You can't imagine. It lets you choose wave height, gun reload rates, randomizes your gramaphone tracks, lets you organize almost anything by date (so new things appear when they're supposed to), gives you the option of starting with a boat number that actually belongs to that flotilla at that date, gives names to the ships you sink, supplies a random database of more than a billion possible names for your crewmen, allows you to award medals and promotions at your discretion, kills or transfers crewmen at random (D'oh!), allows you to start with crewmen who are not green (they may have experience/patrols under their belts already)...and so much more. I'm sure someone will start listing things I've forgotten.

2.6 also recognise when you are at a milkcow\resupply and sets days in base to one for those occasions also has the random damage\malfunctions to simulate espionage etc

Yep, SH3Cmdr R2.6 will automatically recognise and change the days in base value to 1 when docked at any non-home port.

One exception though, and that is if you have damage.

Basically, regardless of where you dock, SH3 will fully repair you. When developing this feature, I just couldn't accept forcing a one day turnaround if the player had damage that SH3 was going to fix anyway. So, the one day in base is the minimum. Added to that is the usual time that it takes to repair any damage. Yes, perhaps not reflective of history, but consistent with SH3.

Not being able to play currently I was unaware of the 'automatic 1-day' feature. That is great! One more thing to look forward to.

Hehe, don't worry, I had to re-check the source code myself!
