Time compression and finding ships

Whippy · 08-18-10, 10:36 AM

Hi folks,

Is there a way to make SHIV display the "Ship Spotted - what do you want to do?" menu and/or reset time compression to 1x when you come across a sound contact or visual sighting of a friendly or neutral ship?

The way the game currently works, when I am cruising along at high time compression and the menu comes up, I KNOW it is an enemy ship, making it pointless for me to get close to identify it. If time compression slows to 1x (or 8x, I forget) due to a sound contact, then I also know it is enemy because the time does not change for friendly ships. If this menu appeared for EVERY sighting or sound contact, this would be more fun because then I would need to identify the flag or use common sense to decide if the ship is enemy or not.

Is there a way to change this?
