How do I find my home port?

Platapus · 02-20-09, 11:56 PM

This is a bizarre situation.

Playing 1.5+ RFB

Completed my patrol. Made the mistake of traveling all the way to Pearl when my base was Brisbane (I had just gotten transfered)

When I got close to Pearl, I was given the option of refueling but not ending the patrol (duh, Pearl is not my home port!)

Traveled all the way to Brisbane. But when I got close to Brisbane, I also only have the option of refueling but not ending the patrol.

Verified that all Mission Objectives are marked Complete.

I reread all the messages to see if I had been reassigned to another port but no such messages.

1. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

2. Is there a way I can find out what the computer thinks is my home port?

My men are getting a bit ansy.

Allied bases are represented by an anchor. Look for the one that is tilted. That's your home port. Fulfilling objectives has nothing to with returning to port except for the amount of renown you receive....CH

Yeah...tilted and also look for the rope. Cuz there's a rope tied around your home ports anchor.

Coolhand and Runningdeer thanks for the info.

I never noticed the change of icon for the home port. Much thanks for pointing that out.

Now I have to find out how the hell did I suddenly get transfered to Freemantle? Who did I piss off?

But at least I can end my patrol

Much thanks again

I have also wondered how to tell what my home port is sometimes

Never noticed the changes you mentioned, thanks for pointing this out.
