I just can't figure out why...

I find that D dives just as fast a C. Also on my rig if I use C the crew never stops yelling commands.

I do like how Crash Dive has an auto level at a preset depth...but

Well doesent it also offer an 'engage' option too?

Thats not too smart either

Crash dive, set depth for 120' every time. Otherwise, you sleep with the fishes. It's been my ship's standing orders since RuB.

I usually select "maintain current orders" as the default reaction to that annoying screen so that, at least, it won't pop up anymore. Then the next time I get a "plane spotted" or whatever it's up to me to react and take the appropriate action.

The other annoying thing about the "always take this action" pop-up is that there's no way to "undo" it if you want to cancel/change the default action.

Sure there is... start a new carrer... not that I .. well uhh... yea been there done that.

Wow... that's kinda nasty. I didn't realize that if you set "engage target" as the standard response there's no way to undo it w/o starting a new career.

So I roll up on a convoy and the crew just starts firing away?

Yes, it's a nasty screen that's all negative and no positive there at all. Set your default at maintain current orders and forget you ever saw it.

Perhaps not smart... but on occasion I have actually chose to duke it out with the AA. Can't say that I've ever decided to dive and watch the attack thru the ob scope though.

Ehh... it's just a nit. There are definitely larger fish to fry when it comes to making improvements and/or investing modder time.
