It's based on the fact that when a player clicks on a unit, they expect that unit to respond. Not a "sorry, we're too busy polishing the brass" message. . That would be annoying too....., I mean the message.... Ships sometimes must stay in harbor because of all kind of [periodly] duties. Some of them were discribed in earlier topic. Harpoon is a game about reality, designers [ I am one of them] are looking for the most realistic circumstances in their scenario. When Aircraft logistics are possible, why not the same for ships/submarines? [imo, technically it is not a problem, or?] But, talking about messaging, there are many possibillities/reasons available: 1 of them could be: Unit is docked, est. time readiness time is 14:00 hrs. [example]. Implement 2-3 standard messages for such situations, the player would understand. Playing HC, messages are rather realistic.... "malfunction of Mk141 VLS" or the vessel that runs on the ground.... etc. nice and sometimes frustrating messages. But that's all in the game. My request does imo improve the game. I hope that AGSI can do something with it. Cheers, Frans
