I completely agree: walking around the boat looks like fun while not in combat. In combat, I as the captain should be in the control room or conning tower, or on the bridge, giving orders directly, through speaking tubes or through messengers.

The way they apparently have it set up now seems silly - assuming the reports I'm reading are accurate and not that some people are just not understanding how to work it properly.
