Sorry to be a pain with all the questions...

Under the Nav Officer orders (IIRC) there is an option to plot a search pattern, you'll find it there. You want Kiel Outbound, make sure you do this before even moving from your mooring.

Don't worry about asking questions mate, that's why we're here.

Cheers matee!

I'd seen those buttons while out on patrol and wondered what on earth a 'Kiel search pattern' was...

I don't have GWX, so I haven't made that particular boo-boo, but if I had to make a list of the ones I HAVE made...:rotfl:

If I remember correctly from Wiki or this site, your patrol grid is worth 300 renown while docking is worth 100 renown. Given the choice, I'd do the patrol grid first, try to keep it honest but if you run out of fuel 200km from home, the warp home feature is there.
