Home port wherever

[Sniper297]

Reading some non fiction as well as fiction, I noticed it was common practice for a WWII fleet boat to leave Pearl, patrol an area, then go to Brisbane instead of returning to Pearl. Or get orders in Brisbane to patrol the Marianas and go to Pearl instead of returning to Australia - then get a radio message ordering a turnaround at Midway instead, canceling the previous order to return to Pearl.

Has anyone looked into changing the flotilla transfer protocol in the game to allow all bases to be "home port", so you have the option of ending the patrol at any base? As it currently stands you have one and only one home port, and you need to be there a minimum number of months and patrols (6 months, 3 patrols in the basic.cfg file) before you can request a transfer.

I don't know which files would need to be changed but I would like the option to transfer at whim simply by going into any base and selecting end patrol.
