Default 2 Questions I am Embarrassed To Ask

But I need to know...or at least want to...so here they are:

1. Where do you find your career's accumulated sunken tonnage? I looked in the Captain's log and found only individual events.

2. Where do you go to find out if you quailify for a newer class boat and then request one? Or could it be that with enough accumulated renown the fleet command will approach the Captain with a offer of a new boat?


TIA...and don't laugh...I'm an old man ...and not at all well...

1. Not sure--patrol logs may be it.
2. Command will offer you a new boat when it comes to that point in the game.

I'm old too.

Little blackboard next to the large map in your office. It lists "top-scores" / aces. (doesn't highlight anymore in 1.4)

Don't be embarrassed -- we all struggle getting into a new game.

1. Only in port -- as stated, to the left side of the map, click on the clipboard on the wall.

2. Only in port -- you will be given the offer.

As for being old -- join the club! But there are advantages:
1. Everything I buy comes with a lifetime guarentee! &
2. I was told as a child to respect my elders, now I don't have to respect anyone!

Getting a new boat depends on that Boat's date of commissioning and a specific amount of Renown you need (Very specific, not sure about the exact values)

Don't be embarrassed, I didn't know what causes new commands until a while ago...

:rotfl:
Excellent!

Another advantage: I now have an excuse for not being able to do the things I never could do anyway.

With old age (hopefully) comes good judgement.
Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience is the result of bad judgement.
