I press escape and my options are OPTIONS, SAVE, CONTINUE and EXIT PATROL.

I select EXIT PATROL.

I then am asked if I want to ABANDON MISSION and I select YES.

Next is the Mission Results screen which shows the objectives status and mission summary. I can either CONTINUE MISSION or RETURN TO BASE.

Selecting CONTINUE puts me back where I was with no change in status.

If I select RETURN TO BASE, this takes me to the Single Mission screen and I can either select SINGLE MISSIONS, SAVED MISSIONS or go back to the Main Menu screen.

Selecting SAVED MISSIONS puts me back to where I was with no change in status.

Soooooo, am I totally overlooking something? Is the GWX 3 mod sufficient to do this?

Thanks

and not regular patrol mission...

If by SP you mean single player mode then yes. Does docking require multiplayer mode?

If you're getting an option to ABANDON MISSION, it sounds like you're playing a single mission rather than in career mode.

IIRC, when you're in single mission mode you don't have the same options when you select EXIT PATROL. Selecting a single mission to play means you've gone out on one single patrol with a specific objective. When you decide to end the patrol, the mission is over (whether you achieved the objective or not); if you select Abandon Mission, your only options are to confirm the Abandon Mission order by returning to base (which ends that gaming session until you reload a mission or career) or belay that order and continue on the same mission.

It's not an open-ended situation like career mode, where you go out on one patrol after another and "docking" is just a break between two of them.

My apologies, the directions I was giving assumed you were in career mode.

No apology needed. You helped a newbie. I can't ask for more. I'll give career mode a try.

Thanks to everyone for the assist.

If you're going to give career mode a try, and don't have SH3 Commander yet, consider adding it to your SH3 experience. It will make managing your crew and career a whole lot more interesting and immersive plus give you some extra options for your gameplay.

There's a stickied thread near the top of the Mods Workshop forum for the latest version.

Single missions can be great fun, though, if you want to test out new mods or just fire up the game for a couple hours of fun "on the side" instead of loading your current career patrol.

Make an effort with a "normal" mission, so you can patrol,and dock at Las Palmas without problems

In a single mission I don't think you get an option to dock anywhere - it doesn't play out as a "patrol" in the same sense as when you're in career mode. With some of the missions you don't even start at a base, the game loads with you already at sea in whatever location is relevant to the mission you selected.

So when you're ready to stop playing, you can either continue the mission and remain at sea, or you can abandon it by "returning to base" - which just means you go back to the menu and your playing session is over.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking.

SP refers to "single player" mode, I think?

I was talking about the differences between single mission mode and career mode, both with a single player - not about single player vs multi-player, about which I know nothing.
