I will go ahead and post the results here, but I want the credit for it if someone uses it in one of their mods!

--------------------------

I edited the Interval3 line in each setting to around 300+. This was the best balance I think. But doing this alone will not allow the sub crew to run engines, etc. So I also modded this:

I increased the quality effect to 10000 for the lower class sailors. This allows the boat to run ok with the other settings above. I left the higher officers alone, because it affects the damage control team too much. These Quality Effect numbers need tweaking and balancing. That will come soon enough.

I tested these settings with the damage control team. You will need them! I know this this tweak isn't perfect and needs some fine-tuning, but it makes for really long repair times now. Hello Das Boot.

I will soon send a text file of this mod to the SubSim library for posting after some more fine-tuning.

had a feeling that the interval might have summat to do with this---you can change the title of the thread now--to
"REPAIR TIMES STILL WAY TOO SHORT..SO DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT"
