Excellent job sqk7744 I can see how this could get to be overwhelming if the volume of requests gets much larger. Your crew could end up being the size of a subs .

I have this idea :hmm: in the back of my head (dangerous place, that is!) that there should be a way to automate all of this. If I knew how to modify graphics files within a programming language, it would be a fairly easy task to write a program to create all of this stuff automatically given the basic backgrounds (kill flag, commissioning plate, etc.). Does anyone have any experience at modifying graphics file programmatically? Or am I insane for even considering a task like this? :rotfl: Just a thought (I have them sometimes and on rare occasions they are worthwhile:p )

[Lagger123987]

Can I still keep my older kills when I just transfer to a new boat?

Good Question, I posted in the general forum:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122796

Thanks

* From the poll results, looks like all you get to keep is your total tonnage

Thanks Sir!

Man that would be excellent ~rumor has it that the Devs left an unfinished version in the code to do just that.

Cheers
