(RTP) Real Time Patrols

[Sharkley]

Another forum member and I are working on a project and I was hoping to gain some support/help from any other interested members.

Real Time Patrols

This is a simple concept, take real patrols from real U-boats and real area's and translate that over to SH3. Of course a few things will have to change such as start/end dates, but patrol area's and patrol duration will be set and followed. You can play all 1x or use limited TC.

We are working on setting up a BdU that will issue patrols to those who wish to take them, once a patrol is selected you simple post a simple hourly/daily patrol log of events for other to read/share and comment on. Screenshots and videos will be welcome to of course.

We are just getting this project under way so any help would be great, we know there are other things out there that are much like this, but with this one we really want to keep it simple and fun with no serious time wasted, play as little or as often as you wish.We also have a ventrilo server set up for players to log on and chat while playing.

We have a set patrol layout in the works and we will need some captains to come aboard and help out with idea's comments and play testing. This will not be a addon or a mod so you can play a stock game or with as many mods as you wish, you can also play at your one speed as everything is based on gametime and not real world time (other than the month), honesty is the only real thing needed as we count on this to provide patrol logs and ships sunk info.

So if your interested, let me know I can provide links to our blog site (soon to be website?).

Thanks for reading !!

Sounds interesting, good luck with it

Thanks, right now it is more or less a idea in the works. I guess you could sum it up a roleplaying mod (without the mod part) I think it is interesting and it would be cool to have a simple concept to add some depth to a great game.

This could get really interesting if you can get many captains to join you.

I haven't done a 1x TC patrol, but Am on a low TC patrol at the moment.
When patrolling I usually go with 16x-32x TC. During a long transit I might increase TC to 128x and it also has an affect on the weather.

It is currently my 10th day at sea out of Lorient, France. Position is AM0152 Rockall Banks. In real time I started this patrol last sunday.
And right now it is getting a bit boring since I haven't had any contacts so far.

I'm open for the idea of yours. And am excited to see how this turns out

Thanks for the support.

The whole idea, is to build a virtual wolfpack to allow people to share thoughts idea's and findings while out at sea in a roleplaying aspect.

Website is underway and March patrol list is being compiled for use.

We want to keep it simple, fun and easy going so people don't feel any pressure, the main aspect is to have fun and enjoy this great game but maybe take it just a bit deeper to allow those who are interested to get into character. There will be no rules just simple guidelines to follow or not follow how you play is up to you, in the SH3 world just like real life people do things different ways.

Looks like more will get done this weekend, so please stay tuned for update info.
