An Option in the Workshop for Short Patrols.

Why: Numerous people are unable to run the sim at 8X time compression - obviously - because of all of the activity going on, and so the frame rates drop to be very low. The reason most people use Time Compression in the first place (this is my guess) is to "get to the action faster."

If there was an option in the Workshop to select Short Patrols along with High Encounters, people would get to the action in a lot less time and wouldn't worry about trying to set the compression so high. There would be little or no need. If you start in the air (already an option), fly and fight within a few minutes and can end the mission - all in real time - I think a lot of folks who don't have a lot of time would love that feature and it would give a break to folks who don't have "killer rig" systems who would like to fly more but can't spend the time.

Yes - people could just choose Quick Combat action - except you don't get to be in a campaign that way. Short Patrols would allow people to have a campaign that don't always have the proper time to fly one.
