Distant patrols.....

Slick Rick · 01-05-07, 08:14 AM

I have noticed that when I get assigned a patrol area like GR 56....down by Capetown.....that when I stop to fuel up I lose my orders ....Do I still get the renown for going down there anyway??

No, you won't.

However, if you use SH3Cmdr then, while you're in port refuelling, you can exit SH3 and put in a new/same patrol grid.

I see.....well even though I am in a type IXC.....making Capetown without refueling is a challenge in itself....I like to use flank speed a lot though

Waste of gas. Full speed is more fuel efficient and almost as quick if you want to go fast over long distances.

Actually, if you do about 9 kts down to Capetown, you should have no fuel issues and most likely will see more ships along the way.

I know.....but I get impatient easily.....

If you make it down to Capetown and do your 24hrs in the grid.....and then stop to refuel...wont you lose your renown then also?? Or does the game credit you the renown then......

You should get the renown for reaching the patrol grid only

If you do your 24hrs then stop for fuel the game treats it as if it is the end of your patrol. Renown & medals are awarded.
