Normally you would sail to within 30km of the friendly port and press the 'Esc' key then choose the optipn to end patrol at *******
So you can END a patrol at any friendly base and you still get MAX renown??

Why can't I jsut "REFUEL"

Also, how do I increase the time compression?

I need mroe than 1024x

Isn't there a file I can increase without downloading anything?
I have no internet at my house at the time, I thought I could go into the config files or something..

ANYHELP?

You will need the SH3commander 1.02 cfg

Below my sig

Unfortunately you cant just refuel in SH3
Stock SH3 you couldnt even use resupply\milkcows

Docking at a resupply or any friendly port will end your current patrol
You will start the next one with a NULL grid to get home

I wanted to know this the other day, starting at keil I just had enough fuel to get me to the mission grid with a few drops to spare, no, good, the refueling bit of SH3 is dog poo I'm afraid, I just restarted with no refuel limit. This is one of the places SH4 excels, easy refueling and refitting without breaking the mission.

Fastfed:
One thing I learned: check the amount of distance you will get with Slow and with 1/3 (get the navigator to give those distances to you). You may be surprised to find that the boat operates more efficiently at 1/3 than at slow and you'll get more distance at the faster speed. Also get used to going to periscope depth and run electric intermittantly with the diesels to save fuel.
As I recall putting in at another friendly port also costs you an additional month in time.
Don't I recall one can set the time compression in the Main.cfg or Basic.cfg file?
