Forced retirement (merged)

Obviously, the retierment thing is not a bug. And actually after I figured otu it wasn;t, is a pretty good feature if the designers had spent some time fleshing it out.

It is very frustrating to simply be given a message that you are to be flung out of the navy without any real reason. I think it would have been a very respectable use of time by the devs to include a few more retierments senarios, like being sent on warbond tours, being promoted out of the boat, accidental death (car, plane accident, etc.), being sent away to train new skippers.

So yeah, the forced retierment is not a bug, but it is a problem. You should be presented with the option of staying with the boat; ie. you get a dialog box that says

"Command has ordered you be sent home to take a position at Annapolis."

and then you get options like

"Accept the position - The war needs you elsewhere." or "Call in a favor and stay with the boat - The thought of a class full of bright eyed freshmen gives you the willies"

Then of course be taking one option of the other you get differen't results for your "future" after the war.
