If you click the little box in the corner before selecting you will never see the message again.

And whichever option you chose in that instance will become the default response every time it happens again. So unless you always want to do the same thing in response to a particular contact/threat/etc., don't check it!

I always check it just to get it out of the way. Of course my default response is "Do Nothing".

I do the same, "Maintain Current Orders" is my default option.

But if someone wants that box to pop up every time (which I think is the OP's preference) then checking the "set as default" box is not the way to go.

Altho IIRC someone posted on this before and indicated that the game does not actually pause when the box pops up... I suppose it does drop out of TC though.

Waitaminute! TCing can corrupt your saves?! I didn't know that.

I dunno, I think maybe if you're hitting ESC to do a save while in high TC maybe it makes a difference? But OTOH I thought the game dropped to 0 TC and paused when you hit ESC.

Anyway I use TC (rarely over 128 though), but my SOP for making a save is to submerge first and check the phones for contacts, then surface and ask the WO if we have any visual contacts. I go to the bridge for that to have a look around myself and that drops me to 1 TC if I wasn't there already.
