So this can happen when you check 'sabotage & malfunctions' in Commander? Hm, that's why I don't use that option anymore. The idea is cool, but only if it were somehow better incorporated ingame. You know, that your officer gives you some kind of warning or at the very least that he screams like a little girl when something goes wrong.
I played with sabotage for a time, but when something malfunctioned, the lack of any reaction from the crew made it feel more like bug in the game than sabotage or malfunction. Kudo's to Jcones for the idea though, I know you can't just put all of that in the game, but it's not for me.
