Status: offline 		Newest beta for testing. This is a small scenario that features an intelligence-gathering mission. Your real goal is to avoid combat. It also features a modified LCS as a next generation Argentine fast frigate.

Please let me know what you think. Among other things, I am curious if I am getting the Executive Officer right. At various points, he advises the player (the Captain of the Kent) on what needs to be done. Would an XO actually talk this way to his commanding officer or should I rephrase things? Any other recommendations for the way messages are set up--does it give the right information at the right time, etc.?

Thanks!

I'd say the XO is too casual, but I have no real experience :)

I did gather the intel and won, and after that turned towards the frigate, and found out that if he shoots first, I am dead, and if I shoot first, he is dead.

Status: offline 		I am in the middle of the mission, it's the night after the first day of operations and I noticed a bizarre thing, namely the Type 1007 radar which is in the hull specifications described as having range of 96 nms is actually picking up the surface contacts to maximum distance of some 25 nm.I thought that may be it was the difference between nm and klicks, but both values are given in nm. The quick net search I have just performed yields up 300 klicks which I believe is consistent with about 96 nm.

Screen and save attached.

Status: offline 		This is probably a line of sight limitation. Given radar antenna height 30 meters and target height 10 meters, the line of sight (radar horizon range) is 36 km, about 20 NM, according to this - http://www.calculatoredge.com/electronics/lineofsight.htm

Status: offline 		Agree with the surface curve argument,also sea state is 4, but that should basically regard subs mainly and I would go with the LCS stealthy design, but to my best knowledge the signal doesn't bounce off and return the echo of the civilian traffic around which is also present in the area.

Status: offline 		Version 2 uploaded. I think I've fixed the polygon issue.

What else can I do to make it a better scenario? Any other thoughts on how the XO gives information to the player/CO? Too informal? I'm using the XO to give hints and advice to the player, of course, but I don't want it to be totally unrealistic.

Thanks.
