Planning when not playing

Sailor Steve · 09-05-12, 07:48 AM

When I'm not playing? I install mods, uninstall mods, experiment with mods...just about anything but play. In fact, I don't play much.

I fear that the way things are going I might not get any playing done either. Just planning, adding mods and reading about U-boats. Maybe it's a good thing

Mods. The reason I've never finished a career in seven years' playing. I had just started my first when the Kiel Canal mod was released. I wanted to sail through the canal so I started over. Then came the buildings and trees for the Canal, and I started over again. Rubini's Harbor Traffic mod was next, so I started over just to see the cool ships. Then Real U-Boat, the first supermod, was released, and I had to play it from the beginning. The the first Grey Wolves came along and I wanted to see what they'd done with the harbors. Then GWX. Then GWX2. Then GWX3. Then the St Naz mod, with the working lock gates. Then the... I'm just gearing up to start again. Someday I'll finally have a new computer. And then I can start all over again.

I haven't been around from the start of modding SH3, but I can see how it went with you and how this is going to go with me: when I get a new computer I'll probably try Living Silent Hunter. And by that time HAHD might be ready for experimenting too. Eventually there's probably gonna be some mods made on top of LSH and HAHD too. We'll be swimming in this mod soup for a long time

I remember there being a saying that no plan survives the sighting of the enemy

This plan went to the garbage can when I didn't notice I had accidentally put caps lock on and then pressed n to get the manual recognition. The game interpreted it as shift+n which in my Stiebler modded system puts on forced time compression 64

Luckily I was submerged, it was night time, and the enemy was blind, and I didn't collide with anything. I just sailed on by the convoy before I realised what the problem was and could take the TC off.
