Returning to Base is tantamount to a true sim

I would like a better orders system.. when both my scopes are destroyed after an DC attack or whatever I want orders to return home.. or at least be able to tell the homefront I'm returning home due to damages. And make BdU respond to that. tell me to go to a milkcow for repairs, loose my wounded men and get a replacement just like RL.

I've never used teleport other than during testing. I normally have two options, return to base the slow way or perish at the bottom of the sea.

Never used the teleport option. Was only dimly aware that it existed. I can't imagine that the game will force you to use a teleport back to port, even if the option is there.

I always loved going back into the port and playing 'docking my boat' there.
But in really bad weather conditions I also would only sail very close to the port and teleport from there. Because the wave height didn't account for being close to the shore line or a harbour and that made docking in stormy conditions overly difficult.
