Docking and Ending Missions

Twelvefield · 08-20-05, 11:15 AM

Here's another poll about SHIII trivia, but I like these polls.

Personally, I like to press Esc when I am in range of the base.

There should be another option: 'I always dock in the quay with the band and nurses'. :P

Since the latest traffic mod we normally start from a pen (with a roof), and not the quay with the band etc.

I figured different people would have different settings, so I would humbly suggest filing your "favorite" docking space under the selection of the most "convenient" docking space.

I usually press escape within 30km of base

I don't play full realism, but I do like to take her out and bring her back to the slip. The only thing missing is line handlers. Just my way of adding a little realism to my game. And when its blowing a gail, its not so easy when you can't see 50 mtrs ahead of the boat.

My crew doesn't like it if I don't let them listen to the band
and wave to the nurses.....

Do you get more reknown if you actually dock? I press esc within 30km.

Stymnus · 08-20-05, 06:02 PM

If only the end of a patrol could be like it was in Aces of the Deep...showing you sailing in, everyone cheering, and PENNANTS representing the ships you sunk!

Why, oh why could this not have been added?

Yeah, and to be clear: if the option to quit says "Dock at: xxxx" (where xxxx is the name of a port), then you get the renown reward. If it says "Return to Base", then you aren't close enough to port and you don't get the bonus.

I used to return all the way to the nurses and band in Wilhelmshaven.
Nowadays, I just get close enough to get the "Dock at: xxxx" message.

"Deutschland, Deutschland..."

Damo1977 · 08-20-05, 08:56 PM

ah ok, yeah I always "dock at xxxx" never at "return to base", so I havn't been missing out on reknown.....thanks

As mentioned, you do get the 100 extra points for 'docking', but no extra for actually driving the sub into its pen.

I almost always dock where the oom-pah-pah band is playing.

So...................... none of the above.

Duli · 08-21-05, 09:55 AM

Sometimes within 30km and sometimes in the dock itself.
