Ah thank you two.

Just tried the scouting for the first time after checking through the "how to play" and seeing it mentioning destroyers having a better chance to get emblems from scouting. Is it okay to just let their durability run out and pay for their return? I doubt I can ever be on right when they're about to run out and what seems to be RNG deduction based base on their scouting history. Is the difference simply not having to pay to have her return?

And for my own question, I ended up sending a ticket about not being able to chose my lieutenant and my name. They responded saying it happened with many players and asked me who I wanted it to be and what I wanted my name to be. Hasn't gone through yet but if anyone else had it happen to, just a heads up.
