"Beam me up, Scotty" in GW...

Hi,
I am playing the GW mod and yesterday tried to dock with Bassel ship. After a quite succesfull patroll I gained promotions and medals but didn't give them to anybody - I wanted to do it after I get back to Kiel. However, after I got there with even more "kills", it turned out that the awards are gone! All of them!!!

I loaded the previous game (the moment I was docked with Bassel) and distributed the medals and awards to the crew. When I set to sea again, I found myself back in Kiel (although the "briefing" was saying clearly I'm to set out from Bassel and dock at Kiel, with no grid to patrol...)

Is there a way both not to get "teleported" do the homebase everytime I dock with Bassel and not to loose all the awards from a patrol???
Will the same thing happen when I dock wit a milkcow???

I have docked at the supply ships\milchcows loads of times and always started at the supply ship\milchcow
The only think I can think of is that when it was time for you to restart your patrol the Bessel was no longer there

How many days were you in port at the Bessel ?
With SH3commander 2.6 it recognises the you are at a milkcow\supply ship and sets days to 1 otherwise you will be there for 28 days unless you changed your basic.cfg before sailing

Shoot :/ I'm in the middle of a campaign and starting to use Uboot Commander may "damage" my saves...

Anyway, I am sure that the Bessel is still available when I leave her (I spent there only one day...). In my opinion it is the "distribution of medals and awards" that causes this bug...
Anything else???

Maybe
Not used that function as I normally try to visit the resupply\milchcow on the way to patrol area just to refuel
Besides you can dish out medals\awards with SH3commander as well so if I do get some I wait till I use that and give them out
They wouldnt have been given medal in RL at a resupply anyway

I know that. That was the reason I waited to give them after I get back.. Unfortunately, they were gone (the game "thinks" that after undocking from the Bessel it is a different patrol mission)... They (the awards etc.) were sort of "stuck" in between the patrols and there was no way to get to them...

With SH3 commander you can give all your crews every medal and qualification on the second patrol if you want
Yes the game thinks its another patrol - nothing can be done about that as it was another part of the game left by the devs

Thats why I said I refuel BEFORE going onto my patrol grid as my crew haven't earned anything yet
Anything they earn after that docking is given out as usual in home port
If my crew do earn medals before I use resupply then they miss out
Not the end of the world
Rather be without a few medals than stuck in the Atlantik with no fuel
