The disappearing hull integrity gauge is a feature, not a bug."
That is not quite true. Yes, there were no "integrity" guages, but visual inspections of hull damage, both internal and external, even sending someone under the hull once surfaced to inspect it would give a captain a pretty shrewd idea what strain his boat could endure given the damage it might have incured and the quality of repair work his crew carried out if they were able to. This would assist him in assesing to what depth he could dive to in an emergency without being suicidal.
In the game we cannot visually inspect any hull damage and it is therefore my understanding that that is what "hull integrity" is all about. I am under the belief (maybe wrongly so) that in the game, if your hull integrity is, say, 2 or 5% then diving to maximum depth is tickets for you and your crew.
Oh, and by the way, far from being an "instabilty" player (your words, not mine) I did read your "read files" that came with commander and unless I missed it, nowhere does it say that it is meant as an add-on to Rub or that once installed one would lose hull integrity notification or crew would not refresh. But hey, maybe I missed that.
