Hi,

I don't agree that the helmsman qualification is completely useless (at least if you use the Longer repair times mod). Having an officer with the helmsman qualification in the command room multiplies the efficiency of the whole compartment by a factor of 1.5 or 2, IIRC. Thus, it decreases the repair times. This can be quite important because the main pump is in the command room and it can play a crucial role for recovering from flooding.

In stock and GWX it's not that crucial because you can easily have a max. efficiency in the command room even without a helmsman qualification. However, if you use the Longer repair times mod the helmsman qualification shortens the repair times of the items in the command room, e.g., the pump.

To summarize, I would say that the helmsman qualification is useless in stock and GWX, but not if you use the Longer repair mod.

Cheers, LGN1
