This is how the engines code of SH5 is working. When recharging batts the starboard engine is set to ahead flank (or is it the port engine?) while it's disconnected from the shaft.

I've thought about adding a new command to the game - extreme battery recharging. This would allow both engines to recharge batts at the expense of no propulsion Could be quite handy sometimes.

Also thought about adding another new command to game - one that would allow the electric engines to be coupled to the diesel engines when at ahead flank for a little more knots.
