How to alter renown?

[Raptor]

No need to fool with that for each career or patrol.

Open Basic.cfg and just make a one-time change to the amount(s) of renown you'll get in each patrol for reaching your assigned patrol grid, for completing the 24 hour patrol there, and for completing a patrol.

Here's how I set mine. It's high enough to let me buy whatever I want after my 1st patrol, but low enough that I'm still motivated to reach my assigned objective. I don't want to spend time on crew management and promotions so I buy all Chief Senior Warrent Officers and dismiss all other enlisted personnel (I modified Basic.cfg to allow that - see another thread for how).

[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=3000
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=1000
CompletedPatrol=500

I'm not looking to fool with it each patrol, I just want to get back the 2000 renown I blew on fancy torpedoes without realizing they cost renown.

That's all well and good (and I do the same to encourage me to follow orders, but not that high ), but if you're starting a new career in a XXI, in '44-'45, you really need the upgrades before you sail.

But either method is fine.


And PS, you can leave the completed patrol at 0, 500, or a bazillion. It doesn't matter, the use for that constant was never coded into the game apparently.
