Welcome aboard
I guess you are playing stock SH3 ?
You dont have to return after 24hrs
spend 24hrs in the assigned patrol grid to get your renown then do as you please and go where you like
There are plenty of warships in stock mainly patrolling but also taskforc movements
You can do as many patrols as it takes till either war ends or you die
lol
Obviously the longer you spend at sea the less patrols you are doing
If you find SH3 stock easy enough and your computer is up to it pop over to the mods section and get yourself a supermod
GWX/WAC/NYGM and LSH to name but a few
They all enhance the game and add so much more
Personal choice is GWX but then am biased
Also grab yourself SH3commander - not a mod but a stand alone program that gives you greater control over many ingame items
And better interaction with your crew
Enjoy your stay
