SHIII Commander does exactly nothing...until you ask it to.
With it you can randomise your crew names (and your Captain's name) one at a time, or all together. It lets you:
A: Manage your crew. It takes you to a special screen that lets you give out extra medals and qualifications. It lets you promote or demote crew members at your choice.
B: Look at your Captain's life and career. It tells you when and where he was born, and after he retires it tells you about the rest of his career and life. It also retires him after a random amount of patrols...but only if you want it too.
C: Set the parameters of the game: Do you want the deck gun to reload after 1 minute? 15 seconds? 1 second? Just click the box and type in the number. Do you want waves to be twice as high? Click 2x on the wave height box. Decide that's two much? Click 'Normal'. Do you like seeing the 'Hull Integrity %'? Click 'On'. No? Click 'Off'. Do you like the RUB fatigue system? Hollywood 24 Hour? 8 Hour? No fatigue at all? Just click on the one you want.
D: Set the time compression parameters with a click. Hate leaving port in real time? Click 'Near Land; and set to 128x, or 1024x if you're brave. Set max TC for 4096 if you like.
E: It also assigns a name to each ship you sink, so you'll see it when you look at your career (also recorded in Commander)
F: Also, if you like, it will make you lose a crew member while in port (anything from 'Transferred to a new boat' to 'Killed in a bar fight' or 'Arrested for being drunk and disorderly'.
SHIII Commander puts a huge amount of formerly complicated tasks at your fingertips. As I said, it can change almost anything, or nothing...your choice.
