One way of circumventing the 1st patrol bug

You know, the one where zero tonnage or renown is awarded for your first patrol. I was affected by this during my 1st patrol in a Type IXB, even though I did not upgrade my boat nor enlisted new crew before I set off. 30,000 tons wasted!

So what I intend to do if I ever start a new career is to set sail, reach a point say about 100 miles away, and either abort the patrol (Return to Base option) or sail back to port.

You get zero renown, but you've wasted only a few game days, and you're set for your next patrol.

I'll pretend that this was a training/shakedown cruise, or that the boat encountered serious mechanical problems that forced me to abort the patrol.

What do you think?
