So basically no matter what iteration of VII type you play, you're stuck with these guys? Man. The clones are looking better alla time.

Seriously. I just thought there was gonna be a guy offering you soup. I didn't know I had a weapons officer who could get around the Second Law of Thermodynamic and make my torpedos stronger. Or have a guy who bursts in to tears when the going gets tough and every man's life hinges on every other man doing his job efficiently. Or all the other RPG stuff.

And all this passive/active stuff. Do we have to roleplay that out as well? How is that gonna work out on your ninth patrol when Benno bursts into tears because a British DD is sighted coming straight at you with a bone in its teeth?

Do you see the problem here? In making these RPG elements they've totally jumped the shark, imo. But, okay, you argue, it's a new direction. I'm good with that. Okay. But does it have to be so cheesy....?

Why, yes, I guess it does. Because that's the new direction.

Seriously. I just thought I was gonna be offered soup a lot. I didn't know I had to wet nurse everyone on board.

Hey, maybe it will work. Maybe people will lap this up like cream.

But....sheesh.
