The issue is that the damage control function is tied directly to the LI and his "skills". The functions are basic critical functions that should not require the LI to be "minty fresh" to execute. If a boat is flooding in any of the other sims or IRL, even Bernard will help. The only skill I can see justified as attached to the LI is the "Repair Destroyed System" skill. This means that the Chief is jury-rigging something that technically should be out of service without a drydock. If the Chief is beat-up, he is obviously not in the condition to rig anything. Flooding and basic damage control need to be independent of the horribly broken skill system. I would expect to see a "Damage Control" tab on the Status menu handling all of these basic functions.
