I could have been run over, but it's NEVER happened to me before .

What really got me ....the CTD's when trying to reload the game. That hasn't happened since I first started playing unmodded, unpatched SH4 stock.

I was kinda hoping someone would pipe in with "don't do _________. It crashes the game.....EVERYBODY knows that!!!"

Using mods is like having 5 wives. You need to learn each one specifically, but then how to deal with them all together. The problem is they may say they have no problems with the other wives, but put them all under one roof and all hell breaks loose.

Still, I run about 16 mods and haven't had a issue in years. TMO and RSRD are very stable mods, I think any problems with CTD's arise from still stock issues or just peoples different specs and software.

Almost alway friendly ships will steer away or try to avoid you, however at high TC often that doesn't give them enough time to react. There are a few escorts that patrol Brisbane that I have ran into. Yep, the game will auto slow TC when you come in contact, but many up it back after each contact and bam. One of my best patrols, over 200K, I came into Brisbane and got the contact for that escort and game slowed. I increased it to about 500 to hurry to dock, figured no way I would run into it, BAM...sunk, barely had enough time to hit the cam to see my sub stuck into the DD.

If you use TC near ports, use only enough so you can view your contacts.
