1. No. (with all due respect to my German forum-mates) Franz #1. Franz #2. Franz #3. Franz #4.
2. Not really.
3. NO. I keep the same crew, and I load them up with medals. However, now that you mention it, I do start a new career until I get a "free" machinist. There's space for one officer, and I keep restarting the game until I get a machinist officer for zero reknown.
4. Yup.
5. Not so much "statistics" as they are "naval crew". I have a machinist officer, and I appreciate him as a machinist, and generally refer to him as "the machinist". I've torpedo-men, and call them that; the chiefs I refer to as torpedo-goats, and the officers are torpedo-monkeys. Same thing with the helm/con guys. The watch men are "eyes" and the gunners are "gunners". "Flakers" and just a general repairman "rat". It bends me a little bit when I lose a crewman, simply because I've got to deal with a n00b in the meantime 'till I get him trained.
