Something wicked this way comes? (for naval sim fans)

Rumors say Sonalysts Combat Simulations may be up to something.

Subsim forum link.

Thing is I really thought of this couple of months ago, when Sonalysts got a new 17 mil. contract with the Navy.

Let's hope for the best.

Ok, so the secret project surfaced. I was kind of disappointed, but got over it.

Sonalyist working for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) released a UUV-sim "ACTUV Tactics".

This freely downloadable PC simulation from DARPA will allow players to operate the ACTUV (Antisubmarine Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel) as it attempts to track an unknown submarine threatening the coast of the United States. By analyzing how the best players use ACTUV to complete their missions, DARPA hopes to gain insight into optimal tactics and capabilities to be implemented in the prototype system.

So you can serve you country by playing this (if you're from US). (I would play it also, but I'm not getting payed :D)

IMO, the project sounds boring, and the whole hype around it (in subsim circles) was an over-reaction. But maybe some enjoy it.
