Why don't refits take time?

I guess in the grand scheme of things - i.e. most people whizzing across the Pacific on accelerated time and compressing it to a few minutes - the few hours that a refit would take (or more correctly re-arm and refuel) doesn't really matter that much.

Unless you could simulate half a day's liberty for your crew and give em some fun and a morale boost

Come to think of it, you could do that, just pause the sim at the port, go out, get hammered on Jack Daniels, oh, and make sure a cab driver overcharges you for the trip to the bar, then go and pick up a dose of the clap. You could also simulate trying to sneak some booze onto your sub by buying something ridiculously expensive (say the latest graphics card, or a nitrous kit for your car etc) and trying to sneak it in the house past your wife/girlfriend. If she catches you, it will further add to the realism, as you will probably be forced to paint or repair something around the house as a punishment.
