You can test this by adding manual nav point somewhere on the map (over land for example) and asking navigator do perform dead rec. some time later...
On the other hand, celestial fix will always be calculated somewhere around your true location (If there is no heavy fog or clouds of course). |
Thanks vdr1981! I'm currently satisfied with the precision considering dead-reckoning but I will monitor it for the future.
Drifting from this subject, I also wanted to ask about chief engineer and his skills for putting pressure to repair crew. His 2 special abbilites are greyed out and I cannot klick on them and on the other hand damage control team icon is available but when I click on it, it flashes orange a couple of times and the back to white, like nothing happend. When I take a look at the systems you can see that repairs are on the way and that they are working well but I cannot see that "extra" effort that chief engineer skill should provide. Can you explain the crew mechanics behind this, it looks that there is something that I didn't understand very well?
