Option to depart from sub base
Hi,
Just curious - Is there a plan to eventuality give Wolfpack users the ability to depart from a base or port? |

Not at this time, all the effort is going toward getting a single player mode established, VOIP, and making the Scapa Flow mission. Have a "departing from the U-boat pen with waving girls and drunk commanders on shore leave would be pretty cool, but would not add much to the gameplay. In fact, I could see that a lot of players would start asking for a Skip button to bypass it after the 20th time
As with a lot of interesting potential features, we have limited manpower and we have to focus on core features. thanks! Neal

Hi Neal,
Thank you for reply. Sounds like you are describing me lol. But I rather be piloting a sub than waving from the shore. And the other part of your post reminded me of when uboats would leave from a base in Aces of The Deep. I use to play that game with my cousin when we were young teens. Seriously, though, I understand that there are other pressing matters for game development. I’m looking forward to seeing what you and your crew cook up for Scapa Flow. |

Welcome aboard!
caitlynjconklin!great question!but entering and departing a sub pen is an SH-V thing, and tedious as Onkel Neal points out...not to mention occasionally dangerous on those tight seawall apertures and shallow estuaries!

I also would like to see the option to run a complete mission, or even campaign, with start and finish at base, but that would require time compression and preferably the ability to save a game during the mission. So, after a while Wolfpack could perhaps have two main game modes: Multi-sub short "wolfpack" missions, as today. Single-sub, "persistent" longer missions (or even a full campaign) with save/load ability and time compression. |
