It sounds like we're both talking about "Crash Backs".
I had a buddy who was standing throttleman watch after we finally got good old Ustafish out of a long overhaul.
Our skipper had been talking about doing crash back drills so up in Control it wasn't that big of a surprise when the OOD ordered a backing bell while we were cruising along.
I guess the skipper didn't like the reaction time (putting it mildly) and he set a speed record sprinting from Control to Manuvering.
Allegedly, our skipper took control of the throttles
manually while he chewed out my bud and the RO.
Now, anyone who ever stood watch back aft or made it through quals in general can say, "Hey, that part of the story IS REALLY MESSED UP!!" and you would be right.
Getting back on topic, yeah you
could order a backing bell IRL if the situation is dire enough but we're talking about a game where the whole point is to beat the Devs.
