On my boat we rarely saw our skipper anwhere besides the Control Room, his stateroom, or the wardroom. Maybe once a week or so he'd come back to the engine room, but we didn't see it as a good thing or a morale booster. It usually just meant we were going to have to clean a whole lot more because, let's face it, a power plant is never going to look as clean as a radio room, and since he spent the majority of his time in the cone, that's what his standards were based on.
This thread was started because of a
question I had in another thread.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining that they added the feature. I think it will be cool for eye candy, and could definitely make the game more attractive to some newcomers. I was just curious if we'd HAVE to use the 1st person feature, or if we'd still be able to get reports and go to stations the traditional way if we prefer that. I don't want to have to leave the scope when things are getting hot because I need to run down the ladder and down the passageway to the sonar room to dial in the hydrophone, then run to the plotter and plot that bearing, then run back to the scope and plan my attack.
I doubt they set it up that way... I was just curious if anyone had heard anything about it.
