problem in career

OK, basic question. After a patrol, when in your home port, how do you finish patrols? I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

ESC> Exit Patrol. A new screen will pop up and in the lower right corner is: Dock at XXXX. Click on that.

Press escape, exit patrol and dock in the port you're at. You need to be within about 13? miles I think.

edit: bah, too slow

ROFL I had to go back and put the docking in the correct corner.

I read somewhere you get extra (100) reknown for returning to base, is this dependant on you being about 13km's within (Your starting bases) its radius and then docking? Because I generally exit my patrol once I've run out of ammo, usually several thousand km's away from my base.

I tried that, and it said I never finished the patrol, but OK.

Yes, Dallass, that is correct. When you get to within about 10 Km of a port, the option to "Dock at: XXXX" will replace the "Return to base" option. If you dock at the port your orders say to end your patrol at, you earn a little bonus renown. I say dock where your orders say to because if you play through the campaign in a Flotilla that moves, you'll eventually get a mission to leave A and dock at B.

Another question about ports. Can you pull into another port during a patrol and restock supplies (torps)?

Thanks

Quillan · 02-20-06, 11:52 PM

Yes, but....

it counts as ending the patrol. Your next mission will be to return to your home port, so don't bother doing this. Run till you're out of torps, then return home.
