Whoops! I must have glossed over that one. Thanks! So there's no way to maintain time compression when I get a radio message or might that be covered in another setting?

Having finally gotten my computer set up again, I've been checking out the latest version: LOVE IT! Especially the part that awards all the medals and badges recommeded with one click. Love the experienced crew as well, but I'll have to be selective in the early part of the war; after the very first patrol of the war I was advised that two crewmen had completed "two or more war patrols"!:rotfl: Well, I'm not complaining about something so minor that would take so much work to change, if possible at all; especially when it only involves one patrol out of many careers (when a captain retires or dies I start a new career that same month).

Looks great so far!

I'm using SH3 Commander for the first time after getting a major RAM upgrade. Launched my first patrol and was pleasantly suprised.

Then I went and read the "readme" file.

Typical, I put to sea without finding the nightclub. Can someone write directions so that when I get back I might find it. Thanks in advance.

Your only regret should be that you didn't try it earlier.

It's a bit like the American Express card. You know, "don't leave home without it."

While in port (and only in port), uder "Action" the nightclub option will be there when you click on it.

Is that after the first patrol or is it available prior to the first patrol?

[Sailor Steve]

It only kicks in after the first patrol.

They don't tell ya where it is until you've proven yourself. "Shh, it's a secret."




Jerks.

...and apparently I didn;t prove myself in the first patrol.

Can someone send a wench around to escort me to the Nightclub please. Apparently, I am unable to find it on my own.

Those guys will be mighty offended if they knew that you have totally written off their Spanish Civil War experience.:rotfl:

You can reduce the likelihood though if you want - checkout the below block in SH3 Options.cfg:

;EKIIChance=<percentage between 0 and 100, ie 20 = 20% chance that crewman will have EKII>
;MaxPatrols=<maximum number of patrols crewmen have undertaken. Applies to all years>
