I can confirm that he arrived safely after the traffic jam was cleared

Same here. Hank Bailey is MIA. I've finished the campaign yesterday, claimed it but it's nowhere to be found. Of course i've restarted the game and played a lot of battles after that... but he didn't arrive. Maybe he's stuck in traffic

I agree with "your torps your responsibility." Yesterday i've almost killed a friendly BS with 3 torps hitting it because i didn't saw it when i've fired and he had a perfect "torp intercepting" course and there was no penalty for this (at least i didn't see any at end game results). I think that just paying for friendly dmg will be ok like 1 silver/1 hp. This would make friendly fire a very expensive business because i think that at release, gains from battle would be like 10 times less.

For range: Why not draw a circle around your ship on minimap? A green one for guns, a red one for torps. This would not be so intrusive like drawing on water. I usually have a problem by not knowing how far my torps can go Spread: no thanks. It would make it too easy to aim at long distances in the first place.
