ORIGINAL: Alfred Neither commander aggression rating nor routing orders are relevant here. 1. Subs have a much lower damage threshold level than surface ships when it comes to triggering "cripple" concern status. The lower damage threshold means that a sub Patrol TF will be treated like a cripple TF even if the word "cripple" is not displayed. 2. The sub lower damage threshold levels to trigger "cripple" apply to Patrol missions. Transport and mine laying missions do not come within the lower damage threshold trigger levels as they are one off manually player executed operations. Of course if under computer control, you are stuck with the threshold trigger levels determined by the programmers. 3. A sub patrol TF will: (a) terminate the patrol early and return to port, where it will automatically disband and the sub automatically goes into pierside repair mode, when any damage component reaches 25 (b) having returned from patrol to either refuel or replenish ammo, it will not resume it's patrol if any damage component is at 10. In this instance the sub patrol TF automatically disbands and the sub automatically goes into pierside repair mode. Here the OP was experiencing primarily the operation of condition (3)(b) which prevented the sub patrol TF from going out on "patrol". That a patrol zone was not designated is not mandatory for the "cripple" effect to apply. What matters is selecting the patrol mission. Alfred Ah yes. Although I'm not positive the damage threshold is 25 - at least for System. I'll have to check next time I have to manually order a sub back to base (one of my periodic routines is opening the ship list, selecting subs only, and sorting by damage).
