There is a no respawn included I think, BUT without the missing CVs, which is pretty pointless...

Come again?

You mean there will be a no-respawn scenario, but it's missing the carriers that were on the stocks by 1/1/42?

That suggests one of the first mods will be...

I would like to put this particular issue to bed.

In AE, scenarios can be developed to either Spawn, or Not-Spawn, by setting a switch in the editor.

The release scenarios will Not-Spawn. There will be “replacement” of things like barges, and other ‘dinky’ things, but Spawning pertains to Carriers/Cruisers, as it was in WiTP-1.

In the release scenarios, every carrier or cruiser that was built will be in the game and will arrive at about its nominal arrival date.

I have stated numerous times, that ALL historical carriers and ONLY the HISTORICAL carriers are included in the game. People may disagree with this. But that is what the editor is for.

You have made overhauls in the loading routines so that only so many ships (or tons of ships or something) can load at one time. You have also overhauled various resource sites.

Having seen in current WITP how long it takes to load at smaller ports presents the possibility for mismatches in places that produce a lot of resources or oil. For example, a base just might produce oil at a rate faster than it is possible to load up the oil to carry it away!

Be fair T, I did say that I had not been able to find the result of the team huddle on the subject. I was wondering whether there should be a summary posted or maybe an FAQ sticky to stop people like me bothering the busy team with stuff they have already answered...

Good point. That is definitely something to watch for.

IRL that type of information was obtainable early on and "easily" obtainable from 1943 on. Many many Japanese ships, merchant and naval, were sunk as a direct result of operations initiated in response to SIGINT.

Will you be able to select which ships either re-spawn or get replacement with the editor?

Terminus is being a little bit "brief" (reminds me of Leonard "Pith" Carnell). Is true, No is the answer, but .. Spawn/Not-Spawn is a "scenario" switch. If you set Spawn, it happens just like WiTP-1 .. no changes, no options, no nothin ... Nothing Different, i.e., Nothing Different. So if you set Spawn "on" for a scenario, you can expect the game to respond just like WiTP-1; Nothing Different. Same as it ever was, i.e., Nothing Different.

Upon mature thought, and reconsideration, I don't know why I just didn't let Termie's "No", sit still. Pretty much says it all.

Sorry, T.

Ciao.

This sounds like a non respawn approach to me. Thanks.

Excuse me for being dim, but in a non-respawn scenario, what would the Lexington (for example) be called if the original wasn't sunk?

Now, does anyone know why the Hancock and Ticonderoga hulls exchanged names?

Status: offline 		Well on that note I guess you could use the names of the planned but never completed ones in the case of Bon Homme Richard etc so as to not repeat names. Originally Cabot was an Essex, then when it was renamed a CVL became Cabot. So the CVL that became Cabot would also need a different name.

One problem leads right into another...
