Renown - that is one of the things I was referring to. As Frau Kaleun just said, it is not something that can be measured, or in any real way USED in a historical setting. For myself, I have gotten to the point that I choose to find a Kaleun I like or think I can do better than, give myself his starting rank and the crew and equipment of his ship, and go to his assigned patrol area - and go from there. Awards I give based on RL criteria, rank ditto - as you can tell I am one of the hard-core ones!
But just to make myself a tad more human - I STILL haven't really gotten the hang of manual TDC - and in reality that was actually the job of the I WO and his crew - the Kaleun gave the input but didn't actually run the TDC etc, so I kinda justify my lack of knowledge there. So I still have auto-targetting on most of the time.
Of course, I am fully aware that I SHOULD know how as every Kaleun was once a I WO!!!
