Air and Flooding

Your compressed air refills when you hit the surface. There should be no need to blow ballast in order to surface - your boat will sail to the surface without blowing ballast.

If a compartment is fully flooded you'll lost the boat. If your pumps are destroyed and you can't blow ballast, the only way you'll go is down!

I don't think you can lose compressed air through damage, but you can lose fuel. It doesn't tend to leak, you lose a fuel tank immediately it is damaged.

Yes, they are designed to explode under a ships keel.

I think so...

Yes, use Wolfies Tweak Pack (it's in the 'other modders mods' link in my sig block).

Sometimes a 'stationary' ship can be moved by wave action and, although technically stationary, can be reported as moving away (pushed away by the waves).

The report ignores the movement of your own ship. Think about kicking a ball and running after it. The ball is always moving away from you until it stops rolling (or you catch it up!).
