<.....> Also the current reporting officer is updating you every 1 minute (in the initial version there was 4 minutes, so this may let you believe they don’t do anything at all). The reason we decided to make crew report every minute, not every 5 seconds for example is because it can become annoying to listen to that guy reporting the same thing over and over.

I wonder why they'd hard-code time intervals like this? Why not have the reporting guy announce negatives every minute (or four) but report positives immediately...

It doesn't make sense to surface next to a destroyer 2 seconds after the last report and have to wait 58 more seconds for the next report to roll around.
