
If (Tonnage sunk < 0) THEN:
- with a chance of 75%: a warning ("sink no neutrals") is sent.
- with a chance of 25%: one of 8 random ear-candy messages is sent
If (Tonnage sunk = 0) THEN:
- with a chance of 50%: one of 4 random motivation messages (e.g. be more aggressive) is sent
- with a chance of 50%: one of 8 random ear-candy messages is sent
If ((Tonnage sunk > 0) AND No_Congratulation_so_far) THEN:
- with a chance of 75%: a congratulation according to tonnage is sent
- with a chance of 25%: one of 8 random ear-candy messages is sent
ELSE: one of 8 random ear-candy messages is sent
