I like to equip my watch officer with 'eye of the eagle' and my gunner with +accuracy enchants and the extra crit bonus perk. In combat he casts the giga shot spell and......
lol jesus okay I'll stop, I'll stop.
Don't they already have experience though? Isn't that how some were able to be promoted and others weren't? I thought the promotion was already like a 'level up' that made them effective longer before needing rest. I could swear I saw that bar along with health and morale.
If they were to make the officers actually do their jobs and not have gps, then I can see more experienced crew being a more involved part of the game without breaking the experience. A good navigator can give you a better idea of where you are, have been, and are going. A good weapon officer could identify ships better from a distance and provide more accurate firing solutions? A better watch officer can spot further and I dunno predict the weather better?
Sailor Steve is right. The renown system is good and makes sense. And though more effective crew is cool, there should definitely not be something really screwy like the uber faster boat example he used.
GreenHornet, might you go into more detail as to what you're thinking because it sounds like what you want has kinda already been in the games. Hell, I believe SH4 with uboat addon added what one might consider perks or skills like that recon plane and whatever else (never really played it much).
Anyway people should keep an open mind. Gameplay>Realism , That's what they keep telling me when I want Oblivion or Fallout 3 to be more realistic
ps. btw, Oblivion with mods off of Delte's List is like a whole new, challenging, mad fun game.
