Returning to base

You mean using the teleporter?

Mau,

I like to return to base because I like the full immersion experience. There is nothing like it (if you have the imagination and time to indulge). I enjoy coming into port at night when I can be on the sail and give the commands to make into the inner harbor and find a pen to slip in. The patrol is done with a well executed docking and that to me is gratifying ( I wonder if anyone else will concur? ).

Nope one gets no reward. BUT with that said if there was a mod with pennants that pooped up for the claims that would be very desirable so one can take pictures of one's boat for bragging rights!!

I agree yep. Whilest there isn't an actual reward, but there's something about returning to the exact place I left from six weeks ago. A few minutes to reflect on what changed since I left, ships sunk, captains log, crew lost, beards grown.

I like the full circle thing, ending where it began each patrol with some new experiences in between.

For me, it depends on how much gas I have left, and what my schedule is like. If I have freetime to kill, I'll read a book while taking the return journey to the sub pen.

also, you sound cooler if you return from a 60 day patrol and not a 6 day patrol.

Very well said. I will have to remember that one! The closest I came to this sim's experience was a trip up the Thames in Groton Ct to the New London base at night. Tres' cool (18 degrees out in Feb.)

Love to return to port and enjoy the view.
