Hello Michael. One minor but quite annoying thing about how ship repairs are handled is that ships with a single point of major engine or flotation damage must manually be put into a shipyard. This tends to result in dozens of ships with 1pt of damage that they have acquired while at sea piling up in ports and spamming up the operations log. Could it be made possible that if a ship, at the end of a turn, is in a port with a shipyard that has enough room to take it, and has only 1pt of major engine or major float damage, without having any other damage, can have a chance to repair the 1pt without user intervention? It would cut down on tedious clicking for the sake of clicking quite a lot, I think.

(I suppose it's possible that this already happens and I simply haven't paid attention to individual ships enough to notice, but then if that's the case I wouldn't know...)

In a sufficiently large port ships with one point of engine damage should not need to be put in the shipyard. Ports size 7 or larger can repair up to 5 points of engine or major floatation damage while in Pierside.

Right. That's why I wouldn't like ships move into yard automatically. They could potentially block the yard for ships in urgent need of repair. With only one point of major damage that blocking wouldn't be that long though.

Latest Beta but don't know if it's this patch that caused it. Out of fuel TF not moving see LC TF 228 located at hex 137,135.

The base in the hex is slowing the move. It appeared to move in the following turn. Did it do so???

Yes, but the 'problem' is not a question of using of shipyard over pierside...it is standing-down versus standing-up repairs at all. For example:



This freighter is at Kobe...it will not repair that one point of damage if left alone, and as a consequence will generate a line in the operations report, along with a dozen other ships. Of course it is fixed if you go around manually setting these ships to stood-down repair, but it is such a stupid, unnecessary use of time - they are available the next day anyway, and why is Mr. Nimitz required to go to all the harbours to shout at the engineers himself?

My question was, is it possible (assuming the program can check whether a 1pt repair on a ship with no other damage will take one day or not; which I don't know, hence the question) to make these 'automatic' (by putting the ship into offline repair at the end of the turn, or just pretending to, I don't know) - since they would be completed by the next day it should be invisible to the player and take no more resources than are freely available. And make the game less annoying to play!

Gameplay change suggestions:
Allied transports are suffering huge OPS losses even when transporting from a level 9 AF to another. Currently in my game I have lost 550 transport to OPS losses. The highest in my game by a far margin. Perhaps this should be tweaked a bit?

My apologies if this has already answered but I've noticed an increase in downtime for maintenance on higher service rating aircraft (specifically 4E's). I can't see anything in the beta patch notes other than a comment that durability is now accounted for when putting aircraft into maintenance mode which will "spread" the maintenance out a bit more. Was a change made that increased the maintenance/repair time for aircraft such that high durability aircraft take longer to repair now (similar to ship repair).

Cheers,

Daniel

One very small interface request if it can be done.

When you use the mouse wheel to scroll a list it highlights the line you are pointing too but the mouse popup never changes. Can't post a pic but if you open the Naval Air and point to any unit name or location then scroll you'll see what I mean.

Member Downloads. 1108r9 (which you mentioned in another thread?) was a Beta release and it is exactly the same as the latest official release. Since then there have been many additional Betas. The procedure is to install the game, then install the latest official (corresponds to 1108r9), then install the Beta release of your choice (if any).

Another request that may not be possible.

As I normally do every turn I check to see if there are any ships in the red fuel wise. A PB in a empty TK TF returning to Japan needed topping up so I refuelled expecting the PB to go into the green and maybe one of the TK losiing some fuel as all had over half normal capacity (4500/8000). The whole of the TF filled up from another 2 ship Tr TF in the same hex with more fuel. This happens often and isn't a problem, that's how the game works.

In this instance both TFs were returning to Tokyo so it did not matter. If the TR TF had been going the other way it possible could have. So is it possible to add a function to stop TF refulling other TF's as well as preventing them from refuelling themselves?
