Thanks neal. At least you didn't close this thread. I posted the same question on the UBI forums and they canned my question.

This is the last game I will ever by from UBI.. Sorry but if your going to delete post on the Official Forums with a legit question. Then I'm done.

Looks like it will be up to the modders to actually fix this game. UBI too busy doing damage control to actually care.

Malkuth so you were able to dock (not a Kiel) before completing the 2nd mission? Just want to make sure this is what you did.

Yes sir, My new base is at Brenan. The only reason I new this was when I looked I saw a SUB symbol over the Brenan base. So I went there and I was able to end my mission finally.

Thank god too. Think the cook was sharpening his knives... And we were all out of meat.

After you complete your coastal patrol, send a status report. I betcha it says return to base, and then you're dock-able.

I noticed there are 'upgrades' for the 'radio-guy' that have to do with being able to send out status reports at longer and longer ranges, as well as 'safe transmissions' whatever that means. I'm assuming that the status report now has an actual usage in the game.

Yeah I did that... No they wanted me too actually continue my patrol....

No idea if that sub symbol appeared after I sent the report or not.. I did that awhile ago... So I don't know if they are connected to be honest. My next partol if I can stomach it... I will see.

Are you sure it was deleted? Maybe it was merged into a "How do I..."
thread. It does not make any sense to delete your question, because it is certainly a fair complaint, and you worded it well. I'm impressed with the great level of support other guys here have posted, you would think Ubisoft would be helping with this kind of support in their forum, not ignoring it. I mean, if the game has issues, then Ubisoft should man up to it and say "the game has issues, we will try to help you with it."

I've had this problem, too. I finished a patrol and sailed back to Kiel, ending up right on top of the home base icon. For me, it seemed that there was a bug that caused the 'status' icons at the top of the screen to disappear. I had to save and reload in order for the 'dock' icon to show up.

I've found that this happens with a lot of things. The game doesn't seem to handle TC very well.

This kind of thread just shows how much of a joke the manual is.
