"Depending on the setting of the EMCON AT MISSION STARTUP option in the Game Options screen, your platforms’ radars are ON or OFF at the start of your mission. Be sure to visit the Game Options screen before starting your mission. If you start a mission in Emissions Control (EMCON) status, all of your platforms with the exception of airborne platforms have all sensors OFF. If you turn the EMCON AT MISSION STARTUP option OFF, all platforms begin the mission with radars ON."

At game exit you can lose sync if not set to OFF an upon restart units can change course to track.

Question 15: In the cinematic subsim thriller Silent Steel, at the beginning of the game as the CO gets his coffee in the mess and makes his way to the control room, how does he address the sailor seated alone, reading a magazine?

Question 15a: When you click on the Subsim Trivia Question link at the top of the page, does it take you to the Subsim Trivia Question, or does it take you to here: http://blogs.defensenews.com/interce...-be-broken-up/

I don't know 15

But I do know 15a - do I still get entered for a prize? The answer is the second one, the defense blogspot site.

He was a shrimp-boat captain before joining the Navy.

Didn't Bubba in Forrest Gump come from a long line of shrimp cookers?

Damnit - the playthrough I watched had someone bring the message down to his bunk!

Onkel Neal · 01-29-13, 09:29 AM

Haha, different playthrough, eh? That was the beauty of that game. I'm gonna track down the Chief and XO for an article in the next Almanac.
