Here is a question I bet you haven't thought of - Page 2

I've thought about it many times, and mentioned it more than once.

I've also mentioned that one before. You get killed, and the game ends with a note that your 1WO got the boat home safely.

It would be very disappointing if you as the Captain could not die in the scenario described by GoldenRivet.

Imagine how much more reserved and realistic you would be if 'you' could die.

It would add to the excitement and tension when attacking on the surface and I know that almost everyone would not stay on the surface and duke it out with an aircraft because your game would end, bring it on!

We must be allowed to die . So it is written , so let it be done .

GoldenRivet · 09-26-09, 10:17 PM

in the end the devs can do whatever they want... as long as there is a "house of ill repute".

Hmmm and can the Kaleun be intoxicated and killed with the soup from the cook?

Somehow this possibility seems to me even more dangerous than the risk of enemy fire, given what we have seen so far from "smutje"

I dont think the crew will be the only to be hurt, i mean a direct hit from a bomb on the bridge should do some heavy damadge to the boat.

Captain relieved of duties for incompetence.

If Kaleun is killed the carrer is finished. But if it's injured?

Option A: I would bet for the second officer at command taking the command. And player can take the role of this officer till reaching port.

Option B: the second officer at command takes the command and sails to port in an IA form. While we only can operate as a sailor in the other stations.

If the captain dies on the bridge, and the game ends, would definitely be a welcome addition to realism.

If injured, well, then we better have a good medic on board. But how this could be implemented

Maybe a 50/50 chance of a having the career pronlonged, depending on how much injury and how good the medic is (regular, veteran or elite).

Good observation here.

Could also have it based on how long it takes for you to get back to port plus the medic skill and severity of injury. Maybe the captain will be out of service for a number of months while recovering.

Wouldn't that be something: You're severely wounded, the 1WO gets the boat back safely, you're expecting (hoping) to spend some time in the hospital and get back to action, only to find that your career is over because you lost a leg or arm?

Sorry, couldn't resist

"You must gather your party before venturing forth !"

I'm sure someone out there will get that joke.

it took me a couple of hours to get what they wanted from me with that message, way back then... almost deleted Baldut's Gate

Edit; sorry, I meant Baldur's Gate.
