That being said, the "renown" system of stock shIII was ridiculous, and i have never used it since the early supermod days. And even those overhauled the renown system, completely.
You have it backwards. No, they didn't hold stuff waiting for a worthy commander, but when something new was delivered and there was only one, do you think they installed it on whichever boat was in port? No, it went to the guy who they knew they could trust - the commander with a proven track record.

I think SH3's renown system works quite well.
