One of those moments...

daft · 03-26-07, 02:34 PM

After my first career got caught in some sort of loop after five patrols, always assigning me the same patrol area, I decided to retire and start a new career in the same year as my previous one ended. I took command over the Wahoo, a fact that to some extent helped me get over my irritation at the loop-bug or whatever it is. Orders for the first patrol; East China Sea. Not an easy assignment, but if Wahoo can't do it, no boat can. I plotted my course, rang up full speed ahead to shorten the travel time to Midway a bit. I selected bridge view just to check on the sea state and was just about to turn on the time compression when I realised it was a full moon out. The rays were reflecting of the almost blank sea, small bow waves slushing over the boat as we made our way north-westwards. I'm not saying it was a poetic or profound moment in any way, but it made realize how immersive these games can be at times. I kept sailing like this, in real-time, for almost 20 minutes before I decided that enough was enough and finally turned TC on. With a few more patches this game will never leave my hard drive.

When friends would ask if I missed the navy? I would always reply being on the 00:00 to 04:00 watch. Standing out on the bridge wings or at aft lookout running with only navigation lights on. There is not a star you can't see. After 20 mins your rods in yours eyes adjust and you can see almost as well as daylight. You can even see the milkyway nebula that our galaxy is named after.

I would like to take my wife on a cruise to see it. I don't think it would be the same as passenger ships are lit up like the Las Vegas strip, and you can't see many stars there.
