Catching fish should give time because its useless otherwise. There is not enough time to die, so crew replacement is not neccessary. But if you swim around frustrated because you cannot find the white submarine it would be fair to at least extend the time by fishing. Thats how I see it. Of course, usually fishing burns time...

Thanks for the comments.<br> I tried to post before but it didnt work :/<br><br> Anyway:<br> crash after level seven: this is a bug from the level loaders very fragile nature, should be an easy fix.<br><br> I had a pseudo cooldown action for firing, where you hold down the attack button, and the ship generates an attack every now and then.<br>There was also a bit of code that prohibited the number of shots at any one time.<br> These have been removed because several people found them annoying/confusing.<br><br> Why would catching fish give time?<br><br> Yes, the fish catchers are stupid, currently they go for the <i>last</i> fishing hole they can reach, since this was for a competition, that was the simplest and fastest way to do it.<br> I'll try and work on these issues soon.

crash after level 7: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Tob.TWIM\Desktop\Py\others\red_herring-1.0rc7\red_herring-1.3\SFTRH.py", line 1049, in ? game.play() File "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Tob.TWIM\Desktop\Py\others\red_herring-1.0rc7\red_herring-1.3\SFTRH.py", line 320, in play level_data = level_loader.load_data(self.level) File "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Tob.TWIM\Desktop\Py\others\red_herring-1.0rc7\red_herring-1.3\level_loader.py", line 127, in load_data rocks.append((int(float(a[i+1])), int(float(a[i+2])))) ValueError: invalid literal for float(): ranrock: Hint: Add cooldownrate for fireing torpedos. I can fire 20 torpedos in a second (which makes destroying enemies too easy) Catching fish should give time. The fish-catcher-pinguins are stupid: they dont take closest fish.
