skipper mode resting time compression

[delta062baker]

wondering what people are doing for when the skipper needs to rest, as there is no time compression during the rest time. i dig the compression while in the map, but i think there should also be a compression during the resting mode so that i dont have to sit around while my skipper restores stamina.

Are you talking about time compression when you're docked at a port? You can skip a lot of time by moving cargo to your ship. Simply filling the pantry can take a frankly obscene amount of time.

Btw, your first officer's main job should be to take command of the crew when your skipper is resting. And even when both of them need rest at the same time, most of your time will be spent by getting from point A to point B, which your crew can do on their own, at least for a while.

not in port, during transit. i have them all on a schedule and everything in that regard works fine, im just saying when you walk to your bed and click rest, you cant compress time while going from point A to B like you can when you are at the map desk.

are you able to play as the First Mate? i was under the impression you could only play as the skipper in skipper mode

[Tibi]

Oh sorry I didn't know "skipper mode" was a game mode. Have you tried the time compression keybindings?

[epicft]

Hot key works, but not so much, for FPP, and max x140, if i remember right.
Map - its once way for compression right now

Really? I just played my first game in skipper only mode

And i can skip time.. all you have to do is go to the map, and on the top left you can speed up the time.. It doesn't matter what your captain does

I think.. you are making me doubt now. But if skipping time wasn't an option for the longer travels, i wouldn't be even able to play this mode..

I'm pretty sure it works..

There are other factors why you cant speed up faster.. enemies nearby, or shallow waters. near land.. those kind of things.

No, no, I am able to speed up time using the map, I’m saying when I’m playing as the skipper and sit down in my bed there’s no time compression, while resting.

i find that design choice weird. when in skipper mode you only can speed up time when in map mode or when on a station like periscope. in bed is basically a station, and it should be possible to time compress. the only solution i see is going to bed, open map, speed up time, and hopefully not miss my character stops resting

[delta062baker]

Ok, glad I’m not missing something. I was kinda hoping someone would say “ oh do x, x and x” and it would work.
It is an odd choice I think also, I understand being able to do it in map mode, but I would rather resting instead of periscope. I tried opening up map mode once and when I closed it he had gotten up from his bed and was walking towards the map station so I havnt tried that since. Currently I just sit on the bed, then turn on a tv show to watch for a while irl lol

confused, i play as skipper. To skip time while resting i just go to the bed, press M and skip time as normal? he remains resting

[delta062baker]

I’ll try it again, the first time I tried accessing my map from the bed he got out of bed so I figured it didn’t work that way

[Noctover]

he does get out of bed when you come out of the map, which is annoying...But if you go to bed and press M you SHOULD see the rest icon on the skipper bottom right, indicating he is still resting during that compression.

If it shows the grey circle with the line that will mean that he's not.

I also find it useful in skipper mode to remove all his priority orders in the crew management, as you decide what he does anyway.

If you automate him just like any other leader and leave him idle, then press "m" to access the map you can time compress and he will continue doing his duties and resting just like every other officer

When I play Skipper mode I usually set up multiple "Jobs" for my skipper.

"Travel" - is set up just like any other officer
"Attack" - only Observation as job duty
"Evade" - only Navigation as job duty

That way when I'm just traveling and using lots of time compression, he follows the schedule like everybody else.

If I'm attacking a target, I switch him to "attack" and if I'm surfaced he will remain on the coming tower and if I'm submerged he will remain on the attack periscope.

And if I am submerged and trying to get away, I put him on "evade" so that he remains in the control room.

You do have to switch his schedule over to "free time" when you do this, or all "on duty" until you plan to travel again and want him to resume a normal schedule.
