Noticed that if you change the ship order in say, home computer, it won't change the order in a kitchen computer, for example.

I've heard of "Chef Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares", but "Mai's TB Whoring Kitchen Nightmares" is a nightmare I can do without... :P

The ships revert back to their original positions if you change servers also.

Mine seems to reset after I crash. Kinda sad I almost got the routine memorized on how to re-arrange my ships to my linking.

I noticed this file in Documents/NavyFIELD folder.

Odd, I haven't seen this before. Could this be related to the ship switch?

OK, I think I've found a work-around for this problem.

Moving things in and out of the HQ seems to be what breaks it. So if I move anything into or out of my HQ, before I exit the game I just swap the position of a ship in my harbour and swap it back. Seems to work.

On a side note, I tried making the ._lst file read only to see if that stopped it reverting back after restarting NF, but then when I tried rearranging my ships, NF hung (had to end the process)... It doesn't surprise me too much that SDE's devs can't/don't even do basic stuff like check a file is open and writable before trying to write to it. Obviously the program writes the ship order to the file when you rearange your ships, but when you use your HQ this gets broken. I to fix it I guess they just need to make sure the file is rewritten when you exit your HQ.
