Thanks, Dowly!

One more questions:

The crew's reknown. Does their reknown influence anything? Reason I ask is, I now run SH3Cmnd with GWX. One officer is at the top of the ladder and I am considering replacing him before first mission with a torpedo officer I can shape to my likings. I might even replace all officers with fresh out of academy ones. But, if the original officer's reknown of 1001 matters a whole lot, I would reconsider.

EDIT: Thanks to Pisces too.

Yes, you are right, total accuracy is impossible but I figured by finding the exact angle, at least my error is halved. An example: At 10,000 metres, 1 degree means roughly 175 metres uncertainty. By halving the angle, I get an uncertainty of about 88 metres. By observing from the surface and keeping an eye on the TDC, I can reduce the uncertainty even further by eyeballing fractions of a degree. I just did a test with god's eye enabled and at 3000 metres the position I found was off by roughly 10 metres from the ship icon on the map. The 3 readings I made gave 2 intersecting points that were less than 10 metres apart.
